The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

Didn't get much done today....fixed some holes in my buddies firewall (P-51 engine swap) and looked most of the day for my smoke pump - which is not to be found! Any recommendations for one?

Road trip in the morning! Going to go get some planes so my shop has something to do....Looking like a repair and detail job on a 1/4 scale cub. And then a strip naked to the bones, repair and recover a GP Ultimate 160. Thanks @acerc for the donation. Shop will be .
Thinking about a VVRC 40 twin for the Ultimate. Cub going to get scaled up a bit with pull pull elevators and rudder with detailed cockpit and of course the scale cub gear I pulled from the recycle bin. Better get to .

You will love the 40 twin. I sure love mine.

The glass method you explained in the video. Thanks for that very well done . One question the paper you were working on between the glass and the covering what type of paper is that it did not stick to the covering.

Hi @Rusty 73 how are you doing have not heard from you in quite a while hope you are building something this winter.

Hey Snoopy1, I think the paper is under the glass.

Yes paper is under the glass. Just there as a guide in laying out the paper. All it is is butcher paper.

Sorry Bud, went to get the Ultimate out of the shed and just could not let it go. That Bipe has been my beater plane for years, I may recover it this summer for a new look. Maybe that MXS scheme that I like so much or similar. Enjoy the Cub though!!! Nice meeting you and the little one.

Robert it was a pleasure meeting you. Wish I could have spent more time with you but the "little one" had caught an infection and I was able to get back in time for the Vet to give him some antibiotics. Home now and I have been ooh and ahhing your cub. I still can't believe you parted with it for NOTHING! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! As far as the Ultimate.........What Ultimate??? lol
The detail in the cub is awesome my friend. Won't take much or very long to have it doing one wheel touch and go's. I have had big cubs before but not with this much detail. Again "Thank You" my good GSN friend
