Re: [RCSE] adhesion and adhesives: long and boring

All this talk about this glove is good for this, but not for that makes me think of one solution that seems good for all, but a real nuisance. Double glove, with Vinyl glove on the inside to protect you, and Latex gloves on the outside to protect the materials and adhesives being used.

Re: [RCSE] Naugahide

All this talk about Naugahide reminds me of another subject that bugs me a little... All this business about vegetarians and carnivores. First off, Vegetarian sounds like a religion or something - like Unitarian (I wonder what they eat?) or Humanitarian (I don't want to know!). The proper

Re: life expectancy (was RE: [RCSE] aluminium bonding)

Not true. Ask anyone around here how far I go downwind. One of the planes was flown out of a very tall tree (I had to push it out of the tree backwards, Fritz Bien performed the lomcevak and recovery) just a few weeks ago, and last year it landed maybe 1/2 mile downwind. I calibrated my range

I double glove with polyethylene (I thing that's what they are) gloves inside latex. THe polyethylene gloves are (were?) available from Lab Safety Supply in a hand shaped dispenser. Cheap! Of course that's what I use building boats. Maybe that's not up to aviation standards. Originally adopted to

Hi Bill, I don't think a lot of weight is saved by using Yellow glue over Hot Stuff. The yellow glue is strong and is cheaper but is not waterproof, if you get wet.?? The yellow glue is Aliphetic Resin and is called Carpenters wood glue. Any hardware store should have itThermals, Art Bill

[RCSE] Anybody using Futaba 9C series radios?

Hello All, Well it looks like it's time to retire my vision from expensive TD ships and move it to slope and slowfly, so I am looking for a new radio. I like the stylus, but its a bit heavy. The JR8103 is great but no sliders. The Futaba 9C series looks cool. It has sliders, 9 channels
