Runout Heli by
H.J.
When a heli is "runout" but still in "great condition" with about 6-8000 hrs
TTAF and low priced, what exactly does that mean? Is it just an older ship
that passed some manufacturer's recommended 'expiration date'? Is it a
federal expiration date? Is it still flyable? Is it ok to use for parts...

part numbers are...

rivet and dimple paint prep by
Dick
My recently acquired 30+ year old project restoration
had some "powder" under the paint at the rivet/dimples
on the fuselage. I believe it was old body putty.
What "filler" can be recommended for smoothing over the rivet/dimple prior
to repriming/repainting?
Thanks, Dick
