Re: SkyWorksToys Special Announcement

I sent Skyworks an email asking about the sale prices of their kits but haven't received a reply. Has anyone else sent them an email?

Re: 10 1-18 planes for sale Total $300

Just wondering who made the 1/18 Dauntless? That is a very good price for 10 1/18 scale planes. I'm sure someone here will jump on it.

Re: 1/18 type 99 val kit r/c

I know about sanding balsa it is almost impossible to hide the grain. Plus it takes forever to cover. Especially the fuse. My Horten is balsa covered. I am going to cover it with thin styrene. But it is only a wing. Here is an option to help eliminate the grain on balsa sheeted surfaces and the dim...

Re: 1/18 type 99 val kit r/c

Silkspan or really thin balsa would work. Search the rc groups board for Guillows electric conversions under the scale electric section. There are people that sheet planes that are designed for rubber powered free flight with balsa. Here is a link to a Guillows P-39 that is fully sheeted in balsa. H...

Re: The Best 1:18 Items Ever Made

I only do planes so here is my list of favorites. They may change a bit over time, but these four are the strongest in my opinion.

1. 21st P-39 Airacobra. (Oh that's right, nobody has a set large enough to step up and make one.)

2. BBI Corsair

3. 21st Avenger

4. 21st F-104

Just wanted to publicly thank Folkwulfe for the 190 parts he sent me. I had a 1/18 Black 12 190 without stabilizers and he sent me a pair without charging me. I can't say enough about how awesome that is. Thanks again Folkwulfe.
