    I use copper RTV on the bolts and flange as well. Just make sure there isn't any oil residue.

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

    Glued my custom rudder tiller bar in place. Since my shop was cold I decided to drain a LiPo to death (bad cell) and use its heat to warm the epoxy. Efficiency folks. then I finished routing my wires to the end rib. Along with a hole for my beacon wire.

    110" TIMBER Assembly Thread

    I mounted mine on the deck, to the right of the fuel tank. Don't think I had any excess wire as my rx was in the back.

    Frozen over lake, maybe about 5" of ice, so not much. I think it was about 20F in the video, but the air was still and the sun was our which helps a ton.

    Oooffff February here usually means cold and clear... Been in the single digits (3-18F) the last 24hrs, bit of a breeze this morning. We got 12" of snow last week as well. Old man winter is here to stay.

    After learning my supplied rudder linkage wasn’t going to work (nylon fitting wouldnt thread on) I finally figure out what would. Modified a Redwing push rod. Ground the wrench flats off, bent to mimic the original - except a bit longer, and inline with the rudder hinge gap. Then cut to length.

    Seen a guy on a FB group that had made a little access hole for the rudder linkage. I figured why not! So I made one just in case I need access to the connection. Pretty much just made a little oval hole with some doublers just below the stab doubler, and used a couple little countersunk screws...

    Sure is! It's an old TMAXX shock strut. It does toe in the skis a bit being off center, but not that bad. Got some video, looking forward to putting something out with it!

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

    Welcome back! Got a full blown farm going on there. Little breaks are good from time to time. It rekindles the passion sometimes. I cleaned my workspace up... which is helping me scratch the itch to finish projects!

    Thanks Mike! Trying to keep this project rolling! I’m eager to cover it! So many little details! speaking of details, I’ve been thinking... I want to design and make a PCB board for my light system that I designed years ago. Probably outdated, but it’ll be a fun project none the less. Would be...
