Hi Tom, thank you for posting this video, and for your comment. I’m Gil’s daughter and I stumbled across this video on one of the several times I was missing him and looking for memories of him…It means a lot to me that you are still thinking of him. I’m sure it means a lot to him too. Thank you.

@@angelaroccosarracino5712 Hi Angela! Thanks! Nice surprise to see your post here. I will text you 😀

@@Garethfrostturkeythroat113 Sorry, I don't remember. I need to link you to my friend on Rcgroups who has been flying it and likes it a lot 👍

His name is Garret on Rcgroups maybe you can find him. He posts in slope threads like “Jart”

Wash out is for floaters.

These wings are cut for 50 slope racers doing half pipe in big wind or if built lite, racing along the slope line with quick or vertical turns.

you are thinking too much ;p

Thank you so much Milan. I have played a lot for many years but I am little known. I have no idea that anyone in South East Europe would know my band. But that would be wonderful ❤️😃🙏🎸 Can you tell them I say “Hello” ?

@@TomSarracino No problem, thank you for the music. I believe Tom that you working many years, so I've searched a bit and I really like your songs + guitar playing that is bluesy but also virtuosic. I know little about the music business, but I know it's unfair sometimes, but I'm happy when I come across such quality songs as yours. Yes some people know about your band in SE Europe. I'll say hello of course. even here I promise publicly Tom that I will look for that page where they wrote about your band in other languages ​​(not English), a very long text ... South Eastern Europe is strange sometimes in a positive sense when it comes to art, because a lot of rock music lovers appreciate musicians and bands that are not super popular, that is considered "real music" and "real musicians". I tried to explain what some people's taste is like here, Of course, quality is crucial. More seriously, some of your songs are in my humble opinion on the level of legendary rock songs, they can stand side by side with some of the best ever. I wish you all the best, that you continue to make great music that means a lot to true connoisseurs, it makes people happy, it also heals listeners and that is what real art can do. Music is a miracle. Thanks and don't mind the long comment. Once again, all the best!❤💯👍

You are too kind! ❤ FYI: I recently uploaded the full song thru Tik Tok’s record company, SoundOn Records, to Spotify 👍🎸

@@TomSarracino Thank you for the info and comment Maestro! ( i forgot to write that). I hope that others will find out about this master peace, moreover they will not repent if they listen to other songs. This song "All roads lead to Hollywood" gave me goosebumps after the first riff, and it's the same even today. Sorry for writing so much and i'm sounding like a fan ( guess i'm ☺), but I had to write this. Wish All the best in your future work! 👍

@@sisajtegabre Thank Yous! I made commitment to get ten songs up this year, 2024,on Spotify with SoundOn Records. I have three up and I am working on the next seven. I am moving a little slow as I have COVID Long Fatigue but I am getting better I think. I presently have been getting organized to begin going Live on Tik Tok. Follow me there if you can as that is where I am putting my attention. Cheers!

Hi, Thank you! You made my day 😃👍 Cheers!

I wish I could take credit for it but I’m only following the smarties who came before. Cheers!

No sorry. I bought a version of Compufoil software for like $50 US online and then printed out a RG14 template for the root rib size. (at 8.47% If I remember, its an automatic % sizing for the chosen airfoil)

@@tomserotoninandthedopamine4375 nice good job thank you

You can use guitar string but I felt the fishing leader from Cabbala’s best to use. It’s cheap, easy to use, you get way more. Cheers!

Hi Scott, its been a while. You got me started on a ten year adventure with this plane. Thank you! I loved every minute of it. I am presently working with my band Tom Serotonin and the Dopamines (on youtube here) I have not had much time to fly or build while I pursue the music career. I saw your RCGroups post in the classifieds. I still watch it regularly.

Mostly lite lift keeping your turns big, slow, and level. Nice bail out to the sand if you get in trouble. Watch for your shadow as it comes up to meet you as you land on the sand into the wind. Cheers!

Dang, that's a lot to do. I am Curious....How "far back" do you need to go? ...From the making of the "plug?" to the making of the shadow board? To the making of the mold? or from later on cutting the glass and laying it up in the mold?

