    Scale RCM 1/3 Scale Champ Build

    I actually switched to high rates landings in the last 2 years or 2. A better pilot recommended it and it stuck with me.l

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

    Going to try to bolt/weld a wench to my mini excavator so as to back it down a steep hill. I started with drilling out a piece of steel plate to bolt to a new 12,000 wench. I might weld the plate to the excavator push blade and cut it off later.

    Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

    Took my lazy butt to my hobby room and forced myself to get back to this build. In my defense I am spending a lot of weekend time at my shop recently. Aileron control arms are raised/reset and the Hysol is drying. Covering should resume this week.

    Scale RCM 1/3 Scale Champ Build

    I grew up on a farm in rural Texas, 4x4 was a way of life. Our goal in high school was to have a truck so muddy that there was no clue as to what color it was. Nice to have if you need it.

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

    Let me know, I have 60/61 sized engines by the dozens. Jett, YS, Novarossi, OS, OPS. Short stroke, long stroke, ducted fan. That SF is a pattern type engine and tops out at 12K (?) rpm. Something in the 18K rpm is better suited for that speed demon.

    Scale RCM 1/3 Scale Champ Build

    I saw no need to trade it in so I kept it. I use it for towing occasionally, Lowe’s trips, etc, a 4x4 F350 4 door long bed is a great tool.

    Scale RCM 1/3 Scale Champ Build

    My Expedition is in for service so I switched to my mostly retired ‘03 F350 Superduty. Recent engine work (injectors, EGR valve, etc) has woken it up and it now has excessive horsepower. I’m having a blast zipping around in the 23’ long, 9,000 lb beast. One of my best vehicle purchases ever...

    The Kadet was my first plane (‘82). Bill Cunningham maidened it and handed it off to me after trimming. I was shaking like a leaf. I still remember all these years later.
