absolutely...
Wow! {:)}
Any videos? (:|~
Cute!!! I once built a rubber powered model (one of the Mercury ones from IHC) with half a prop! The other half was a piece of wire with lots of solder, acted as a counter-balance.
Fairly large model, I think. It was somewhere in the late '60s
Saikat: where did you get dope?
quickfix dissolved in duco thinners
say one tube in 250 ml
OK. I use diluted clear lacquer. OK types, not very good.
yes - mine is not dope strictly speaking - but its an acceptable substitute.
Very well Built. What I like about your build is a hand carved prop. I never got that right, but looks like you havae donea great job. Now Trimming is the othet half of the fun. Are you planning a DT install with wing pop off ? Here is a photo of my old build done recently for sharing.
and here is another for sharing.
