Well said, Steve. It is the discerning modeler who wants the very best, the
most flexible radio, who is atracted to complex 12 channel scale ships. That's
who the 4000 appeals to. Like any high end product, the market is modest and
you won't find support in every small town. It's no different

Dennis,
Build the spar with 1/2 x 0.030 thick unidirectional CF at the root
tapering to 0.007 thick at the tip - like the Allegro-Lite. That spar is
strong, but aligning all of the pieces is tricky. Be careful with the
glass on the outside of the spar. It can get heavy if your not careful.
I think to make it really interesting, you should fire up the ceiling
fan. At least on low ;^)

You say it's an alloy. Do you know what the tungsten is alloyed with? There are some tungsten alloys that have been specifically formulated to be easily machined, your bar may be some of that. Get yourself a good hacksaw blade, chuck that sucker in a vise and try it out. If the tools
It depends on what you mean by alloy. You can use a diamond water saw, a

Feel free to pass that sheet to anyonw who wants it.
It is not a glass fuse. It is a wood fuse with glass helping to hold in
the wing hold-downs. I've got some pics at home of the fuse sides before I
made the box fuse. Look for them later.

Hi all,
We'll looks like the lively discussion is dying down which I started by
indicating I'm going to scratch the Multiplex EVO from my list and who sells
the Multiplex 4000. Actually, the discussion was a benefit to everybody on
this list. I do own some JR stuff, XF622, X388S, 10SX and a 10X.
I met Judy while preparing to run the first Mid-South in Louisville.
She guided me throught many problems and help me make contacts for
donations to make the contest a success. The phone conversations were
many.
I know I thanked her many times, but to me it was never enough.
Thanks again Judy.
Just a reminder that we will have an Introductiob to Scale Aerobatics
for Scale Sailplanes and PSS Models at Eagle Butte next Sunday. See
Mid Columbia Soareres site for details. Thanks,

You're going to laugh, but do yourself a favour and try it before to dismiss

How does the density of Tunngsten powder compare to that of lead shot?
I've heard that an alloy of Tungsten is used when it is powdered, so the
density is about the same as lead shot.
