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

    The paint had a bit of an orange peel look so I lightly sanded the cowl halves and canopy this afternoon. I mixed 4 Oz. of paint and went a little slower for the third coat and the finish is a high gloss now. Cam mentioned that it would take about four coats to get a perfect match with the...

    I started shooting the red paint last night. I might have this thing in the air by the next weekend. I also added some black pin striping to the pilot while enjoying an adult beverage.

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    I think I'll take a break tomorrow and Saturday afternoon and get some air time. It seems like it's either been raining or windy as heck every day for two weeks.

    I've only gone through the first three figures and then only a couple of times. :eek: I think Cam's been hitting it pretty hard even with building a plane. Evidently he doesn't sleep.

    I added a black pin stripe between the white and holographic chrome stripe on the fuse, wings and stabs. masked off the cowl and started the white paint. Also the pilot and wheel pants. I was having a lot of trouble getting paint to spray right and as it turns out a math error (doh) was the...

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

    Oh, man. Put an OS46AX with a Macs pipe and let it breathe. Years ago I had a LA Racer with a 46/pipe and my buddy had a Super Sportster with a 46/pipe. We would race about 4 ft off the ground and then break out and chase each other through Immelmans and Split-es. Sooooooo much fun and lost a...

    No body flies with gyros. If they have one in the plane the gyro is doing the flying.

    Model Aviators of South Arkansas 1st Annual 2016 IMAC

    This is going to be a great time and a perfect opportunity for first timers to try out IMAC. If you're tired of 3D or boring holes in the sky try IMAC. It's definitely going to be a weekend of fun. El Dorado has a great club and facilities.

    I got the fuse and rudder done. The wifey, who is a Razorback fanatic, insisted on putting some of the graphics on. Can't wait to unload this at IMAC contests in Mississippi, Oklahoma, and Texas
