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

Four safe 10 min flights sounds pretty good to me on two 1300-1600 2s Lipos!

Picked up a freebe last night. Was crashed the other day at our fun fly. All it needs is a new firewall and the landing gear mount repaired along with cowl and clear windshield. Think I'm gonna completely strip it though as the covering is pretty tired. It's a world models 1/4 scale clipped wing cub. I'm thinking it needs big ole tundra tires as well.

With your building skills, I can see some custom mods come into play

Man we have a person at our field just loves to bringing a smashed plane back to life. That is one thing I do not like doing love to build and at times scratch build but repairing smashed planes no matter how miner I just do not like doing it. I will do my best to convince my self that it should be scrapped and a new one is required

Working on my Precision Aerobatics Extra MX tonight. Had this plane for 4 or 5 years and I've never gotten around to flying it. That's going to change soon!

Oh and, Happy Halloween Witches!

You too!


I had that same exact plane (same green white black scheme). Flies awesome! Ran 2 2200 3S packs in series with it to keep it light and got 6-7 minute flight times w 14x7 prop. Plane met its demise in a most unusual way.......Wile driving home in my Ford "Ranger Danger" a delivery truck blew past me and literally "sucked" the fuse out of the back bed. Just as I saw the fuse hit the road in my rear view an oncoming car finished it off. True Story!

One of fellows always brought his planes to the field in an open pickup truck. And twice the plane was sucked out and badly damaged. From that time on he got a blanket and covered the plane with the blanket and then laid four bricks on the four corners and he has never had a problem again and does work well.
