RE: Fly Eagle F-15 (1/9) Building Thread

Sperx,

I am using heavy duty JR ARMS (plastic composite) on the 8611s that I am using, and yes I had to open the holes a bit for the screw to fit on the shaft end.

regards,
Mike

757Driver,

I use a third line on my UAT to fill the tanks and I hookup my taxi tank to the overflow line. Any overfill will go directly in to my overflow tank and I use that to taxi.

RE: Fly Eagle F-15 (1/9) Building Thread

I would use Hysol 9642 or E20, if you do not have that, mix some microballon wiht the epoxy, not a lot, just a bit to get a runny/pastey form. That gives you a stronger bond.
