HAND-CRANK SPEED WINDERS Our Speed Winders make winding rubber motors on our airplanes fast and easy. These labor saving tools wind 5, 10, or 15 revolutions on the motor for every 1 handcranked turn. Requires 3 hands (i.e., you need a partner to hold the model). To use, unhook the motor from the rear motor hook, |
|
stretch the motor,
and walk in toward the plane while winding, then re-attach the motor. |

Use our 15:1 and new 10:1 Rubber Winders for no-fuss, no-nonsense fast winding for competition events. These are absolutely
necessary for the Cruiser or Sorcerer models (they require 1500 - 2000 winds). You cannot
hand-wind these models, and the 5:1 is too slow. We have reduced the prices on these high-speed winders from
$25.95.

Builders' Supplies Grip Pins - a real necessity! More expensive than T-pins but sharper and much easier to use. These make the job easier, produce better quality work. Two structure sides can be duplicated, one one top of the other with wax paper in between, for symmetric structure precision. Also provides light clamping pressure for setting glue joints at any angle. Use the pin shoulders to hold the work, or pin through a piece of scrap used to press the work to the workboard. Gentle side pressure can be applied to keep joints in place while drying, and cambered ribs can be held vertical with 1 or 2 pins on each side of the rib. Note: Use very light pressure on balsa parts and do not pin through balsa on Cruiser or Sorcerer models! Weighting the parts with 1/2" washers is the preferred method of Ray Harlan, designer of the Cruiser. We still think grip pins are better if correctly used. We suggest using an accurately flat, sufficiently large, soft balsa or pine board or piece of 3/4" softwood plywood, clean, flat heavyweight corrugated boxboard, 2'x2' ceiling tile, or dense insulation foam board as a construction surface for use with these pins. Cover work surface with wax paper to permit easy removal of finished assemblies. #587 - Grip Pins . . . . . . . . . . . . .$6.50 (Box of 50 pins) 
Ambroid Cement We also recommend a similar cellulosic solvent-based glue, that old standby Mylar Film Balsa
