Building Techniques

Gang, I am sensitive to epoxy and can no longer be around it.. Having said this what IS the BEST adhesive for WOOD to GRP construction. (cost not a concern). Lets have some opinions. DELUXE makes an adhesive that looks good but not sure what it might be made of.

Thanks for reading

Hey everyone, hope all is good…
I’m working on VARIO CH-53. I’m stumped on where to put electronics ( ECU, batteries etc. there is only the cargo door, no other door access. I could use some ideas. Or pics of your setup?
Thanks for any help!

1. How do I attach the spring to the clutch card?
2. How do I disconnect the electrical control box motor wire from the motor terminal wire?

Control rod thread cutting/rolling device holder for lathe.
Compatible from M2 to M6 cutting disks.
Easy making of control rods thread ends
Thread rolling results in stronger thread ends.

See inside shrinked foam (used for rigidity while keeping light) after exposure to turbine gas exhaust. Pilot forgot to position the blade away from it..

Problem is that such damage isn't necessarily noticeable from outside, or underestimated.
To be replaced without hesitation!

Making progress with my 1.8m Vario Lama build. It's ready for maiden with the remainder of detail and finishing to follow. This is my first Vario Build from scratch. If there is anything you see that I have goofed up on, please let me know.

I am planning to build this model during winter here in Denmark. But not that much information. Has anybody build this model in this scale, I can ask questions.
I am flying helicopter for many years, and flew a "baby" Robinson R22 from Vario and now a Funkey AS350

Getting the mechanics into the Roban 800 fuse has been an enjoyable process, but now I have to think about wiring the lighting which DOES NOT seem like a small job! Need to get my pilots to work for me while I'm not home (LOL).

Anyone have any tips for Changing out the pre-painted roof glass that appears to be incorrectly tinted? Just replace it or should I try and remove the paint somehow?

There is nothing quite like solving what feels to be an insurmountable and frustrating problem.

Check this out. This looks like a great tool to have around.

I'm sharing the Blue Thunder project for a 500 engine with a brushless tail rotor.
The modeling process took me approximately two months. A friend did the 3D printing and assembly.
