    Past few weeks I have been doing a shop renovation. You can see the diseray in the first picture. This shed had a ton of old wood paneling that was warped like hell and made the shop dark and musty. Went back with OSB for most of it other than one wall that I put 3 sheets of extra drywall up...

    Next project underway. With how tight it is getting a pair of 6S packs in there to make the 12S setup I'm going to sell the XPWR setup and go with the new T-motor setup that is designed to be 6S. So anyone need a XPWR 30cc with standoffs and Castle ESC?

    Scale 112” - Taylorcraft by HeyLuc & Snoopy.

    I'm up in the air pn this for power. It's designed around a DLE55 or DA50. Sadly without a pitts style muffler lots of the cowl would need to be cut up so i'm seriously thinking of going to a 60cc electric setup.

    Scribing the elevator for where to bevel it to. Help using the small hand plane. Next pass I was told I know how and she did it on her own. She was super excited here that we got to pull out all of the pins and remove it from the build surface. She also found it fun to just pull the pins out...
