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

The ability to watch it progress and unfold as I build it.

Funder and Lightning

Similar but it's actually one a probro buddy designed and sent me a short kit. He flew his with a pair of blue wonder 1300 KV outrunners.

Okay finally made some more progress in finishing my shop. Finished up the walls this past weekend and painted the window trim. Picked up base cabinets this past week. Just need to finish them to match the upper cabinets that I already have. Once they are installed I can start setting up shelving and hopefully start moving in.

Ok is that shop just to build planes how big is it. Man that looks good you can almost fly a ultralight in there.

Had to replace the drive belt on the mower today. While doing it I said hell I will pressure wash the deck and get it all clean. Found a bunch of cracks in it as well as some rust holes that had gotten worse. Welded up the cracks. Gonna grab some scrap sheet metal and patch the bigger holes and then paint it all with a rust prohibiting paint tomorrow when I get home from work. We will see how that goes.

Lawn mowers are great fun aren't they? Here is a pic of my brothers Zero Turn last weekend.

I hate grass! But, I hate what I'm doing tonight even more........ Taxes YUK!!!!!

Looks like you guys get your moneys' worth out of those zero turns. As much attention as mine gets they should be called.....

Zero Returns .

The experiment of epoxying old bolt holes in cf gear was a success! Also got the cf spinner from Bill Hempel a day early so installed it also. As long as mother nature agrees, may be testing the new prop today after work The stand from @Terryscustom has definitely been getting used!

The shop is 30' X 60' with 12' walls and mainly for my airplanes and related equipment.

Luv a HUGE shop! but my hole in the wall and 3rd bed room will have to do. Besides CHEAP is CHEAP right!?

Did manage to finally get a motor prop combo to work well on 4s lipos....Only took purchasing 3 motors and 5 props.

And I managed to destroy 3 of the 5 props.

So......My CHEAP Sbach now sports a G32 600 outrunner (very much like the E-flight power 32). The NTM 42-38 750 would not turn a 16x8 safely and the NTM 42-58 500 was too much motor for the application. Still have to re configure the rpm and temp sensors for the new motor but running it and allowing it to hover the plane while I held it showed the performance I was looking for .

No it will be a new Tipo 750 build. I want to try it on 6S, but will probably go to 8S just to get the performance I want. If it doesn't scream by like a Banshee it's just not classic pattern.

Sorry, I now see helicopter 'motor' instead of engine. Just assumed engine due to classic pattern in general. Good to have a couple of other old pattern fans on this forum.
