_Hey Red!
As a new user of the Pipettes for CA I was wondering how much CA do you typically draw into your pipettes?

Hi Tom,

I usually fill the bulb about 1/2 way. I like to leave a little air so I can "burp" the tube if I need to by holding it upright and giving it a gentle squeeze. I don't build without them now. By far the best way to dispense CA.

Unfortunately not, he was before my time.

I finished the wing tube install and joined the inner and outer wing panels together. I added some filler over the joiner areas and routed a channel to run servo extensions. These will get sheeted with 1/32” balsa, so I trued up the sheeting edges, then taped them all together. I don’t pre-glue the sheets together. They will get bonded with epoxy resin, a little bit of carbon for reinforcement then put under vacuum.

Cheater!! You're doing that at work. Oh wait, that is what I do.

Yep! Lunchtime projects are the best! Huge part of how I keep productive as well. 4 hours/week dedicated build time can really add up.

Good eye. This one was out of spec and was to be sent to excess. Not calibrated any longer but we snagged it, it's awesome for so much stuff!
