    Parts For Sale Miniature radiators (New)

    I would caution anyone thinking about this against using copper tubing. For 2 reasons. One, with vibration, copper tends to fatigue and crack, Second is the galvanic corrosion. Copper and aluminum should not touch each other, ever. Use aluminum tubing or even steel brake line as a better choice

    New airfoil website

    There's also airfoiltools.com It's more directed to the RC crowd with RE of 1,000,000 being the max, but they have almost every airfoil in the database. And I've found it super easy printing off the files at any size. No flap data, but still a useful tool. Thanks for this one though, it's pretty...

    Gotta make this exhaust part

Cut the pipe on angles like a pie. Cut half the required angle, flip the...

    DIY LED strobe

    Strobes N' More LED Flasher - StrobesNMore.com That's the one I used. Yes it remembers the last function selected. I put it on almost a year ago and forgot about it. Simple, no radio noise, and plenty of patterns to choose from. Also has a function that allows a "steady on" if you want to.

    Picking a Plane

    The way I see it, you have already named the number 1 choice, the glastar. The bear hawk is a good idea, or have a look at the Murphy Moose

    Visibility ? See and be seen ?

    Wig wag lights and bright LEDs. If you roll your own, it can be done very cheaply. Go on Ebay and search for Cree XM-l2, XHP50.2, and XHP70.2. Those will run, 1100, 2500, and 4000 lumens respectively. My original setup.was 3 of the XML2's with 5 degree lenses and I now run 2 of the 70.2 with 5...