@@tomserotoninandthedopamine4375 Im curious about laying up the fiber to the mold to vacum baging, but if you can make a complete series it will be awesome

@@tomserotoninandthedopamine4375 i see you canopy is perfect fit, did it comes from same piece or on another mold?

@@ZuNunchaku Another 2 piece mold

go to RCGroups.com and register then look in Slope threads to find me as "Sand_" There are build threads by me and others that will answer your questions.

Well said!

Thank you. I do it mah self !!

Nah. I don’t believe you. 😅😅

I believe you are asking what airfoil I am cutting here… its an RG14@ 8.47% airfoil printed out using Compufoil program.

@@TomSarracino thank you

Oh boy, I’m gonna have to dig...

I'm sorry I am too busy to to dig thru my stuffs for now but I will keep an eye for it and get back to you here. Tums up!

This is a faster easier way to cut wings for our slope gliders. It has only one pivot point and one template per wing. Look for something called “Feather Cut” for extra info on cutting constant cord style wings.

Hi, Thank you, At 24:37 the video shows the Hotwire pivot point. Pretty much the last quarter of video goes into depth on the preparation setup to get a good cut. Cheers!

Joy Locker ... Thank you Joy. Sorry, I have no idea how to find a copy of that Star Licks Blues VHS tape. That blues boogie was a variation on a pattern I found in an old (now) Arlene Roth book. I can write it out for you if you read tab. Cheers !

@@TomSarracino Whow you replied yes I read tabs and I am a sight reader as a pro trumpet player and sax player. Trumpet is my main instrument but guitar is my favourite as I am a rocker playing in duos etc at loud venues. I watched a Starlicks video(ten years ago) and you came up for two mins doing a demo and been looking for it ever since. I am very happy paying as I am a full time muso ...any info you can give me I would appreciate...ps I play a charvel ...gibson and 100 watt marshall but getting a PRS straight after the Covid 19 ends thanks heaps

@@Rubysimms ...well, let me know where you want me to send the tab.

@@TomSarracino Really? core blimey..Email or messenger [email protected] or messenger Joy Locker Stawarz the only one in the world(ha ha) Perth Musician .Can't beleive you would send them to me ..thanks Heaps x

I saw your comment and posted the StarLicks Blues Rock video with Tom Sarracino at: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nIKngXedrZuDl68 Sorry that the quality of my VHS tape was not very good but something is better than nothing. I hope that you enjoy it. I put chapter markers below the description to jump to different licks.

You are not wrong... but the wire angles toward the tip centerline you see drawn on the foam block. Its nice to have some room to work with. It also gets the cuts higher above the table so I am not banging the wire handle on it as I cut. And it is a luxury to have big tall, fat wing saddles afterwards. Keeps the cores straighter and more protection. If you were into production mode then it might be nice to set up your cutting table to do tighter cuts saving foam but since there is no money in that I don't waste my time. I could buy the thinner 2"inch white foam blocks but I prefer the 3"inch or 4"inch thicknesses. However you can see behind on the left I have a lot of Dow Blue 2"inch foam. The scenic white foam come in 24'X12" blocks I get at the Whistle Stop here in Pasadena California. The Dow Blue foam I get in 4'X8'foot panels at Foam Sales in Burbank. I like the 3"inch thickness in that medium.

The white foam is from Whistle Stop in Pasadena, CA. They sell it in 12"X24" blocks at about twenty bucks. It is used for making scenes on HO railroads. I like the 3" or 4"inch thick blocks, That thickness makes the cutting easy. The large wing saddles you are left with keep the wing cores straighter and add more protection while you are banging around the shop building a plane.The Dow Blue foam is from Foam Sales in Burbank, CA. The Blue DOW foam I have to buy in large 4'X8' foot panels and its gonna be around a hundred bucks for that. The white foam 50"inch cores I cut end up a half oz lighter than the denser Blue DOW foam.

Danny E thank you Danny !

Cap

Tums up !

no :p

Hi Nik, not my design. I got it from TFLG on www.RCGRoups.com do a search for " the Worlds Cheapest Foam Cutter. " www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?191128-the-Worlds-CHEAPEST-foam-cutter
