    The other plus with something like Icing or Dolphin Glaze is that you can sand it in about 15 minutes most of the time.

    GSN GIVE-A-WAY Hangar 9 35% Extra 300X Assembly

    Today I took the Extra to my shop so I could work on it in the AC and have room to assemble it. My plan was to finish the radio programing, set the throws, match the ailerons, weigh it, balance it, and test run it. Well, I had never had the stabs completely bolted on so I tackled that first. It...

    Cool The I'm going out flying thread 2017

    All week I've been working hard trying to get my Hangar 9 Extra 300X ready to maiden. Today I was going to finishing up all the radio programing, balance it, weigh it, and test run it. Well lets just say it's more tail heavy than Kim Kardashian. Now I need to move the batteries as for forward as...

    The resin and micro balloons will work fine, but it's a lot harder to sand than Icing or Dolphin Glaze.

    GSN GIVE-A-WAY Hangar 9 35% Extra 300X Assembly

    I moved the airplane out into the family room tonight. Getting a complete basically ready to fly 35% fuselage out of my workshop is not easy.:confused: Tomorrow I'm taking it to my shop to so I can assemble it where I have room, and air conditioning. I still need to adjust the throws, match the...

    Sport The Behemoth Yak gets a Behemoth Brother/129" Pilot Yak (2)

    Man that's a lot of area to iron. Behemoth is right. I think that may be the coolest pilot bust I've seen, and a perfect match for that airplane.:yesss:

    GSN GIVE-A-WAY Hangar 9 35% Extra 300X Assembly

    I got a few more things accomplished last night. I made a choke lever so I can just reach through the hole in the front of the cowl to set the choke. I used some BVM Poly Ply I had laying around and CA'd three pieces together for thickness and cut a slot in the back end to slide over the shaft...

    At least it won't be 100 then, well it shouldn't be anyway.;) Mike, you coming to MAW for the Big Bird event Saturday? If I'm going to maiden my Hangar 9 Extra Sunday I'll be working on it most of the day Saturday, so I doubt I'll make it out there.

    Hello from Canada

    I remember the Great Planes Cap 21 very well. The club I was in years ago used to have a builders contest every year. In one category they would pick a kit that you could buy at a discounted price at the local hobby shop. The Great Planes Cap 21 was the subject in 1985 I think it was. While we...

    I finished the baffling tonight. It turned out okay. The next one I do will be better, but this one should be plenty functional. My workshop looks like a Nerf bomb went off.:lol2:

    And when I pull one apart to see what's what after maiden day I'm somehow always surprised that nothing fell off.:lol2:

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

    My workshop and living quarters are getting a little confused right now too. Even my family room looks like an airplane bomb went off in it.
