    Yes I have some 1/4” luan scraps I’m gonna use on the inside in some areas. It will be interesting as the buyer wants it shipped grey hound and I have never done that before.

    Sold a few things and need to ship them off to the new owner in Kentucky so I’m building a crate for them. Frame work is all ripped from a single 1x10. Cardboard will go on all sides and the bottom has a layer of foam on it. Need more cardboard and need to get everything wrapped up really nice...

    Hopefully I’m not the only one that has flown already. Got a quick toss with my dlg this morning. Oh yeah Happy New Year everyone.

    I haven’t grilled a steak in over two years now. I pan fry them. Take out of fridge 30 minutes to an hour before cooking and dust both sides with garlic salt and McCormicks Montreal steak seasoning. Get the pan really good at hot with some olive oil in it just to keep the steak from sticking...

    I plan on doing turkey legs this summer in it once I get these annoying braces off my teeth. We love getting them every year at the state fair so will be nice to enjoy them other times.

    Funny you say that as I’m putting a uke together as well for my wife. The stew Mack ones looked really nice but just settled on an inexpensive one for now.

    Unfortunately we got to hungry to wait any longer so it never made it to the pulled pork stage. Still sliced really nice and tasted amazing. We did it with diced taters roasted in the oven with onion soup mix on them. As we don’t do cole slaw or potato salad.

    Little girl got her first airplane for Christmas thanks to a club member. She loves it and has already crashed it once resulting in a busted chin and lip. Crawled right back over for more though.

    Don’t think. Just go buy. They are a world of fun. Been a whole new skill set for me to learn. Learning to properly launch is only a little of it. Then learning to read the air, know where to go for possible lift, learning how the plane signals lift is all just good fun. I will say I have...

    For entry level it all depends on what your willing to spend and what kind of performance you want out of it. If your just looking for something to toss around every so often and is pretty inexpensive then the Elf or whatever the one hobby king sells are decent choices. The whipit is fun as well...

    Yes sir. DLG or Discus Launch Glider. You can see the peg in the left wing tip. Hook it in your fingers, spin really fast, and let it go.

    Yes more technique than strength. Most of the guys out there getting the higher launches are really skinny guys. Some of it is in the plane too. This new plane launches higher than the one in my profile pic and I’m not even throwing it as hard. Long flight times can be had. Guy I fly with all...

    Got the maiden out of the way on my Vortex 3 dlg. Awesome flying plane. Need some calmer weather to get proper trim flights in.

    Cant remember. Was just something I saw on Facebook. I think they are around a 35-40" span and if I remember correctly he based them off of the Diamond Dust but was mostly his own design.
