  • This nasty stuff is available from Hobby shops and aircraft supply outlets in larger amounts. It is used to shrink covering fabric and tissue paper. It's very smelly and is the biggest cause of divorce for modellers; right up there with diesel fuel.

  • How did the ME 109 fly as a free flight model ic powered?

  • @MissileMist It flew amazingly well with the pee wee, very stable and didn't require much power to remain airborne. Usually ran the 020 at a rich fuel setting.

  • @MissileMist She flew very well: better than as an RC model because of weight of radio gear.

  • Say, how practical is it for me to convert a completed free flight model from the 400 series, specifically the P-40 with the underbelly construction, into RC with a full set of control surfaces(aileron, elevator +rudders)?

  • @calvinliang1, I am not sure if I would say that it would be practical, but this 109 was built as a free flight and I added elevators and strip ailerons after the fact. The covering had to be rolled back and extra spar added to have elevators and figure 8 thread hinges. The same treatment could be employed to add a rudder.

  • I'll trade you a sub for an answer. What is clear dope and where do I buy it? I'm trying to build an authentic scale bf-109 kit.

  • @igenther99 The motor is very small; about as big as a thumb in diameter, but it has more than enough power to fly a 24-30 inch built up model. you can get more information on these little motors on my blog page.

  • @davideo4301 Thanks for that cheap?? Was it big or small

  • @igenther99 This is the motor that I used. available on the internet for less than 18 dollars free shipping. 10g 2900KV Brushless mini micro Motor for RC Indoor fly
