One of your early videos just popped up on my feed. You have my attention, subscribed. Still going through them. I'm not into jets that much but like watching your molding techniques, which can be used broadly. Your excellent results speak for themselves despite the odd hiccup (I like that they are included). Really appreciate the time you have taken to share your experiences.

For putting my Cabosil I use a sandwich bag, and just put in the can when done with it

[@kevinmatney2218]

For Epoxy mixing I use a scale only for the last 40 years

Bummer with the bearings but seems that you've put the time into good use by sharing these tips & tricks!
Much appreciated, especially the point about cutting/trimming the ends of cheap brushes that easily pick up cloth... Will put that tip into immediate use, hadnt even thought about it before but now seems so obvious...! 😅

Subscribed. Great video. Thanks for sharing your knowledge

[@edvalls7923]

Wonderful channel with lots of very valuable tips for molding and glassing. I have followed your RC Groups posts and just found you on RUclips. A couple of things I would find helpful would be some videos on making a plug for a project and also how to make a mold for the plug. Thanks again for shring your experience

[@britcharming]

one in the Tucano series and A6

[@ioannisbatas1614]

Superb !!!

[@cadbuildflyrc3784]

Very nice work

[@johanbothma592]

Great videos. I appreciate your efforts here and the amount of detail you add to your builds are amazing.
How long did the Tucano take you to build, from the start of the first plug until the airplane was ready to fly?

[@britcharming]

Thanks The Tucano was about 18 months total with 200 plus hrs of CAD design.

[@jabe5895]

Great video, do you have a video, do you have a video that shows were you make the design? I am guessing a CAD software? And how you make the molds from scratch? New subscriber.

[@britcharming]

I use fusion 360 for CAD. And no I don't have a video of designing the models. However, I show a bit off video CAD making the five blade prop in the Tucano series

[@nicholaskillian6098]

Do you vacuum bag your molds? Or just use the filler to get your details

[@britcharming]

Sometimes it depends on the part I need. For the fuse I just use the filler with no vac.

[@nicholaskillian6098]

@britcharming gotcha, been wanting to get into composite since I have a cnc to make molds but don't wanna get into bagging if not needed

[@eastdave2]

What is the mixture of Splooge?

[@britcharming]

mix the two part resin first. Then add your filler to a mayonnaise consistency or however you want it for the job you're doing. No particular mix it just depends what you need it for

Are the exhaust nozzles for a Carf sized Eurosport? are they available for purchase?
Thanks Graham

[@britcharming]

I have no idea

[@willo996]

@@britcharming What scale is your eurofighter aircraft?

[@willo996]

Sorry I forgot to say that your work is pretty outstanding sir.:)

[@britcharming]

@@willo996 I forget the scale size I think it is around 1/9th scale. The end to end is 76" and 21 lbs flying weight

[@willo996]

@@britcharming Ok then maybe a bit smaller than the Carf version, I think I might follow some of your advice and try and make my own mould. Thank you again sir.:)
