Large B52 PSS
JohnPearson:
A big thanks Joe, for the address, Simon Cocker is one of the top PSS flyers in the U.K. he was flying large models when the rest of us were flying trainers. I will send Simon an e-mail later this week.
JohnPearson:
Hi all
I finished the glassing of the center section tonight, so hopefully I will get the fuselage done over the weekend as planned.
O.K. fellow pilots, I need your help if possible. I have found a company in Portadown who can vacuum press the engines in plastic, however I need to supply the plug, therefore, do any of you have, or know someone who has a wood turning lathe and could turn out a set of engines.
I could make the engines out of balsa, as I did with the test model, however I would like to be able to replace these parts quickly if any got damaged in landing, so plastic engines would be quickest and lightest option.
Could you contact me if any of you can help?
Fred:
Hey John,
The father in law is equiped with a turning machine !
I go and visit him next week end...
Do you have a plan for the engine pods for me to have a look ? :?:
joe:
You could make one out of balsa and use it as a plugs for the vacuum forming?
Fred:
Or Foam + glass for the mould.
Ah well, anyway, let me know if you still need some wood to be turned ! :D
