[NSRCA-discussion] Brio Hinges

Hey!!!

I just knew all you Atwood guys would speak up!!  Hehehheh…..

Chris, I think the Cox TD .049’s had more suds than the Shriek but the
Cox’s were about 10 years later according to Bill Atwood’s bio.

Leroy Cox hired Atwood to design the TD series so that’s probably why they
are/were so good.

The Shriek seemed to run best on Cox red can or O&R Gold Seal fuel with a
Kay Sun 5.2 x 4 plastic prop. There was some guy around here making a fuel
called “This is It”. It was brown and smelled like shoe polish and came in
a (shudder) glass jar. If you spilled a little on your finger, 2 days later
you grew a 3rd eyeball!!

I haven’t tried a Norvell but they look nice. Really, I prefer the radial
mount like the Atwood series of engines because they are lighter, smaller
and easier to mount. This isn’t a problem with profile style models but the
square fuse models like the Snapper would have to be widened slightly in the
firewall area.

My experience with Atwoods was with C/L not R/C….this was so long ago that
R/C was really free flight sometimes interrupted by radio.

Hey Bob,
I Aero-glossed mine….(orange…best flying ∏ A stunter I had flown…) but
you should have seen me doing a “Lil Satan” in transparent blue monokote
for my cousin:-)
Oh, the smells of Aero-Gloss….God only knows how many brain-cells I paid
for that experience:-)

Reminds me of the first time I used Monokote. I was attempting to cover a
Goldberg Li'l Jumpin Bean. My Mom's iron was almost as big as the plane!!!



IIRC, the instructions said to set the iron for "permanent press". :-)



Back then (1969??) the Monokote instructions actually showed a regular iron.



Solarfilm was a lot easier to use, but did not add much stiffness to a wing.

monokote a corner properly,
before we figured out that working with a clothes iron would build strong
muscles!
Seems she was frustrated watching us mess up.

I was around then. Didn't invent It though. I did get chewed out for using
my wife's iron to apply Mono-Cote and Cover All.
