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

[combat chicken]

I thought you bought a plane last year LOL I have an Issue of buying a spare and next thing you know my debit card jumps online and orders the motor servos and other goodies so I end up building the damn thing... Humm does any one have a support group for this issue yet?

I've put this one off due to funds as in lack of. It will be a slow assembly in I'm buying stuff when the budget allows and sales occur.

Half the guys I know wouldn't miss the rudder one bit.

Sad to say but, I used my rudder very little UNTIL I started flying IMAC. Now I am VERY familiar with the rudder and glad I setup the servos I did for it

I know that feeling Want a Jeti DS-14 but, have to wait until I can sell some stuff or the mowing and umpiring season get here so I can replenish the hobby fund. My "new to me" 330LX, DLE170 and RE3's pretty much tapped that account and then some!

After I got the 330LX I had to remove some stickers from the wings and it had tore the black off part of this wing so, last night I decided to replace that piece. Now both wings match again I know the curves aren't perfect but, in the air, who will know It looks a lot better then when it was missing.

At the club I was in when I first started in 85 most of the members couldn't make a right turn, much less use the rudder. You could fly around yourself there so it looked like a stock car race with everyone flying a left turn oval pattern.

Still guys at my field like that. Will only fly in one direction and can't take off or land if the wind is blowing the opposite direction down the runway.

I landed a 30%er one time with the rudder hanging by the push/pull linkage, along with a partially damaged elevator

Contractor eliminating a wall and adding a header today. Combining 2 rooms is going to make for a nice sized building facility.

I had a rudder cable come apart when I was flying a friends DA200 powered Carf Sukhoi. I did a Poptop with left rudder and it did it really cool so I tried to do another and it wouldn't do it. I made a right rudder knife edge pass across the field and then handed him the transmitter. He landed, and when he went to taxi back it wouldn't turn left. We he got it back, one rudder cable was trailing behind it. He should have known better than to hand me the transmitter.
