The 3m Flexi Bandage tape worked out well to hold the mold halves together. Rip off a length then tear strips off at desired width. 1/4", 1/8", no.problem. This replaced the rubber bands I forgot. Glad I did, the tape worked much better! Another "Fortunate Mistake". |

A sharp no.11 to the pattern. This is one way to do the parting. It's much quicker than making two separate halves with two mold castings. Ugly as sin but it does yield excellent results with an almost invisible part line. |

Spotted this wing kit (and tailfeathers ) designed for the GWS "Slow Stik" at http://www.stevensaero.com/. Looks like a great way to get some ailerons under your thumbs and also follow in James footsteps and start some aerial photography! Check it out. Phil. |

| pfinn | Shortys Basement BV-215 | Reference | 19-Aug-09 01:18 |  | | Views : 719 | | 12" WS. Balsa with a Bass lamination in the fuse. Shaped the wing with an airfoil. Need to go to the Park for some hard throws before it's gone. Gotta make sure it flies good! ;) |
| pfinn | Shortys Basement BV-215 | Reference | 19-Aug-09 01:13 |  | | Views : 735 | | Been blasted with 2-D work the last two weeks so I took a little break and made a little hand-chuck glider for a neighbor. Flies surprisingly well. Too bad I've got to gift it. But it couldn't go to a nicer person. |
