That's a great idea. Maybe put a couple coats of wax on the 1 2 3 blocks to help with the non stick.

Thanks Joe. I enjoyed watching you work on your wing today...great stuff.

Thank you.

Praying that you resume your hobby and for your safety.

Thank you for your input. There are many channels that provide control line vidoes of just the flights. One of my favorites is the one where the flight is traced on a computer map of exactly where the plane should be. It's great technology.

To be honest, you're not missing much. F2B flights all look more or less the same, unless you know what to look for. It's the MODELS that are really interesting to see. And the people, if you know some of them and who they are. What _I_ would have liked were some captions telling us who we were looking at. I see someone from Germany and an Australian. And it would have been interesting to see the results - don't know who won. Are the Chinese still dominant in the sport? Haven't been following this for many years, I wonder who is new and who has dropped out at this level.

The Chinese won the team standing but Italy won first as an individual. Thanks for your input and advice on improvement. I agree with you on giving more information and will provide that in the vidoes to follow. I took around 10 thousand photos in two weeks so there is alot to go through. On top of that I just got a new computer and software up and running so the learning curve is steep. ​@@iskandartaib

To someone who doesn't fly control line these pilot videos will seem unusual. I posted these pilot videos to show what is happening inside the circle. Stance and body placement are critical to a well performed maneuver. With that being said there is still different styles of flying for each pilot. Thank you for watching

@@WinshipModels Agreed!!!!

Agreed

I am not him but reading about hot wire cutters - why I am here too. One rule of thumb I read was 30W per foot. So say 3ft would come to 90W. You van get cheap lab power sources from aliexpress etc. The one I was looking at was 30V and 10A, as power is Volts * Amps that comes to 300W ie plenty of reserve. Probably anything over 150W is plenty. Laptop power sources probably work too but you don’t get the ability to adjust per wire length. Lab power source (like looks on the video) has knobs for accurate adjustment.

@heikkianttila6296 This is great information ! Thank you for sharing. I had thought about using an HO model train controller.

​@@gibstera5580 it might work, do the math. One thing I read was the actual cutting wire should be nichrome (NiCr) it can take the heat without weakening so it lasts way better apparently. Not expensive either I sourced some for about 7$ per 15 ft. This in Europe you might find even cheaper.

Thanks for watching!

.015 they are old solid music wire flying wires for control line flying.

Thank you! ​@@WinshipModels

You bet

Thanks!

That jig was my way of brazing the horn after it was bent to an exact angle. It worked well for me. Thanks for watching and I'm looking forward to your craftsmanship.

Thanks for watching. Which products do you use and what type of parts do you make? Eventually I will get around to putting a jog at my seams as you mentioned.

I did a little research and found some of your great stuff. I didn't make the connection at first.

@@WinshipModels nice talk we had

I heard that the Johnson paste wax has been discontinued. Are there any substitutes?

Just a slide show. Getting a camera body that takes vidoes with the same lenses for this summers action. Thanks for watching though. Advice taken and agree.

Ok. I will give you your refund. Thanks for trudging through. Believe it or not I don't have a video camera yet that will take vidoes with the lenses I have. I'm planing on acquiring a camera this summer that will shoot video with a 500 f4 lens. These slide shows were posted as a learning experiance. Thank you for your feedback....well taken.

Believe it or not I don't have any video of completed models flying or at the field. I will be getting a good used canon 80d that will solve the problem. I agree it needs video clips.

You might be missing the point. The airplanes are the hobby but the people and friendships are not.
