Magnet repair

Talking with Andrzej about guitar building gave me an idea to help keep wetted glass cloth up close and personal to what it should be adhering to. It's a bit fiddly but worked really well and is better for your breath than blowing up condoms!

There are probably numerous variations on this theme that people are already using but I thought I'd share as it's a useful tool to have up your sleeve in certain situations.

Viper update

The first fuz is out of the mould and the pink is shocking - fantastic!
The tail is done.
The wing moulds are almost finished.
The pink colour scheme is sketched out :-)
Have a look at the photos below and visit the TecnoEpoxy website for more info.

One of the most active and fun blogs I've seen in a while.

Vendetta

Here's a interesting thing... Inigo Herrera has produced the Vendetta as a personal project but is prepared to produce a couple to recoupe some of the cost.

The Vendetta can in many ways be considered a prototype for the Viper. Inigo has done a very good job of building them and the quality is excellent. In the air it is equally impressive, with good straight line speed, excellent cornering and great energy retention. It has fuselage and wing ballast and is capable of carrying over 2kg of ballast.

Some really good information and photos from Inigo are here.

If you're interested in acquiring one at a very reasonable price contact Inigo.
