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

    I was told a former club member donated this to the fields "recycle bin". So I decided to "restore" it :). It is just the fuse and it is even missing the rudder. LG has broken weld on one of the carriers. The cub wheels were covered in garage gunk and mildew but cleaned up very well. I was...

    Today was a bit warmer and really pleasant to be outside. Did not get to make it to the field but there was another field right in my back yard that had lots of horse power to admire :)

    I'm very familiar to that kind of environment from days past. Rome, N.Y., Ashville, OH., Landsdown, PA. is were I have endured it too for many years. Glad I retired down here.

    I just can't hit the like button. I "Felt" a small bit your fellas pain for a short wile. And that was only in the teens at night and very rare down here. Having to suffer minus temps night and day , frozen solid water and tundra just plain sucks. There is a certain beauty to it on a calm sunny...

    Looks really nice!:attaboy: I think your going to really like the new gear . I was doing one wheel touch and go's with some really long roll outs. Fun just got funnier o_O. I moved the battery back to compensate for the additional weight over the stock gear. Doubt you will have to go back as...

    Walbro Fuel inlet pipe

    If it were plastic or plated metal I would say yes because I have done it. But since it is brass tubing and seated with a sealant I would NOT attempt it on that one. Very likely to bend or kink the brass tubing and cause an air leak. Best to just drill the hole.

    Very nice! But I think "Flat Liner" is a better name for those. Anything that can out run a radio signal want's to stop my heart :cautious:.

    Thanks Rob. Always :) to have your support bro! Charlie seems to like it. I got a pull at the sticks and it does have some KE coupling issues. Charlie had the V1 of this plane also and it did not have the KE coupling issues :confused:. Any way we will work on it for the next several flights to...

    All my junk just sitting in COLD storage. It is so pretty outside but so deceptive! Need to get busy on the Pilot Extra and order the fuse for it. Still undecided about how to power it up. The DL50 is doing great in its new home and I don't know if I want to put it back in that airframe. 40 twin...
