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

    I epoxied the top of the engine box back on my Extra tonight. I also added some triangle stock to to the top of the firewall. It's obvious why it came off if you look at the picture of the top plate. It's upside-down in the photo and it's clear they had no glue at all on the tabs that lay on top...

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

    I spent a little time on the Hangar 9 Extra today after getting back from the field. I added some triangle stock on the bottom of the firewall where it meets the floor of the engine box. There was a nice ledge there that looks like it was made for some triangle. I'm planning on adding some...

    An Oldie But A Goodie

    I usually run a number 6 on a 4-40 and an 8 on a 6-32. It gives you more area. They're so cheap and the shipping is too that I usually buy a lot. Take a look around the site, they have all kinds of nice stainless stuff at awesome prices. I'm going to put in another order very soon.

    Discussion The I’m going out flying thread 2018

    I just got back and the weather was as advertised. The Green Edge actually started reasonably easy today, once it filled all those new dry fuel lines. Having the choke close right makes a big difference. ;)

    This looks like the best flying weather so far this year. I think I'll take the Pilot Edge out for a spin.;)

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

    Luckily the firewall is attached to the sides with mortise and tenon joints with a nice piece of triangle stock in the corners, so it stayed put. They have a very large factory hole behind the engine that makes the Chinese plywood firewall flex when the top and bottom come loose.

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

    Today I went from 0 of 3 of my gas airplanes in air worthy shape to 2 of 3 ready to fly. I had a little dirt in the clear on the elevator for Miss Moana so I sanded and polished it before bolting it back on and ready to fly. I installed and plumbed the new tank on the Edge so it's ready to...

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

    I assembled and weighed my new Fortitude 20 ounce tank last night. The old 24 ounce DuBro tanks weighed 3.7 ounces and the new tank weighs a little more than half as much at 1.9 ounces. Figuring carrying 4 ounces less fuel at .75 ounces per fluid ounce and my weight savings is 4,8 ounces. I also...

    Yippee! What the postman brought

    A Cessna Citation, or as a buddy of mine that is trained as an aircraft mechanic calls them, a "Munson" burner. Bad taste, but accurate.
