Any chance you could or have done a video on making firewalls? Specifically around 3/32 balsa using a dremel tool. I have a dremel tool as well and would love an education on making firewalls for Foamboard airplanes. Cutting them out…drilling/rostering out cooling holes…things like that. 3 inch x 3 in would be a nice size that cooling openings might be easier to demonstrate. I know … I am maybe overstepping my boundaries as a viewer. Just an idea for a future video. Thanks for doing one on bending landing gear wire. Mike
Thanks for the lesson Mr McKay! Glad I found your channel. Last week I bit the bullet and bought a Spektrum NX10. I'm. Keeping my 7 year old Futaba T9CAP FAAST because it works just fine. But, I'm building a T45 turbine. That's what the Spektrum is for. They say the difference between a man and a boy is the price of his toys. How true. At 68, I never want to exit this hobby. It's just too enjoyable.
Bill: No worries, and thanks again for checking in! I really like my Spektrum equipment a lot, to include AR620 6 channel receiver with internal antenna. 67 years old this end! 😊 Tim
I'd recommend trying a pair of Knipex 71 12 200 cutters for that wire. I use them on all kinds of metal fence wire as well as aircraft cable. The largest cable I work with is 1/8 and it's no problem. So, too, for barbed wire and such.
Tim, if you wanted to put a full loop in the wire, like to add a spring to your landing gear, will it let you do that, or does the retaining pin get in the way too much?
KF: This bender will not allow for a landing gear spring, not long enough. In UA-cam, search for "winding a torsion spring" and you can see how it is done. Tim
High there Tim. I've been watching you and learning from you for a while now and have a question. I got a micro "brick" and the tiny lipo batteries and micro motor. But the motor has a really tiny 2 pin lead and I can't seem to find the connectors small enough to integrate it into the brick. Got it a on Amazon...but where can I get the connector? Help. Please! Any suggestions? You struggling pal, George.
George: The motor has a little 2 pin connector. Just search around the brick, there should be a female receptacle for the motor pins, will be along the brick edge. Tim
Awesome wire bending video.
Thank you Tim.
Michael: Glad you enjoyed it! Tim

@@Yankee2003 Mike: Great idea on the firewall, will add this to the list! Tim
Awesome educational video. One in a million on youtube nowadays.
Thanks! Tim

Excellent "How To" not too fast or slow and great tip about using coat hanger wire to practice. Going to make my own wire bending jig.
Glad it was helpful! Tim
Hi Tim, I bought it after watching this video and have just used it for the first time. What an excellent tool! Regards.
Greg: Great news, thanks! Tim
This is such a great channel. Thank you, Tim.
Grotrian: Glad you enjoy it, thanks for checking in! Tim
Thank you for the vid, super informative!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I like the idea of practicing with a coat hanger.
👍🏻 Tim
I like it. I usually use a vise and vise grips, but never get the bracket quite flat or symmetrical. I think this tool will really help with that.
Mike: Yes, having the right tools makes the building much more fun. Good luck! Tim
Thanks Tim for sharing! I've learnt a lot from your videos :)

Where do I buy that wire I can’t find anything that small anywhere?
Just do a Google search, or go to www.TowerHobbies.com Tim
Can you suggest me size of bar for mini project of house (rebars)
Ken: Not sure on this. Tim
