Tony: Thanks for your support! Tim

[@cccagley5276]

Your videos are helpful and motivating. I have to constantly convert your ounces to grams and fractions to millimeters because that is how I measure the micros.

Thanks!! Tim

😊👍🏻 Tim

Maybe get the servo , receiver , esc board of wltoys helicopter and buy a cheap gearbox and prop online

[@garyt066]

Really like your ideas and process. Hope you'll keep up the great work. See you again soon. I see someone commented the electronics are spendy but it's a nice convenient package that could be moved from plane to plane. Good job!

[@TimMcKay56]

Many thanks for your kind words! Tim

I would love to build an rc airplane similar to my carbon cub. Need a plan

[@TimMcKay56]

Good luck! Tim

Tim, love your videos. I have a question about where one can get Depron or something similiar - or what you use as an equivalent? It appears to come in large sheets with a high shipping cost.

[@TimMcKay56]

Thanks for checking in! I do not have a quick answer on your Depron question, still doing my research. Tim

Great model Tim. Where did you buy your colored packing tape from?

[@TimMcKay56]

Amazon. Tim

[@TimMcKay56]

Amazon.com 😊

What’s really sad for me is the foam board here in Australia is really heavy because of the thick paper so I can barely make anything. do you have any other ideas to make small rc planes without foam board or foam board without the paper

[@TimMcKay56]

For my smaller models I’ve used foam board without the paper. I take the paper off both sides to prevent warping. But you are correct, the FB can be surprisingly heavy for smaller models. Remember, there is always balsa! Do see www.StevensAero.com for some great small flyers. Tim
