I'm fascinated by modern building methods, please how thick is the wing trailing edge and how thick is the flap leading edge? Thanks👍

RocketMan: I don't love the idea of hammering on your fiberglass to de-mold it. I'd steal a few moves from the high performance rc plane guys and build a full length 2 part mold. The draft angles that you are fighting using a 1 piece male mold wont matter. Sure it seems like overkill because of the simpler lines of the nosecone- yet there shouldn't be any microfractures in the epoxy from hammering apart the mold.😮

Hello Joe. Why you use Carbon wave at up side of wing and Glass fiber down side? Thanks in advance

Enjoy watching your vidoes Joe. Looking forward to 2025 series. I purchased bag material in the tube form from composite envisions that works well. It's high temp as an added benefit if needed. It's always good to have a little tacky tape on hand for those pesky leaks that can arise. Hopefully you won't be buried in snow this year.

Hey Joe. The composite wings built w/David Midgley's during the "buildathon era" Windy days had few ribs. I believe 8 ribs, this included the landing gear supports were ncorporated within structure. Windy used these wings on his Testarosssa, Novanta & Tribute models. This was 2007 theory/technology developed by David . I built one with Windy & David but never used it then left hobby. Is your technology/theory going to remove all ribs? You using fuse gear? I love watching you work.

Glad we are getting to watch your next build

Happy to see you back in the shop sharing your building knowlege. Looking forward to following your vidoes.

Joe, Great video series. I know how long it takes to produce these videos and greatly appreciate the time you took to share these. I learned a lot. I do have a couple of questions. 1. If you were sanding down the clear coat on a wing with open bays would you do anything differently with the open bay and cap strip areas. 2. I guess you didn't have the time to video the polishing phase. Could you share what polish you use and any other tips you might have for polishing? Once again thank you, it was very informative.

Красивый самолёт! 👍 Почему не показали как летает? 🤔

I want to know about take apart hardware.Want to build take apart Vector 40 for electric.Jboy

Восстановил самолёт! Это дорогого стоит 👍

🏆👍

Excellent documentation and craftsmanship Joe. 🏆

Great video Joe. How do you build the mold? That would be a really useful video. Great work.

I would be glad to help make a mold for this

Tout simplement..... Merveilleuse construction.! Finition extraordinaire. Et techniques de fabrication. Hi tech.... Quel beau boulot de modélisme "control Line " 🤔🤔🤔🙏🍾

Hi Joe I'm Duain a Flushing flyer transplant now in Tampa. Please say hello to Jose for me he knows me and my flying buddy Rudy we were knw as team LI. Ive never met you but I follow you, I think you came after I left in 2014. Is the field busy still? Sat and Sunday were always grt and the bbq smells would make you hungry

Personnellement je trouve que la technologie électrique dénature l'acro F.2 .B Tout comme la vitesse d'ailleurs....il manque le ronronnement des moteurs et les odeurs des pipes ou silencieux .... C'est juste mon avis .... Bravo très bel appareil finition américaine.....IS good...👍👍👍🍾

Making a plug is first step? You don't seem to address that.

Juste magnifique...... Yes ......🙏🙏👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🍾🥂

Vraiment belle technique de stratification ..... très tres beau 👍👍👍👍👍

Nice flying

I’m really interested in this process for my 92 cardinal. Do you have a video or advice for making the plug ?

Are all your planes electric or was #9 gas powered?

Real nice plane Joe Great video Nice little tips on taping the hinge lines Thanks Len

The video is much better when horizontal view

Great first video. Good luck with the channel

This is the best video on RUclips. Great job!

Thanks for the videos they are very helpful.

Are you tapering your flaps with the rod method? Or do you just plane them? They look thick.

Будь здоров !

Locks in after the turn really well! Looks like a fun flight.

Looking great. Enjoy your content. It's good to see you posting your methods. Hopefully more control line aerobatic modelers will create channels to share.

What machine are you cutting mask with?

😎 Promo-SM

I do the CA and dust trick all the time. Works great! Way better than filler

Windy had a formula for vent size of the inlet and outlet sizes. Cant remember the formula but something like 1:2

Where the filet wraps around the leading edge I like to slightly overfill that area and sand in with a dowel wrapped in sandpaper.

I've been doing my fillets with a radiused spatula. After watching you with the ball method I think I will be switching over to the ball. The ball isn't dependent on the correct angle to maintain the radius. Enjoying watching this plane come together.

Joe you are a master craftsman. Thanks for sharing

did you build the plane out of carbon or is it f-glass

Hi Joe - I drew up all those original paint jobs in 1988 for Jim Casale and Paul Walker. If you’re going to be using something similar and would like anything else drawn up let me know. It was a fun paint job to do and would be fun to revisit.

I'm not skimping on my finish. I will be laying the clear on heavy enough to bend that Byron Barker paint stand. 😅

Thanks for doing the videos Does the wing have primer or is that silver like windy did his.

I want the rest of the story.😀

Great to see these vidoes. Great job on aligning everything up and taking your time to make it straight. I remember seeing your plane sitting on the tarmac and It's nice to see how it goes together.

I have to try out the heat gun - epoxy trick, thanks :)

Brother, that paint job is amazing! You mind if I ask what you used? Is it automotive base and clear?

Best flyer ever

WOW😮 That was an amazing build and finish! Sorry about the crash. What caused it?
