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

    Tried to get my trailer in the garage to appease our HOA today. Got 10" rims for free which will lower it enough to get in...however, I didn't consider GROUND clearance with our sloped driveway. Will be picking up an adjustable drop hitch from HF tomorrow that will hopefully pitch up the bottom...

    Well not in the workshop, but I won a full MassiveRC 250-size quad kit this weekend at RCEFF! I had been considering getting one since trying fpv out with the nqx, so this was an awesomely perfect prize! All its missing is the fpv camera & transmitter. Was a great weekend of flying, and got to...

    I've been toiling away with my 93 laser build. Finally got all the ignition wires secured. Waiting for some CF vinyl to coat the tray before I can install much more.

    Lets see, over the last few days... - Crashed my AJ Laser 56" on the first flight at a club I was visiting in my new home of Raleigh. The left aileron servo (5087MH) went bad w/ only 30-ish flights on it. Front is crunched pretty good, rest is ok. - Finished LG strengthening mods to my new EF...

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

    Moved my entire life from MI to NC last weekend. Got damn lucky by noticing a bad crack (down to the wire mesh) in the airplane trailer I acquired the week before just an hour before we hit the road. Sunday 9am, noone was open. Finally got ahold of a fleet service company that came out and put...

    FINALLY got to maiden my 30cc size GMP GeeBee R3. Only real issues were the tailwheel tiller arm wasn't strong enough to keep it straight, and the rudder was reversed (note, preflight from BACK of plane ;)) Flew good, just have to tweak CG and check lateral balance as the stalls would drop a...

    And if you screw something up, its easy to get disoriented. Always remember to save the plane over trying to get a maneuver correct/completed! :)

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

    Looking for ideas - Trying to get my choke rod setup. The cowl opening is mostly closed off with lite ply, so makes it difficult. In the pics, I have it coming almost straight out, which works...but there's not much room between the plane of the prop and the ply of the cowl. Enough, but not...
