| pfinn | Jetco Dayton-Wright RB-1 | Reference | 28-Feb-11 21:47 |  | | Views : 2212 | | My project at WORK! We don't do too many aircraft, so this was fun. Glad they let me do it. Built an acrylic stand for it today and it's already on it's way to Orlando FL for a trade show. As always, a major rush, so it will come back for decals and clear gloss urethane topcoat. |
| pfinn | Jetco Dayton-Wright RB-1 | Build | 13-Feb-11 23:24 |  | | Views : 2134 | | After some serious deliberation, I decided to bite the bullet and install scale action retracts. The gaping holes lead to some creative reinforcement while leaving room for the "Monkey Motion". For time time being , I'm leaning towards pneumatics. We'll see. |

Finally some three blade regular and matching contra-rotating props for my stuff! Here's a link with video. http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=PKZU1380 |

When cutting long smooth curves like this I find that during the cut, looking ahead about 3/8" to 1/2" results in a smoother cut that follows the line much more closely. "Leading the cut". |
