I wonder if FLY offers the Sikorsky version? They dont but i did conversion to use on the fly model.

harv Posted September 11, 2021 Author Share Posted September 11, 2021 First cut is the deepest..... I've made a start of it. Big question. I need suggestions on what saws to use cutting this out. I used to have small Radu's saws but used them all up. What do you all use ?......harv 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shark64 Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Harv. You can use small saws from hasegawa, they have a great set. You need to set up a guide for the saws to follow since saws have a tendency to take the path of least resistance. I use a bendable metal ruler taped to the fuselage for mine. Dont rush the sawing, this area is super delicate. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Harv, I have the JLC saw and I think it's very similar to the Radu ones. http://umm-usa.com/onlinestore/product_info.php?cPath=21_28&products_id=35 They sell spare blades too. You could also just use a scriber and keep making light passes until it cuts through the plastic. Carl 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpools Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Harv For fine cuts, I use the CMK saw Blades: https://spruebrothers.com/cmkh1000-cmk-tools-ultra-smooth-extra-smooth-saw-h1000/ Keep 'em comin Peter 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl scriber won't work for this, plastic is too thick and the area to be cut is too fragile because of the tight area ,there is also a chance of slippage and scratching surrounding area. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
