Jim,

Looks good Lamar!

lf you want it to really have some kick and durability to the finish, you should now wet sand it with 2000 grit wet to flatten it. It will feel counter intuitive to do this but...

Lamar,

the DB40 is designed for a 2” spinner. They only come in 1/4” increments. The TT is still the nicest spinner made and they come in anodized colours if you like. Adds a little pizzaz to the...

well that’s clearly the key to the process. However, I wouldn’t entrust an iron on any painted finish at any temperature. I’ve had my share of having to redo paint due to different reasons and it’s...

I've never used the Tamiya tape so I can't comment on it. The 3M is what the pros use for detailing and if applied properly it will give you 100% bleed free sharp lines. You might want to detail the...

just make the fillets to smoothly transition between surfaces. I usually apply the slurry and then dip my finger in alcohol and smooth it out removing a fair bit of the filler material....

Lamar,

Ideally you’d install the pushrod as close to the center of the output shaft on the servo. This reduces throw but increases resolution so it’s preferable. For the control horn, the further...

can't help you with the instructions as I have none. However, I can tell you that the CG is 6" from the straight TE (or from the rear bulkhead if that helps). As for control throws, I would...

Lamar,

good to see you making progress. FWIW, 3/32" sheeting is overkill on framed up classic wings. Particularly if you use vertical grain shear webs spanning the spars and rib bays.

yes and no. Basically using a standard control servo on retracts is more risky because mechanical retracts have a potential for binding since they are subject to takeoff and landing forces....

it is possible to use non retract servos for retracts but these days, it is not particularly desirable considering that modern retract servos DO have end point adjustment. The Spektrum 7000...

As the models go down in scale the power/weight ratio typically goes up resulting is faster models. If one wants a slow model, build it big!

Lamar, how did things go with the DB40?

Lamar,

you can install the servos however you find most convenient. The position is best decided based on how the linkages are routed. My preference for rudder is a light pull-pull setup so that's...

Bridi designed some nice planes but they weren't especially light or "conceptually clever". One such example is how the front top curvature in the tank bay area was dealt with. Basically in...

If you are able to keep the Goldberg NG then this is moot but if you need a new retract you can install a belly/pan mount retract by first installing a 1/16" ply plate separating the tank...

Yes, the 55AX would be an excellent choice. Of the three engines, that's what I would use. As for the side mount, that's something I wouldn't worry about much since you're going to have to...

The wing post was most likely a tuned pipe mount point. A bracket is normally attached to the hard point and the pipe held by the bracket.

Further thoughts when I can get to a proper keyboard.
