$7.95Scuff Boards 20pk
Much of the sanding work required to build our models today involves the proper "scuffing" of the wood and plastic parts in preparation for gluing.
These #80 grit double sided, flexible boards are perfect for the job of giving the parts "tooth" for the glue to grab onto.
Critical tasks such as installation of laser cut formers into a fiberglass fuselage are a great application for the Scuff Boards. They are just flexible enough to attack the molded fiberglass and stiff enough to clean off burned edges of the laser cut ply parts. You can trim the ends with shears to adapt to each task.
Once you have some Scuff Boards on your workbench, you will find many other uses for these very handy and inexpensive tools. We certainly have in the BVM prototype shop.

$19.99Heat 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.

Review the accompanying enclosures and the photos below to see the advantages a BVM Jet-Foam Cradle offers. Modify as desired A razor saw or sharp knife can be used to put a "V" notch in an End Bracket if that best suits your model. Outline the desired modification with tape, then cut. Made in the U.S.A. with BVM Jet-Foam The Jet-Foam Cradle will not scratch or dent your model, but gently hold and "cradle" it while you are working on it in your shop or assembling / disassembling it at the flying field. The Velcro straps are handy for some modeling tasks such as installing the wings and transporting the model in a van or trailer.
$155.00Remove Before Flight. Handling your Kerosene powered model is a lot less messy if you plug off the fuel system overflow vent. You prevent the stinky spills in your vehicle and workshop. But, if you take-off with the vent still plugged, your engine will starve for fuel and flame out, usually one or two minutes into the flight. Unfortunately, this has happened to two customers recently. BVM's "Remove Before Flight" Vent Plug solves the problem. It would be hard to taxi out and not see the Red Flag dragging on the ground.
