PA Ultimate AMR 60 (4): Control Horns

1:40 I make jello shots in 2 oz solo cups 😁 (with lids) but I can also easily mix small amounts of epoxy in these cups.

For mixing epoxy I use regular plastic drinking cups. I cut the tops off to make them very small cups, maybe 2 inches tall. Then I mix my epoxy in them. After using them a couple times a layer of epoxy starts to build and the cups fill up more each time you use them. But one cup has lasts for a long, long time. The downside to this method of mixing is it can trap some air in the epoxy because, for the most part, you can only stir the epoxy.

First, I can't tell you how thankful I was to find this build series. We're doing a PA ADXL for our first ARF, and I was so frustrated that I was ready to take it out back and burn it. Even with the older build videos and the manual, there is a lot of detail missing that you have included. Now we can see some places where we went wrong (install the elevator and rudder before the pull-pull system, making the fuselage bulky and awkward, as you mentioned NOT to do, for example), and can see the light at the end of the tunnel. OK, you asked about mixing epoxy. I like your method, but we've done it a little different. I'm new to epoxy, and didn't know how imprtant it is to get it exactly the right ratio, so we use a scale. First, we buy these little epoxy cups, which come with mixers: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CSKKPDK/ Then we use a 100-gram pocket scale. We squeeze "about half" of what we think we need, then just add EXACTLY the same amount of weight. This is much faster and more accurate than using the little gradients on the side of the cup.

Eric, thank you so much for your kind words. I am so glad that my efforts are useful. And I didn't know those little cups. I must find out if they are available in Germany... All the best to you and for your maiden flight.
