I was in one of those home stores the other day and was looking at the Formica counter top veneers. They sure have a nice selection of colors and patterns in one step. Any comments? One comment: HEAVY. (it might be good for a DS plane though.) Mark Mech [EMAIL PROTECTED]

There are some really fine experienced designers (which I will not mention for fear of leaving someone out) that tend to lurk in RCSE and the F3F mailing list. My hope is that a few of them will join this discussion and offer nice suggestions. I will offer the following two wing designs in an

Raymond, I sure hope you were just kidding about flying COMBAT with hawks. Please, PLEASE, PLEASE, DON'T COMBAT WITH THE HAWKS!!! They were there first. We are the intruders. Consider what can happen if you combat with the local birds: 1. If the bird wins, you are out 1 toy. B.F.D. 2. If you

I made my first attempt at glassing a wing over Thanksgiving weekend, with very poor results. Due to brain failure, I got lacquer thinner on the cores and ruined them. The area that did not get thinner on it became my practice subject. I used one layer 4oz cloth with Aluzine epoxy from
