[RCSE] Wanted: RnR Millennium Wing Joiner

2006-04-15 Thread Keith Lutz
Hello, OK, one last try. Earlier this month I asked if anyone had a Millennium fuselage and wing joiner that they wanted to part with. I had great success finding a fuselage but I still need a wing joiner. I know I can order one from RnR, but I thought I would give the list one more try. A

Concur on the Sta-Brite kit.  Often found in local hobby & craft shops.  Worked great with the stainless tube push-rods (actually tubes) that came with my Muller Esprit.  Have used the flux with other solder on "stubborn" joints too.  Best to use an iron vice a torch, torch burns away flux t

Well gang, finally after a long winter here in Michigan The Supra #16 flew today and fly it did. At 65 oz it launches as if it were on rails, zooms without hesitation, excellent speed range and lands where you want it to land with out complaint. The air today was gusty and bumpy but #16 flew as

Rick, The Sta-Brite silver solder kit that Tower Hobbies et al. has carried is the one I've used. I use a 40 watt iron or 100 watt soldering gun. Aradhana Singh -Original Message- From: Rick Van Clief [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, April 15, 2006 4:40 PM To: soaring@airage.com

Silver solder that I am aware of requires a torch. Will the kit you are talking about here work with a soldering iron? And is there a special kit for the work we are talking about? This one, from Tower, says it flows at 430 F. http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXFS75 I use t

In addition to the other comments you also need to be sure to use enough heat. The steel pushrod must be hot enough to melt the solder. The three big reasons why solder won't flow out are; 1. Not enough heat. 2. Surface not clean. 3. Wrong flux or not enough flux. michael On 4/15/06, Shape <[EMAI

What Clarence says. In addition, here's a note about the acid flux that comes with the Silver Solder. If you don't want to be tasting metal for the next few months, wear a NIOSH respirator, solder outside, wear disposable gloves, and station yourself up wind. If you get any on you, wash it off imm
