GPMR6002 Thin Pro CA 1 oz.
GPMR6008 Medium Pro CA+ 1 oz.
GPMR6045 Pro 6-Minute Epoxy 9 oz.

High-quality Pro Adhesives provide
model building’s best bonds...and a
“Best If Used By” date on the label for
visible proof of freshness! Thin-
formula Pro CA offers instant bonds,
curing in just 1-3 seconds – it’s ideal for most assembly
needs. Medium CA+ is an excellent gap filler that cures in
10-15 seconds for a little more positioning time. The
uniquely precise cure time of Pro 6-Minute Epoxy allows
you to continue building with the confidence that epoxied
parts won’t be accidentally bumped out of alignment.

These pliers automatically locate the precise Z-bend point
for maximum servo arm performance – and they’re so easy
to use, even inexperienced modelers can make perfect 
Z-bends in minutes. Just insert the pliers’ alignment pin into
the servo horn hole that your pushrod will be connected to,
and lightly hold the music wire where the bend will be
placed. Remove the pliers from the servo horn, squeeze the
handles, and make the bend...exactly where you need it!
Works with wire up to 1/16" in diameter.

This standard servo with preinstalled, round servo horn is
ideal for car, boat and other applications. It comes with “J”
connector on a 5 in. lead and hardware, including four brass
eyelets, four rubber grommets, four mounting screws, and
large and small “X” horns. Speed: 0.23 sec/60 degrees
(4.8V). Torque: 44.4 oz-in (4.8V). Weight: 1.31 oz [37.2g].
Dimensions: 1.59 x 0.78 x 1.42 in [40.4 x 19.8 x 36mm].

Every flier needs this ingenious tool! For optimum
performance – or to achieve specific flight characteristics –
every plane must be balanced correctly. Yet checking the
balance in the “traditional” way (by hand) has always been
difficult and imprecise. The C.G. Machine makes balancing
easy and exact: Its slanted wire balancing posts accept any
plane up to 40 lb...built-in rulers position it exactly at the
recommended center of gravity. There’s no guesswork!
