    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    No flying for me this weekend. We're in the April weather pattern where you get three things, sun, wind, rain. The problem is you get at least two of those at once. :(

    Glassing and Painting techniques

    +1 And I'll add one more thing. If you sand base before you clear it will turn very dark where you sand it, and if it's a metallic color it really turns to crap.

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

    I'm planning on using a helicopter motor in a future classic pattern airplane project. Unfortunately I don't have any choice but to do it the same way since the motor isn't made for a bolt on prop adapter.

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

    I'm already expecting a struggle keeping it thin and light. The Mejzliks I've painted on in the past were loaded with tiny pinholes so getting them smooth without adding a bunch of material will be fun.

    Scale Question..How many EXPERIMENTAL builders out there?

    There was a guy, Al, that ran a body shop right next to mine that built two airplanes, a Skybolt and an SE-5 in his garage at home.

    No work in my workshop today, but after a nice lunch a friend and I spent the afternoon working on his Carf 35% Extra 330SC. He's never been big on radio set ups so I lent him a hand. This setup is a bit more complicated because he wanted to try Bavarian Demon Cortex gyro. Since the Cortex...
