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

Would something like this work for what you are trying to do? http://www.rockler.com/threaded-brass-inserts-select-size

Yes it will work just the way the wing connects to fuse makes the insert a little difficult to do but could be made to work. Just wanted to see how good you can make threads work in Bass wood.

My wife and her friend painted the cowl screws for me today while I finished the wings. All ready to maiden as soon as the flood waters recede.

I didn't work on any planes but, I did finally order a JETI DS-14 That means I will be doing work on airplanes next week sometime. After 20+ years of flying Airtronics, I have finally made the move to a different radio system. Anyone looking for a good SD-10G with 2 8 channels rx's and 2 10 channel rx's? Will make you a great deal

Holy piglets Robert. Or in this case, Holy Wild Bores. That Suk is damn fine. I immediately envisioned me stripping my Sukhoi to do a custom scheme. LOL...ha ha ha....Yeah, I don't think so. Done with recovers for awhile. At least until it's time to cover the Dalton. Your Sukhoi really turned out superb. Way to go man...way to go!!

Finished the Yak this evening. Looking for a maiden also as soon as weather permits.

No pics....but I installed the repaired bent PAU Biplane bent cabane mount. Installed the new PAU tanks in the plane with all new fuel lines. Charged the batts. Still need to install new vent caps, wheel pants, mufflers and the cowl and then she's ready to fly again. Been hanging from the rafters for just about a year so hoping to get out Saturday or Sunday.

Well seeing as how @stangflyer wasn't here to stop me, did some more baffling on the Extra. Strange things happen when you find 1/32 ply laying around. I got one side done and will make something similar for the other side when I get back to the garage again.
