So all the cool IOM kids seem to have nice wooden boxes to store their rigs in. This might be my next quick project then, so that I can pretend to be cool too. :-P The rig box images that I've seen online are mostly similar, and would work well, but David Jensen from Bellevue, WA, USA (The same guy who designed a fantastic IOM boat stand I posted about earlier) has a really nice design that he shared on RC Groups . Or if that link doesn't work, the go here and search for " IOM sail box " or " IOM rig box ". It holds three sets of rigs for the A, B, and C rigs. He also has a nifty way to attach his IOM boat stand, with a boat on it, to the rig box. His rig box has wheels attached, so once everything is loaded up he just wheels it to the launch spot. Very nice! There are other sources online. They show different variations of the same type of sail box. Here's a nice looking one . Here's a YouTube video of a really nice one . Wil
Hi Steve, couldn't help but notice the Monocote sealing iron on your workbench,what might have you used it for?? Also what weight F.glass cloth did you use to seal up deck/hull?? This model is really turning out quite nicely,you are quite meticulous,stunning work !!
ReplyDeleteI'm slowly building a 1/6 scale Sopwith Camel, but it'll probably be my only airplane. I'm using 1.4oz. fiberglass from ACP Composites. It's nice stuff. Thanks for the comments!
