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

    Most of the dent in the can itself came out when I put a little upward pressure on the stinger. It's still a little dented there, but shouldn't cause any problems. Yes, there is a small crack from the crash. I think I'm just going to JB Weld it.

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    I keep thinking were are really going to have to pay up this winter. It's 65 and sunny here today, and should be like that all week. I just know mother nature is going to want paid in full for these nice days in November.;)

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    I found out today how not to do a Lomcovak with my Pilot Edge:) I've been entering them from a right rudder knife edge then going left. Today I found out NOT to enter it with too much speed. If you do the airplane comes to an IMMEDIATE stop. No tumble, no spin, no anything. It just pitches the...

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    We had a guy at the field today that had luck like that. Crashed two, and had a pretty new DLE120 quit in flight on a third, and when they landed and went and got it the motor wouldn't turn over.

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

    Since we're able to post pictures again, here are some pics of my canister and header repair job from yesterday. For the canisters I taped them down to a parts rack at work, and used a rod that fit nicely in the stinger and applied a little upward pressure while heating the inner and sides of...

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

    I spent some time today repairing a bent header and two bent canisters today. I did some horse trading with our club president for a new in the box DA 120 for the Hangar 9 Extra 300x and he through in the set of damaged exhaust. He ran out of gas in a hover and pancaked his airplane which bent...

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

    Tonight I did some test fitting of the DA120, headers and pipes and spinner. The headers that were thrown in with the engine deal look like they'll work great if I can fix them. The wooden spacer blocks that were included with the kit are too long for the DA120, so I think I'm going to get a...

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

    This thread will be for the assembly of the Hangar 9 Extra 300X I was fortunate to win here on GSN. My plan is to assemble it as I collect parts. It may unfortunately take a while with cash being tight, especially around the holidays, so bare with me. I'm also going to repost the pics I've...
