Re: [RCSE] Need Help with a wing joiner rod

Like the first layer is right up to the edge of the mould the second is 2mm back the third is 2mm futher back... understand? If you don't do this you will get the overlaping layers lifting.

[RCSE] Used F3B or F3F ship wanted
Hello People, Well, it was bound to happen sooner or later. I stuffed my knockabout Slope/DS Synergy today. It lasted almost a year and taught me much about sloping big ships and recently Dynamic Soaring. I would love to tell you all that it died in a glorious DS explosion, but such is not the case. I flew the thing till the battery died and it nosed in vertically from a couple of hundred feet and planted itself 10 inches deep into the slope face. Thankfully, noone was occupying the impact zone. It made a horrid sound on impact. The upshot of this tragic trench digging experience is that I now need a used go fast slope/DS machine. Do you have a F3B ship that is now obsolete due to the arrival of 60-something ounce F3B ships. If you have something for sale, please email me privately. Thanks Timothy E.
