    Scale 20cc DHC-2 "Beaver" Kit Build from Moustache Model Works

    Made a little receiver shelf in the back. I like it out of the way in a clean spot.

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

    Don’t judge me... daaanngggg, I’ve been a busy bee... a very very messy busy bee. Time to drink my adult beverage and clean this mess up. I mean I’m working on the working on the floor right now and it’s messy too. LOL! At least I’m making progress on my projects.

    Scale 20cc DHC-2 "Beaver" Kit Build from Moustache Model Works

    Painted the tail cone with 3 coats of sun yellow enamel. Going to let it sit for a few days and then add a blue stripe.

    89" SkyWing Laser 260 V2 Assembly Thread

    Thanks for the kind words! And welcome to GSN! I have not flown the plane yet due to winter not allowing my flying spot to open up. I don’t foresee any issues with the stock thrust angles. I have yet to weigh the plane.

    Scale 20cc DHC-2 "Beaver" Kit Build from Moustache Model Works

    Trying to figure out what the manual meant for the overlap being too big and it’ll be fine... ok, so it means like what my photo shows. Looks like it’s off, but trimming away the material shows that no corners were cut.

    The tail cone is ready for final fitting and to be painted. Used some scrap to test the yellow enamels I found. I like the one on top, although slightly brighter.

    Scale 20cc DHC-2 "Beaver" Kit Build from Moustache Model Works

    On the elevator horn I made a little spacer from a servo horn to take away the slop in the linkage... the last thing I want is that piece shaking itself to death. Sanded to fit. I had to remove some more of the canted bulkhead to allow worry free motion of the elevator kwik link. Tuned out...

    Decided to use a kwik link spring instead of silicone tube for the stock connector which is backed by a nut. Installed with locktite.

    Scale 20cc DHC-2 "Beaver" Kit Build from Moustache Model Works

    Decided I wanted to use a solderable kwik link instead of a snap link on the servo side. Just looks cleaner and more robust. Had to make a little joggle to the servo horn for everything to line up like I wanted it to.

    Scale 20cc DHC-2 "Beaver" Kit Build from Moustache Model Works

    Installed the horizontal. Ended up having to shim the right side up a bit to make everything square. The elevator control horn was hitting the canted bulkhead, so I put a piece of spruce in the corner and relieved the area for proper movement.

    News Picture Upload Limited to Three?

    For the last 2-3 weeks I have been unable to upload more than three pictures. I know others have been having the same issue on different threads.

    Anyone else notice the banner Ad's being repetitive? Also the Ad's that pop up when you click on a thread that requires you to hit close or X out is ridiculous. Going to be a site killer... I don't mind ad's as I know they help pay for things but this is bad. @GSNadmin Is there anything you can...
