There are a number of devices on the R/C
market that help organize the installation of electronic and
pneumatic lines in your model. The "O-Clips" system will add a
new dimension to the task. The "O-Clip" system is non-specific in regards to tubing diameter or wire size and allows grouping these components together where it is convenient, Each package contains four each of three different sizes of "O-Clips", the appropriate size "O" rings (a few extra of each) and two rolled strips of 1/64" x 1/2" x 12" plywood. This group of 12 is sufficient for most medium to large size models. |
Heat Shield + brush-on ceramic coating High Temperature exhaust gases from both turbine and piston engines are sometimes unavoidably close to parts of the airframe. Tailpipes and mufflers contain the flame but the convective heat can be too much for the surrounding balsa, plastic, or fiberglass structures. Three brushed on coats of this water based, ceramic material, "Heat Shield" will protect those exposed parts of your model. Simply treat the inside of the engine cowl (piston engines) or the inside of the aft fuselage (turbine) and the surface temperature of the model will remain cool. In the unusual case of a turbine tailpipe fire on start up, you will have several seconds longer to extinguish it before any damage to the model occurs. Heat Shield comes in an 8 oz. can and is easily applied with a brush, clean up with soapy water. For extra protection the thickness can be built up with additional layers of fiberglass cloth and Heat Shield. Experimenters can purchase this product and do their own testing if the above information is insufficient.
$18.25The ever increasing aerodynamic stresses we expect our models to endure calls for an Aerospace Grade adhesive product, and Aeropoxy is it. Aeropoxy is a thixotropic, slow cure, Aerospace Grade, 2 part epoxy system. It is the strongest and best gripping adhesive for all types of composite material bonding to other materials such as wood, plastic, and aluminum. Not for use with EPO Foams. If your gluing EPO Foam, there is a special glue for that application. Check out Foam-Tac made by Beacon Adhesives.
$18.95Re-Formulated - QT Plus produces a bond that is almost as strong as BVM's Aeropoxy, but allows for quick assembly and field repairs. Set time is 4 - 5 minutes. Sometimes, it may be convenient to not use the mix nozzle. Just squeeze out a small amount of glue and blend the two streams of glue with a mix stick. Not for use with EPO Foams. If your gluing EPO Foam, there is a special glue for that application. Check out Foam-Tac made by Beacon Adhesives.
$18.95Re-Formulated - Same Strength, Same Characteristics as original Vpoxy, Cures 25% Faster As good as Aeropoxy but cures in 1/2 the time. Not for use with EPO Foams. If your gluing EPO Foam, there is a special glue for that application. Check out Foam-Tac made by Beacon Adhesives.
$18.95Insulating Cloth Adhesive Tape with great abrasion resistance 3/4 X 100ft Good adhesion to multiple surfaces and works great on a wide variety of applications.
