Tower hobbies has one for ~30 that uses standard butane lighter refills.
Radio shack has a smaller one that uses cartridges like Co2 guns.
These both have adapters for light wire soldering and work great at the
field.
The RS model is smaller and more portable.

Another Scobie Gem, I'll keep it.
"cottage cheese" or "silky, about 6mph, and dense" is what a buzzard would think.
This goes hand-in-hand with Thornburg's River of Air concept.

The three "R's" of soaring, a video clinic with JOE WURTS

ordered it already, and want to support the USA THERMAL
DURATION TEAM's defense of the gold medal we won in 1998.
I wonder how many people would like to
I didn't know BVM had soemthing like that filler. I do know about his carbon fiber
fuselage parts for jets, which might be useful on sailplanes, too.

The short answer is no. To get the kind of accuracy you need for small parts like a
receiver and to be able to handle a open class plane, you would spend many hundreds of
dollars. What I did was buy a small gram scale capable of 1/10 gram up to 2 lbs.
Then I went to the fishing tackle store
I don't won't to start a war about weight scales on the list but I would
like some advice on where to find a fairly accurate scale for weighing
sailplanes that doesn't cost a million dollars. So far I've found some
highly accurate gram scales but they won't handle anything over 1-2 lbs. I

One more head to count... among the scratch builders...
I can't even begin to compete in years, models and experience with the
previous postings, but I do love to scratch build and design my own gliders
and sailplanes. I had my first design published in Model Aviation this month
(June 2000). I

Try spraying primer on, then while still wet push the paint into the pin holes with
your finger tip. Wipe off the rest before it
dries.
I got that tip from Terry Luckenback, the best builder I ever met.
It looks like one of the early scale models from Hobby Lobby. Good
commercial!
