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

    Got the access cover finished. Also made a better antenna guide. Have a Scale Fly-in coming up this weekend. It should ride just fine with no paint on the bottom. "Work in progress" as are many others at events such as this :rolleyes:.

    I would think it needs an engine in the 85-100cc range.

    VERY nice! I love that H9 Cap. Had one until I did not have it anymore :(. As in "did not have control :ooh?:" That was some time ago ( 16+ years ).

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

    I have really been enjoying restoring and adding more scale details to this Iconic kit. Still can't thank you enough ;). As a token of my appreciation I let a "familiar picture" display on the iX12.

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

    Got the opening on the bottom of the Cub all squared up and forward and rear flanges installed. Now getting the 1/16th ply cover made. Once everything is fitted and in place I am going to paint the entire underside including the stabs. I will also paint the front of the plane that is all yellow...

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

    After getting all caught up in here I feel my 50cc inspiration has been justly recognized :D. Still going to get the GP 76 and an Edge 540 to bolt it to :). Got a buddy flying one in a Mamba. Awesome engine. Right now focused on 35cc's. Had it out in the yard playing with the fuse while I get...

    Got out this Sunday afternoon for some EDF Jet fun and QQ300 fun. My new pal Richard coming along nicely with his new found GAS burner. Luv my new iX12 :).

    @Snoopy1 I used one on my EF 104 with the DA120. Very nice stand off. Make sure you know what depth you need. They come in varying depths.

    Scale 1/3 Scale Extra 330L Build.

    As a Child I lived in New Mexico (Roswell :alien:) where I got my first taste of control line and RC. Hot and dry like Arizona. Even the wind is hot and dry and can feel like a blast furnace. I can thank Roswell for all my skin cancer today :concern:.

    Scale 1/3 Scale Extra 330L Build.

    The past year and now.... Weather has been no sun and soggy or bright and very windy (Much like England). The only decent weekend so far was last weekend. Was able to get some flights with the new iX12 with most of my planes. The Cub is still "work in progress" but I'm sure there will be plenty...

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

    Fine tuning the "dynamic balance" of the parts that go round and round meant yet another new spinner for the QQ300 o_O. The cone of the CF spinner is "out of round" and just wont balance good enough for my liking. The 2" anodized black TruTurn did the trick! Spools all the way up smooth as silk...

    I find it that a club environment sooner or later (mostly sooner it seems) spawns jealousy, idiocy and unwanted oversight. Some one "just has to" assert themselves to a level of "indignance" that make it impossible to enjoy yourself much less each other. I find that most of these "indignant"...

    Don't you hate it when a small "ding" ends up costing a Benjamin and then some :face-palm:. That's why I go LARGE :big-grin: when it comes to dinging things up. Makes me feel I got my moneys worth :pink_epic:.

    :yesss: it is Mike. There are 3 other local fields which I have flown at regularly but now I come out here exclusively. No club BS just come out and fly what you got.
