[RCSE] LED'S

2001-08-23 Thread David J. Schat
Check out the local toy stores. My kids had some clear superballs that had very bright LED's that flashed when you bounced them. I dissected one and found a circuit board about the size of a penny with two LED's, three watch type batteries, and a little spring loaded switch. A little tinkering

RE: [RCSE] REALLY STRONG wing joiners

Once my Mega-Millenium started to reach speeds in the 130mph range, the specailly built double carbon joiners started to bend significantly. I needed to find a solution and thankfully Doug's chromoly joiners are bomber. As u saw from my report on the DS speed record, the wings were hardly flexing

Well, since they use it for signs, I'd call up the local sign shop and ask what screen printing ink they use on the signs. They don't print on the coroplast, they print on sign vinyl, then stick it on the coroplast, or they cut they letters out and stick them on. You can get spray paints to

How about Utracote, will that stick to coroplast? I'm getting my JW kit shortly and I would like to cover the coroplast fin. Only if you put contact cement on the fin first, you are better off covering the fin with sign vinyl or colored packing tape, I usually wipe it down with a harsh

It's sticks okay. Spray it with 3M 77 first and use low heat. Any more then a moderate amount of heat will cause huge bubbles to form (hence the 3M77). James Osborn wrote: Hey, How about Utracote, will that stick to coroplast? I'm getting my JW kit shortly and I would like to cover

James, I just lightly sprayed my JW's tail with run-of-the-mill spray enamel from Home Depot. It sticks fine. When I bought my JW from Pat Bowman he cautioned against Ultracoating the fin. Pat said that with the JW's short nose moment (the CG is only ~1 7/8 back from the leading edge on the older
