Engine Repairs and Reconditioning
 
I will repair any two or four-stroke model engine, glow or gas. I will
also do light machine work if necessary for the repair. Such work as the
following can be done:
 
-Bearing replacement, two or four stroke.
-New piston rings, including cylinder honing.
-Removal of frozen bolts or screws without damage to the engine.
-Complete engine rebuilding to restore performance.
-Damaged engine repair.
-Machining of damaged mating parts if possible.
 
As I have to buy parts at retail just like you do, there is no markup
for parts and I will use yours if you have them (assuming they are
correct). Shipping costs for parts is also a pass-through. Bearings will
come from Boca Bearing, other parts will be ordered from the appropriate
distributor.
 
Labor for any service is $25/hr, including any cleanup necessary prior
to disassembly. A typical two-stroke bearing replacement in an otherwise
good engine will take about an hour or less, including cleaning (you can
save a buck or two by cleaning it up first), plus roughly $12 to $15 for
the bearings. If you are in a hurry I can pick them up at Boca Bearing,
but I’ll charge you $15/hr for my time. Gas is expensive these days. I
will give you a rough estimate after seeing your engine, but you don’t
always know what you’ll find until its apart. If I feel its not
repairable, or parts cost is excessive, I will not attempt the
impossible. Often its cheaper to replace than repair. You will only owe
me for my time to tear it down.
 
As to my qualifications:
Motorcycle mechanic
Foreign car mechanic
Alfa Romeo race engine builder
Prototype auto chassis fabricator
Aircraft builder and mechanic
Civil engineer
Over 50 years messing with model airplanes.

This RTF Co-Axiel helicopter has a length of 20" and a rotor diameter of 18". I bought this little heli, 3 weeks ago from XHELI. It all comes with the transmitter with 8 AA cell batteries which I bought for it, on-board Lipo battery, charger with balancer for the on-board battery and 2 new sets of rotor blades from XHELI. Training wheels are also enclosed which I also bought.
 
This little jewel works great and I have had such fun with it. I did have to adjust things abit so it would hover properly and it does now.
The manufacturer was Dynam and I bought it for $74. Will sell complete in a "Like New" condition for $49.

I am at the field most Sunday mornings from 8-11am, flying my 71" Revolver which is NOT for sale at this time. Call me if interested and I will bring this little heli to the field.

"MODEL  AIRPLANE GRAPHICS & LETTERING"
 
    That's right! Model Airplane Graphics, now available, from a member
of the Club. Experience?  I've beenbuilding model airplanes for 50 years.
I've been doing all kinds of graphics for over 40 years because I owned a
sign and graphics business. In the early days all lettering and graphic imagery
was done with paint! True, believe it or not. Today we use vinyl, and for those
gifted, in paint mediums, "masks" are available. I make and offer paint masks.
I understand the application of masks, because I'm also an Air Brush artist. 
   I've been making Model Airplane Graphics for 17 years. I also paint "Nose Art"
on leather jackets. Been doing that for over 20 years!
CFC Graphics, was first to offer over 52 different
Model Airplane Graphics sets for you to get ideas from or copy.
And they do!
CFC Graphics, was first to offer custom Brand Graphics!
Designers of the True-Turn and Brison graphics sets.
 I can do your Company also.
Scale, Warbirds and the Golden Era are my specialty,
but  can do just about anything, including creative 3D!

The Fabulous STAUDACHER S300D For Sale!
I'll tell you what this isn't. It's isn't an ARF. It's isn't a Kit, and they isn't all over the place like common ARF's!
 
What you have here is a scratched built scale model of the fabulous Staudacher S300D. Google Staudacher!!
You will be amazed at what shows up.
  This model was built from Bruce Lund's plans. It spans 82" and is 28%.  The model was built according to
Mr. Lunds plans and recommendations. No skimping, all choice woods were used, and personally selected.
The Model is excellently built and requires only covering and control surface assembly. All glass parts are made
nicely and the clear canopy is of excellent quality. Typical tube wing installation, one bolt for each wing.
 
The model was built to be light, straight, and correct. Many engine choices, but I have fitted a MOKI 1.8 or 1.2
for simple "bolt in." I have a Moki 1.8 AND a 1.2 available for purchase also! As you can see, I started covering
the model. This great Staudacher comes with a aluminum spinner, and a quality tail wheel. Plans are still like
 new and so is the construction booklet.
 
Hey! I have two of these Bruce Lund Staudachers. The second one isn't totally framed, but much is already done.
 
If anyone is interested in either model, just drop me an e-mail. I'll respond quickly! I need the money, that's why
 I'm selling. Yes, I hate to let these Staudachers go.
