The Sliver - a TD .020 Project

Goodness, Brad! Your attention to the smallest of details is amazing and apparently effective, but I have to wonder how you are able to sleep at night in this world that is far from perfect. As much as I love this hobby, my building and flying skills are far below the standards of folks like yourself. I tend to get 'em together just good "enough" and fly them around as best and as often as I sloppily can. I DO enjoy your feedback on my projects and have learned some new techniques from it, so please keep it up. Just realize that my model projects would never pass muster in your shop. They fly around(but not too smooth or fast) and sometimes get crashed and field-repaired with ugly and heavy glue joints so they can be flown again that day. Where your little planes are organized, sleek, and well engineered, mine are more clumsy and comical and become battle-weary over time.

With all that said, I do really like your suggestion of using the tapped TD .010 spinner. I have seen the movement in my .020 spinners and always just accepted it in the past. I will search online for some hex 3-48x.75" hex bolts and a tap.
