fuzzilating (fuzz'-il-at-ing) v. 1. The infuriating act of cut paper (especially card stock or model rocket kraft paper body tube) to raise a nap (or to fuzz) when painted if not properly pretreated, causing the modeler to use naughty words. 2. Two or more Michigan State Troopers eating donuts at a Tim Horton's.

Thanks.


I found that Centuri called them "Motor Strengthening Bands", but haven't been able to confirm that is the proper name for it.

I did find a video showing the assembly and launch of a real HoJo.

The narrator sounds like Jules Bergman, anchorman for ABC. He is most remembered for his coverage of the American space program.

You can shave really thin amounts of wood off or cut larger thicknesses for rough cutting the part.

It came in today! I can't wait to try it and learn a new technique!

(I hope "The Vixen" remembers how to stop the bleeding.)

I'm positive you are going to love it. Adjust it to take very little wood off. You can get slices off that you can see through. I adjust it to take thicker slices when I'm working on large pieces of wood which a rocket fin doesn't fall under in my opinion.

I can echo that opinion. I've been using mine for a number of years now, and I haven't found a better plane for precision work. A great tool. Best of luck with yours.

Would that be an effective tool for beveling plywood fins?
