BOJO TOOLS 3-PIECE O-RING PICK TOOL KIT
New Products That Are Worth a Closer Look
BOJO TOOLS began in San Jose, California, approximately 25 years ago. The company focuses on the design and manufacturing of composite plastic tools, including scrapers, prying tools, sealant application, removal tools, and other specialty tools. All Bojo Tools products are designed and manufactured in the USA.
Bojo Tools has had many full-scale aircraft companies, the military, and other businesses as customers. One of its goals is to make products with a focus on reducing damage to equipment or components.
If you are using O-rings on your aircraft, the 3-Piece O-Ring Pick Tool Kit in Pouch is quite handy. The pouch helps keep the ergonomically-designed tools together. The tools are rounded at the rear but flat in the middle, which keeps them from rolling off of your workspace. Being made of composite materials, it is clear that they should likely last a long time.
The 3-Piece O-Ring Pick Tool Kit in Pouch (ORT2-3KIT3-XNGL) is priced at $10.95 on the company’s website. Bojo Tools provides a 30-day, 100% money-back guarantee for any reason, covering the cost of the product and even the return shipping.

Northrop X4 Bantam 15.75-Inch Wingspan @ $19.99 + S&H from Aspect Laser
Tel: (248) 707-4430;
website: www.aspectlaser.com
The Northrop X4 Bantam 15.75-inch wingspan balsa Catapult Glider was designed and laser-cut by John Hoover at Aspect Laser. Balsa Catapult Gliders are simple to build and a blast to fly, providing lots of action and getting a new modeler in the air quickly.
The builder will need a small bottle of medium CA glue and Titebond—that’s it! Young fliers can build them with a little help and be flying within an hour. Who knows where it could lead? Many astronauts started with flying model gliders. This kit is intermediate skill level and requires some previous building experience.
Aspect Laser has many designs that are based mostly on early jets. This is one of many that will be released throughout the coming year and beyond. Visit the Aspect Laser website for glue, covering, and hobby tools for good flights!
Cranky Cockpit Club 3D-Printed Pilots @ $8.95 - $28.95 + S&H from Old School Model Works
Tel: (513) 755-7494;
website: www.oldschoolmodels.com
It’s time to give your cockpit a serious upgrade! Whether you need to find a fearless flier for your nimble .20-size model or finish your majestic 1/4-scale masterpiece, Old School Model Works has the perfect pilot bust that is ready for takeoff!
The company has added four pilots to the Cranky Cockpit Club. Average Joe is a no-frills, no flash, clean-cut, composed, and classic sport pilot featuring a flying cap, goggles, jacket, and tie. Max Smiles looks like a standard sport pilot, but his signature grin sets him apart. He features a flying cap, goggles, jacket, and shirt. Bluster doesn’t waste words or airtime—he’s all grit and throttle and laser-focused on the objective. He features a flying jacket, tie, and a detailed cap with earphones and goggles. Lastly, Psycho Pete is capable of anything—except being normal. He might hold the record for inverted flat spins in his flying jacket, shirt, tie, and modified flying cap with goggles.
All pilots are 3D-printed in-house and made from flesh-toned, UV-resistant polyethylene terephthalate glycol (PETG) filament. Built to handle the sun, wind, and wild aerial adventures, they are printed in ultra-thin layers to lock in crisp details and to keep them feather-light with minimal infill.
Available in six sizes to fit aircraft from 1/8 to 1/3 scale, pilots arrive unpainted for customization with your choice of enamel or acrylic paints.
