Scratch building a Ryan’s Rebel stick style R/C airplane:


Episode 14,  A little review of my building bench. While I clear the bench to start working on the second part of the tail feathers, I'll show you around a little.  This bench has birthed a lot of planes and a lot.of repairs as well. I had a viewer ask about the magnet building system I use, and I hope I answer some of your questions you may have.  It's a great system that I feel makes my work faster and straighter built.
