    IMAC The new Dalton 300 SP / 330

    Uh, oh. Cam hasn't updated in four days. Maybe the wife found the new Dalton? Cam's been tied up doing dishes and vacuuming?

    I got most of the bottom of the fuse done tonight before my 16 year old cheapie iron fatigued and cracked at the head. Off to Tower again.......

    Oh man, don't tell me that! A 1/2 pint of white and a 1/2 pint of Missile Red, along with the catalyst, was $125! If it doesn't match I'm going to commit Harri-Kari.

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

    Wings and stabs are done. On to the rudder and the bottom of the fuse. Another roll of Missile Red should be here tomorrow for the fuse bottom. Because of measuring for the turtle deck incorrectly, twice, I'm now on my 5th roll of red. Klass Kote paint recommended by Ortho is also on the way and...

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

    It was a brand new blade. Sucker bled all day yesterday. Soaked the band-aid I put on it and ran in to my sock and on my pants leg. I pulled the bandage off last night and here came the blood. Tech note: CA won't stick if the wound is still bleeding. Damn blood thinners. I got one elevator...

    Never let your hobby knife roll off the table while you're busy covering.

    +1 on the copper RTV. Never had a leak or loose exhaust ever.

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

    I got started on covering the turtle deck. Damn. I officially hate covering turtle decks. I was a little concerned about getting a clean border between the white and red so I taped a long piece of poster board along the line of demarcation. Then I worked the covering down all the way to and over...

    Finished my wings. On to the turtle deck for a third try.

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

    I managed to cut two pieces of red monocote for the turtle deck wrong. One too short, one too narrow. Since it takes almost a full roll in length, that left me out of tries until I get two more rolls of red monocote. Tower order shows out for delivery today so maybe I'll get a third chance at...

    I want to see the repair job on your wife's shoe sole. Clamps and all. Great progress on the SP300 too. In the same time I managed to cover the bottom of another wing. Geez.

    No. I can't put the red leading edge on until I get my new rolls of red. Pretty basic, all white with red wingtips and leading edge. You know sooner or later she's going to check on you. Oh, boy. You'll have some explaining to do!

    Dang Cam, you're quick! It took me 6 hours to recover one wing on my Sukhoi yesterday.

    DLE 170 dead cylinder and piston

    Regardless, given the track record of DLE 170 carbs, he is ahead of the game with the carb switch.

    Saying goodbye to AMA?

    TBH, I'm not sure that the relationship is mutually beneficial anymore. IMAC, acting independently, could still use the AMA event sanction process and require AMA membership for insurance and safety. The NATS could go back to moving the venue around the country making it more affordable and...

    You need a logo sticker to put on them. Maybe this with a stethoscope photoshopped around his neck.
