Hmmm...Originally posted by mkmilion
I've chosen 13mm because I'm going for a backyard flyer type and yes I'm using standard CDs I believe they measure 4 3/4". I might actually trim them down accordingly depending on preformance. Seeing how preformance has no standard on these I guess trial and error is the only way to find out.
That's my next project if I can get what I want out of the 13mm.Originally posted by wwattles
Hmmm... maybe a micro-maxx spool? Made with tiny cardboard rings?![]()

I forgot to mention that if your local mall has a Sbarro's, they have those mini-CD's in the lids of their larges soft drinks. Just thought I'd pass the information along...Originally posted by lalligood
The only way I would ever consider building one again is if I came into any more of the mini-CDs (closer to 3" diameter vs standard CD's 4.75" diameter). I wouldn't expect the peak altitude to change that much though...

My advice: build an 18mm spool & only fly it on A8-3s. Easier to build & you can always put a C6 in it when you have a larger field.
Thanks very much!Originally posted by crashinj

OK, first you want to make a 13mm spool & now you're painting one?!?Originally posted by mkmilion
I have assembiled the spool. I will not yet show pics until. At least paint is done. BTW it turned out better than I planned.
HAHAHA Glad to see we both have a sense of humor about this!Originally posted by mkmilion
I hope to hear from you guys soon. Comments, questions, etc., etc. I also hope lalligood repeals my sacralege.
