    Horrible news from Vans Aircraft

    I worked at a wedding and machining job shop . And indeed our laser cutting machine does harden the edges of every hole and edges of every part. So much so I always drill an tap holes from the non burning side. I have worn out or broken three or four tap or counter sinks a day if I don't.

    I think you may need veraring cord wing and more angle of attack. plus smoother surface.

    B-18, makes my heart flutter.

    Build a scale B25, that would be just as cool as a Beach 18. Either one would be fine I love them both.

    Propellor Bolts

    Nylock nuts are not allowed on assembly's that rotate. You must use castle nuts with cotter pin or safty-wire the bolts heads together.

    SN8 flies - and lands with a bang

    Yes I watched it. I think if they had relite the engine's 1 or 2 sec sooner. or even increased throttle 1or 2 sec it would of landed in one piece. It landed just a little too hard right on target.
