 | BRASS TUBING
File teeth shaped notches in one end of a piece of brass tubing and it becomes a
very effective hole saw. The correct size will put perfect holes in bulkheads for push rod
material. A 1/4" I.D. tube will drill out broken dowels from wing leading edges
making a difficult repair easier.
SANDING DISC'S
The rotating sanding wheel causes the sand paper
to "lift away" from the disc. A small aerosol can of 3M contact cement
will solve this problem. Just Spray your wheel and the back of the sanding disk with a
fine mist, allow to get tacky and install in the usual manner pressing the disk against
the wheel firmly.
SCRAP ALUMINUMSCRAP
ALUMINUM
They are simply pieces of scrap aluminum angle iron
cut to various links and of various sizes. I find that a selection of 1", 2",
and 3" pieces varying in length from 1" to 6" to be quite helpful, and
these can be obtained at a metal supply shop. If you have a metal fabricator near you, you
might try asking him to sell you some scraps of angle about these sizes. Since these
lengths are considered trash to these fellows, you may get lucky and get them for free.
Well, Here are a few of the things I use them for, and I 'm sure you can come up with more
once you start using them. First off, this is a great way to align the table on disk/belt
sanders, drill presses, band saws, etc. You can use them to hold items to be glued or
drilled exactly perpendicular to the work surface, such as drilling into the edge of
sheeting, or holding ribs at 90 degrees to the table while your adhesive dries.
SOCKET HEAD CAP
SCREWS
You can get as much torque as you need
on the fastener without breaking the screw slot. You can really torque down on the
fastener without fear of the driver slipping and going through the entire structure, or
sliding across that perfect finish you just applied. The socket head fastener is also the
easiest to get to at remote, confined or long distance locations. For long distances, you
can make a long distance tool by soldering an allen wrench into a long piece of brass
tubing. Try using 2-56 socket head screws for your control horns on all flying surfaces
and you will find that you can tighten them down without fear of punching a hole through
the structure.

| TRANSMITTER CASES
You can make a good transmitter case by using a
plastic or composite brief case.They will easily hold two transmitters. The next
problem is to get the foam rubber cut out to the shapes you need to fit the brief case and
the transmitters. You can make a good transmitter case by using a plastic or

Use an electric carving knife. It will save those tiny transmitter rate switches.
