Chip commented on ionut's blog post Biggest UAV to date-Russian Buran
"I believe the point of the post was to bring up the fact that the Buran was the largest UAV, I would say the X-37 is a UAV.. Just not the largest."

Chip commented on ionut's blog post Biggest UAV to date-Russian Buran
"The X-37 is not nearly as big as the Buran and Space Shuttle Orbiter.. But the Russians pulled off a fully autonomous flight, while our orbiter has never been flown without a human pilot."

Chip commented on Michael Smith's blog post Choose your equipment carefully.
"I try to stick with name brands, even if it costs a little more you can generally rely on them. I have enough problems, I don't need a radio/esc/servo failure to throw off the troubleshooting process."

I've seen a few interesting posts about people who have remolded the EasyStar and made their own fuselages and such, but I'm clueless as to how. I've done some searches but I don't think I'm looking for the right terms... So, how do you make your molds? I understand carbon fiber and fiberglassing techniques, but it's the molding process that I'm clueless about. Any hints?
