    Krill 39% Ultimate 300KS Assembly And Paint

    Believe it or not that us the way it's supposed to look. It is missing the letter U from one side and E from the other, and the stripes don't line up and they're not straight, but none are missing. That is a result of being a replacement fuselage. The plan is still to repaint it.

    Krill 39% Ultimate 300KS Assembly And Paint

    Well despite my best efforts the rudder actually fits! It has about 45 degrees of travel just like the elevators so that worked out okay. Before I quit last night, I started prepping one of the stabs for it's servo. I had to cut out a ply brace over the servo hole. I put a jig saw blade...

    Krill 39% Ultimate 300KS Assembly And Paint

    Just my personal observations on the two main Composite companies Krill and Composite ARF (Carf). Carf airplanes look a little better. They remove the seam on the top of the fuselage. The skin of the Krill seems to be a little tougher, and more dent resistant. Krill doesn't normally have a split...

    Krill 39% Ultimate 300KS Assembly And Paint

    The other night when I was gluing the rudder hinges in I also glued the rudder and elevator horns in. The elevators came with laser cut plywood fixtures to locate the horns. Last night I tackled the thing I've been dreading most, gluing in the rudder post. It took several tries to get it...

    Krill 39% Ultimate 300KS Assembly And Paint

    In my line of work we use the dual mix cartridges like Hysol comes it for all kinds of things. Most are much bigger cartridges for a big gun. I gun some out and mix by hand all the time for small things. Of course we do use a bumper repair product that starts hardening in 20 seconds, that one is...

    Krill 39% Ultimate 300KS Assembly And Paint

    Yes, that's why I like to have several things ready to glue at once. Last night while doing the rudder hinges I also did the control horns in the elevators and rudder. With the long 55 minute work time you don't have to rush, and the glue stays just where you put it, it doesn't run all over.

    Scale 35% Krill Extra 330SC....CUSTOM-ARF!!!

    I for one will never judge you for taking too long. I just recently finished a restoration project on a 68 Super Sport Nova that I started on in 2013. Now my own car has been sitting since I started flying again in 2011. One if these days I guess.

    Krill 39% Ultimate 300KS Assembly And Paint

    I added some balsa to the back side of the rudder post so it would hold it's shape and make getting the hinge alignment correct a little easier. Also the Hysol finally arrived, so I glued the hinges in the post permanently.

    More parts showed up today for the Ultimate. Servo arms, rudder servo, PowerSafe receiver, tailwheel steering springs, but most importantly the Hysol.:)

    Not much progress to see in the last few days. I've been spending time fitting control horns and other tedious projects until I get the Hysol. Tony called Chief last week and they were sending everything that was backordered except the White Rose tail wheel carbon spring which was still not...

    Discussion The I’m going out flying thread 2018

    We had the same 30ish mph wind here that @pawnshopmike did. We flew a table at Bandanas BBQ. Tony and I and another buddy from the field, Chris, came over and looked at the progress on Tony's Ultimate, then we went to lunch and told lies about flying.:)

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

    I grew up in the home of Stag, Belleville IL. The only beer that ever made me sick. It had nothing to do with the many, many, many Michelob's I drank before we ran out and switched to Stag.:cheers:

    It's like what a buddy of mine told me once when I was telling him how lucky he was to have a wife that let him do whatever he wants and never says a word. His answer was, "Luck has nothing to do with it, I interviewed a lot of woman for the job.";)
