LOVE that trick of using a ziplock bag to mix the epoxy

Brings back memories of making Guillow's Balsa kits out of Wakefield, Mass.. I stuck with rubber band power but had some very long endurance flights with my Arrow, Javelin and Fairchild models,. Wish I still had a few of the dozen I made in the 60s and early 70s.

Safer to use 4 bands on the wing. 2 front to back and then 2 crisscrossed, if one breaks you won’t lose the wing. Nice build. I started building models since 1950, RC since 1970 , rubber power before that. I’m still building. Love it.

When I see the build it really feels like old school style builds. I don't planes that way anymore today.
@jimmyjennings90416 ай бұрын
I found out the hard way that when I "crisscrossed" the rubber bands. When the model I was flying with crisscrossed bands I did a cartwheel wing tip to wing tip it kept all the bands on ok but did not release because of the "Crisscrossed bands" and quickly destroyed the wing. I will never use this idea again. No one at my flying field never uses that method nor will I. Do it at your own risk!

That's a cool idea to make such long videos for a beginner plane. It's rare. The video include a impressive case of error you could avoid by seeing it again and again, and think to check the hand and eye of builder, he does not do mouvement freely, he built with care. I do a few other way but globally it's a sane and good method So if I would like on such long vids to find subtitles for the risky moments and made light on them, I found the whole result very good and a must have seen for all who want to begin for fisrt time a new plane from box and wood sheet. Keep an eye on it! Already do? Why did you wait ?? Do it again 😁👍 My 2 cents: (in same bad English than previously) I would say to beginner to choose a simpliest wood glue, slow and easy to use. They could replace adjust and take a longer time to built with error possible where Uhu Hart and Cyano can't. Also cyano is a big big loss of lifeage for the plane. Ok 1st plane could be crashed. But if not, don't hope to keep it flying for decade if built on Cyano. Where wood glue could stay good for decades. A beginner is not fast and use this advantage choosing slow glue is a must to do. 30min wood glue or 2h are perfect, exterior glue is not necessary as your plane will be wrapped and don't suffer from humidity on fly, and you will store it safely too no?)😇 As glue is an heavy subject in building, Cyano is light,wood glue medium light, Uhu Hart mid, epoxy heavy. The strongest is not the best, and not dependant of weight. Use the less glue as possible, take time to swipe the excess after joined parts. Immobilize them together or press it for good flat or square gluing, and keep in mind "light is right"(C.Chapman) so epoxy is heavy glue, don't use too much but use it where its absolutely need, mix it as long as possible (1mn for a quart nut is good, and don't charge too much for avoiding drop, you also could do better gluing when don't need to glue 2 flat pieces, like in angle or for reinforcement, by using wood residus of cut and shape, and mix it with Epoxy, glue became thicker, cure faster, and is much stronger while being lighter due to less glue needed for same spot. On experiment level pilot , the plane could be glue same with microballon of glass, ultra light ultrastrong and relatively cheap👍 Also take time to bought the calque paper for preserving plan, and fixe the plan of a solid and flat, very perfect flat workbench. The better support you fixe the plan, the better the plane will flight. Take time to read it, identify parts in the wood stock, and mind twice before cut anything!!!! Also every cut must be done Ith a new cutter blade, of a new scalpel, balsa is easy to cut but not easy to good cut. Mind also the glue is not all, if you don't have a good joint between two pieces of wood, it's a bad job. Try where you can( without shorten a part that affect the geometry of plane) to cut at right angle to match the destination element, before glu it, adjust your part and see it in place blank. Shape it a bit if needed, eonit on rigid flat support with sand paper double tape on flat, to do it perfectly, use high grain like 500 or 600 , at least 320, to not remove too much baosa when you do adjustment. Bigger paper is only necessary when forming a big bloc but not when the need is a quart of millimeter A good scalpel does not need any sanding after such the cut is perfect At 14:20 you have illustration The angle is just a reinforcement, so it's not a fatal error bit the adjustment is exactly those you want to avoid. See him present the part before gluing. Good method but you see the space on upper side between parts and stabilisator angle, it's horrible. You need to cut half millimeter on power side to reach the side correctly. When both parts joined visually correctly, even if a paper could pass through by few spot, you can glue it The glue could handle the little error. But if you glue it like him in this precise example at 14:33 you ask the glue to reach too much space and it can't. You finally glue on less than half of depth and it could be critical if it concern structural joining. The future pleasure pass with that few attention. Not a big deal for the amount of fun you have when see your job take off for first time. You change a massive tree to a light plane than could take off from ground on its own !!! Totally magic sensation trust me !!! Even after years and years, you always feel this strange magical feeling on every first take off from a personnal built! Yep it's heavier than air, and it's flying and you pilot it ! Woooow 🥰☁️☁️👍 Hope these 2cents help. I still built plane from scratch with conventional method, even draw them from blank page, and love it after 40years of building alone. Cheers from France 🇲🇫

It’s nice to see ya build a balsa but what glue your using? Have you ever tried CA instant bond. It is sandable and if ya need a little filler just but some baking soda in the crack and hit it with some thin CA and it turns into very lite concrete! Jus tryin to help.
@catchulater7483 Жыл бұрын
First one ya ever built? Can I suggest thin set CA for your glue. Set the part in place then use a drop to keep it there. If you need more substance at a joint sprinkle some baking soda on the joint then another drop of ca and ya will have a very solid joint quickly. I been building for 40 years. A tip from me to you👍🏻

Hey could you try do a video about, instead of getting laser cut balsa plan pieces to build a plane, why not use those plans and 3D print the parts(ribs)? I know this has been talked about before and weight has been pointed out to be an issue but what about using Lightweight PLA, like others are using to print the plane itself not just the ribs. Just an idea let me know what you think. Thanks!
@Joyplanes3 жыл бұрын
I've thought about it some time ago but haven't put it in practice.
@yzScott3 жыл бұрын
PLA is nowhere near as light or stiff as balsa. There is a reason that balsa is sandwiched between carbon fiber in race cars. It is a pretty incredible building material. Also, 3d printed ribs would be way more expensive (because of time) to produce. I doubt PLA would glue up well to the spars like balsa does either.
