First of all thanks for the invite Don!   So how does one go about finding replacement vac molded parts for a discontinued airplane? I recently bought an old Dynam PBY Catalina that was assembled but only hung up in a store window. Do to sun exposure over the years the engine nacelles have become brittle and cracked and clear plastic parts have become yellowed. I was able to find replacement nacelles but none of the clear parts. Does anyone have a lead on the vac formed clear plastic parts for a Dynam PBY Catalina? Thanks! |

doubt you'll find anything nowadays. Maybe contact Dynam directly and see if they have any laying around. Worth a shot.

Grayson Hobby has a bunch of Dynam parts for sale. Wonder if they have something you can use Greg?

Hey GregG!
I recall you having that fast World Models Sky Raider Models MACH-II (your Avitar was known as SPEED DEMON) and that Video you posted of it was pretty neat (several years ago!!)
Even though the Video is no longer available, there is one picture I captured from this thread:

Ah yes I remember that one and I remember you Guapoman2000! Is your name Carlos?
I no longer have the Mach II, bummer really as it was a great everyday flyer. That video was lost along with a bunch of others I kept in a folder on our club website as I was the administrator at the time. That was back when the clubs got free web space from RC Groups. Once they stopped all of that I lost a bunch of photos/videos of airplane shenanigans.
I haven't been flying much in the past year since my wife passed away. Too many more important things to take care of nowadays. Anyway, good to hear from you!
