[RCSE] Epoxy-Cabosil Advice
Every now and then when mixing a batch of epoxy and cabosil for structural model building, it doesn't always cure hard as a rock. It ends up kinda rubbery for a few days. I'm using Hanger 9 30- minute epoxy and West Systems Cabosil. Using an accurate postal scale, the normal amount mixed is 3 grams of part A and 3 grams of part B. It gets mixed for 3-4 minutes before adding the Cabosil then mixed for 3 minutes more. Sometimes the mixture cures hard in one hour and sometimes it is still rubbery after 2 days. Only enough Cabosil is added to make the slurry the same consistancy of toothpaste. Any ideas for the rubbery result? Any suggestions for a more consistant epoxy?

RE: [RCSE] Epoxy-Cabosil Advice
You have to use a quality epoxy to get consistent results. Cheap hobby epoxies have lots of volume filler added to make the mix ratio 1:1. Use West Systems, Fiberlay Pro-glas, or another 4:1 or 5:1 resin/hardener system.

Re: [RCSE] Epoxy-Cabosil Advice
Is the epoxy supposed to be 50-50 mix by weight,. or by volume? Makes a difference. .bc([EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.widomaker.com/~conk Williamsburg, VA 23185 On Fri, 30 Apr 2004, Tommy wrote: Every now and then when mixing a batch of epoxy and cabosil for structural model building, it doesn't always cure hard as a rock.

[RCSE] Re: criss cross paint scheme at SWC
Garland- The owner of that plane would be Jason George. Or, as I should say, ex-plane. He was the one who dances with trees, and ended up totaling it at the SWSC. I believe the paint scheme is laid up in the mold during assembly. Not sure if Jason is listening on this list or not. Here's a pic of his sad Walk of Shame coming back with the trashed plane... http://webpages.charter.net/lotus/casl/V006.jpg Dave K.

[RCSE] Scale Soaring Medal Results page
I just published a page in Excel providing the results for the Scale Soaring Gold Medal Program. So far I have results for Visalia Scale Meet, I will be adding Los Banos and the Muncie Aerotow as soon as I get them. I have made catagories for type of sailplane flown, I don't expect to have this information provided by default. If you flew in any of these events, medaled, and would like the type of scale sailplane you flew and its size listed, email me. I may add some interactive features and macros later as time permits. In theory one could sort records by event, pilot, or any other parameter. These are not functional at this time.

WTB Stabs to fit Hera -anything! ...was [RCSE] Hera Cross-Tail Stabs
Somebody somewhere has got to have some old horizontals that will fit a Hera Cross-Tail... I'll take anything I can find. Does anyone know if the Artemis, Nyx or any other horizontal stabs might fit? I'm assuming they would as the fuselages are similar. Get rid of your old unused parts and make a few bucks! I'm willing to do some modification -if it'll keep me from having to build some from scratch... Thanks All! Scott

Re: [RCSE] gluing servos instead of screwing them
I first paint a thin coat of epoxy onto the surface to which I am gluing the servo. Prevents damage if/when you remove the servo. Let the epoxy cure completely. Then I glue it in with a dab of household goop (if there is no foam nearby) or silicone sealant (if there is foam nearby). Goop melts most foam. To remove - pry it out slowly and cut the glue with a knife as you go. I use 3m 4011 double-sided tape. I used 4010 for a while but the 4011 is more weather resistant, stickier, and a little stiffer. 4011: http://products3.3m.com/catalog/us/en001/government/base_supply/ node_GSZLYR7J5Zgs/root_GS3RBW6QFVgv/vroot_GKRTH00ZQNge/ bgel_2LPRFVVBJ2bl/gvel_FCZFTFDP9Vgl/command_AbcPageHandler/ theme_us_basesupply_3_0 4010: http://products3.3m.com/catalog/us/en001/government/base_supply/ node_GSWXL9B1BVgs/root_GS3RBW6QFVgv/vroot_GKRTH00ZQNge/ bgel_Z996N6C7D2bl/gvel_FCZFTFDP9Vgl/theme_us_basesupply_3_0/ command_AbcPageHandler/output_html I stick it to the servo then cut it to size to keep sand from accumulating. -J RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

RE: WTB Stabs to fit Hera -anything! ...was [RCSE] Hera Cross-Tail Stabs
Get a set of stabs from Ed White. They are MUCH lighter than your Hera stabs and the price is right. With his stabs youll lose as much as 6 ounces over all, depending on the weight of the original stabs and the moment arm. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, April 29, 2004 8:06 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: WTB Stabs to fit Hera -anything! ...was [RCSE] Hera Cross-Tail Stabs Somebody somewhere has got to have some old horizontals that will fit a Hera Cross-Tail...
