    Best vehicle to transport Giant Scale

    Minivans and Tahoe, Suburban, Extended Expeditions are the best choices. I have not found much of anything else that you don't have to take the plane apart more to fit it in.

    So the issue is that I used a small piece of OSB as my spacer for the ceiling joists. Basically the side walls have a 2x6 that the OSB was going to lay on and then this in turn would make the OSB flush with the trusses. Hence I painted the bottom of the trusses black so I would have a black...

    Well I got 95% of the joists hung. About a 15 ft section left!!!!. Also after much deliberation and moving 25 sheets of 7/16 OSB.....I decided it is just too heavy for the ceiling. So I took it back to HD and got 5mm flooring sheets. (Basically thin plywood). I started painting it too. It...

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

    Well I hung like a million joists in my shop. On the back wall you'll notice 5 that look different. These were designed to attach my bike hoists that lift my planes off the ground

    The back wall was harder than I thought. I didn't plan it as well as I should have. The same will be the front wall as well.

    Well I never really did alot of planning on the ceiling other than looking at it from the ground. Well while I was painting I took a piece of scrap and put it up there to test fit my plan............that didn't go well. Quickly realized that 3 of my trusses are going to show based on how I'm...

    Can you believe this guy?

    All that experience and they couldn't get out of the way for 30 secs to let someone land? Give me a break! I wasn't there so I'm not taking sides........but if I had a spotter and there was an issue like this, I'd tell my spotter to walk over and tell the Yahoos (sponsored, RC gods, or...

    Can you believe this guy?

    well we have one side of the story..........its very compelling that they were at fault for flying 3D on the electric line that is prohibited. Can't pass any judgment though without the other side of the story. Again........another reason Nall isn't for me, even as a spectator. Too many...

    3D Viper ST build continued part 2

    When I built my Edge (years ago)......I inset my canopy into the turtle deck and the back side. This way the canopy was flush. That was a PITA to get everything smooth but it looked great.
