Re: undercarriage compression rubbers
I paid about £32+VAT per 300mm length from Direct Plastics so pretty good value I thought. I did consider making them myself ( they are cast from a two part liquid polyurethane) but the bandsaw technique seemed to work well enough. You can buy Durometers pretty cheaply which would allow you to test ...

Re: undercarriage compression rubbers
I've had some polyurethane rubber rods made with 55 Shore hardness (as spec) for my Menestrel project. 40mm dia x 300mm long then sliced up on a bandsaw into blocks and through drilled 8mm for the locating pins. We're a while away from trying them out though!

Revmaster hub puller
Does anyone have a hub puller tool for the Revmaster 2100D engine that I could borrow. The tool itself is not too expensive but the postage from the US is extortionate!

Re: 'Airdrome Aeroplanes' (USA)
Hi Nigel, One thing to consider if getting involved in your local strut. You'll meet like-minded people at strut meetings and be able to bounce ideas around with other folks who have likely been down the same road. I am the coordinator of the East Midlands strut so do contact me if you are in the So...

Re: 'Airdrome Aeroplanes' (USA)
The Nicollier Menestrel HN700 is another design to consider. VW powered and no too dissimilar to the D18 in build complexity and performance. There are a few of us building and you will probably see a few at the Rally as well.

Re: EAA Solidworks member benefit
For basic 2D work, I have been using Dassault's DraftSight quite successfully, it has certainly done all I wanted for creating waterjet patterns and full size ribs etc. on my Menestrel project (albeit in multiple A3 sheets as I don't have easy access to a plotter). I tend to use Sketchup for my 3D p...
