I had been away from aviation for a while and my divorce was just final. Went to see Top Gun and started looking for an airplane to buy the very next day. Bought a Cherokee 140 a few days later. That's a true story. Don Smythe Classic IV w/582 Newport News, Va.

I am not the only guy on the planet who holds a torch for "Flight Of The Phoenix"! As a life-time model aircraft builder, I like the "aircraft engineer's" lines when he is discovered to be a model aircraft builder. He defends his craft by pointing out that the model aircraft must be built to exacting standards because it does not have the luxury of a pilot to add corrective control input and counteract a warped wing.

I tried at least 5 irons, some quite high priced, before I found one that held calibration well. Two years ago, the best iron I found was a Sunbeam Model 3980, which held calibration within PolyFiber's requirements. It was also the cheapest at about $12 from Walmart. For the tighter areas, I use a Coverite Black Baron Iron (I think you can get this at Aircraft Spruce). The Black Baron maintains a very accurate temperature. When you are calibrating the iron, make sure you let it go through a few heating cycles before you check the temperature. The first couple of times the thermostat turns on and off it will overshoot.
