Because I have so much free time, not! Lets rip into the deck on the house. Chasing the normal deck issues. Not a major rebuild, just repairs and cosmic refresh.

Anyone aware of a good wood filler that can survive outdoors? I'd like to pull the decking and fill the MANY nail and screw holes, sand and reuse them. It is 2x4 redwood.

the balance lead was glued in place. had to do another cut for the e-conversation. then an engine mount out of plywood was cut and the positioning of the nose (as best as the design allows) worked out. fuselage tends to overlap the spinner, ...better not to use a perfect circle in front, right?

Why not leave a small but nice-looking gap above and below the spinner as an air intake? It wouldn't work that well, but it wouldn't look too bad.

It's quite a common thing in full-size now that FES is getting more popular.

Thanks Wayne. I think I'll go with:
2. Install diagonal braces between the spars an the leading edges.

Diagonals installed and tips re-covered with Top Flite MonoKote.
Ready to fly to see if we chased away the howling, soon as we get suitable weather.

Spent some time this weekend, while waiting for glue to dry, to tear apart my SCX24. First time working on a rc car, was a little intimidating at first, but than i ended up having fun.
Completely replaced the baby brushed motor with a brushless and new metal transmission:


New servo, metal steering linkages, metal covers in different areas (trying to drop center of gravity and give it some weight), wheel extensions, and i put in some -33% gears in the back axle.
I ordered new tires but forgot to order wheels so waiting on that.

yesterday I had the maiden of my
GREMLIN1.5M
it flew...
the frame is awsome, the airfoil is nice but I had incorrect CG and tail throws and on the 3rd test the electric brushless quit his game. Bird waits for a new engine...

very responsive and it detected thermals well (maybe it is also good on bubble surfin) but main focus will be on slope aerobatics. I hope the frame is tuff for landing abuse(s) during lifetime*

nice regards, have

*a good bang for the bucks, as I'm the second owner due to handling incapabilities (personal message from my trader)
