What happens when you drag your feet for a few years? Well, you find that you have quite a collection of Tools from various estates that you have neglected to offer to your customers. Today I took some time and photographed all of them and logged them into my website. NOTE: there are TWENTY-EIGHT HARD-TO-FIND ITEMS – a large number of Rubber Strippers, Indoor Winders, Outdoor Winders, Balsa Strippers – a LOT of stuff! (Maybe you should tell Santa!) Check them all out HERE.
NEW PRODUCTS
Well, a reintroduction of an old product: the Boehm Clutches, now in ALUMINUM! I got a batch of these made, in both the 0.047″ and 0.032″ shaft sizes. These are much more durable than the printed plastic – but they are about twice as heavy, too! Now you have a choice – Plastic or Metal. Find them HERE.
SOON TO COME:
I’ve decided to sell replacement vacu-formed canopies for my short kits. These normally come WITH the short kit, but maybe you want an extra or you damaged yours. I don’t have them online yet; I’m still building the catalog entries – but soon!
Similarly, I am developing Scale (appearing) 3D-Printed Prop and Spinners for my Peanut short kits. Scale appearing because they represent the original number of blades that the real plane had. You’ve seen my 4-bladed Corsair – that’s an example. I will have sets for the Corsair (4-blade and 3-blade, no spinner), Yak-3 (3-blade with spinner), BF-109e (3-blade with spinner), Barracuda (4-blade with spinner), and the Stallion (3-blade with spinner) – and probably more. The spinners will have blade location identified, but not cut out. The props will be printed from heat-resistant ABS and will NOT have a ramp or clutch (so you can install your favorite clutch). Please note: these will have rubber power and model weight recommendations provided (based on what has worked for me).
Lastly, I’ve been getting a lot of queries about my mini adjustable nose buttons. So I am pressing forward and will likely be producing these soon. They will be in KIT FORM – that is, YOU get to assemble the final product. They are just too time consuming for me to build them. I’ve already got an instruction sheet written up.
