    3D Restoring The Yak

    Very cool, they all sound awesome! Your buddy has got all kinds of cool toys in his shop. I don't think that Performer RPM Air Gap Big Block Chevy intake manifold that's under the bench that the three cylinder was bolted to is going to fit on the Challenger.;)

    Nice! I really like the rollers sliding sideways at 1:50 and the low pass with the Futura at 2:19.

    Scale 50cc Scratch Build From My Own Design Revisited

    Cool, did you get the wheel pants with yours? They were missing on mine and weren't available at the time I looked. One thing to look out for is that curtain rod they use for a wing tube. The guy I got mine from bent it on a rough landing. It was pretty flimsy. Terry, did I see in one of your...

    Scale 50cc Scratch Build From My Own Design Revisited

    I just sold one of those! A friend gave it to me a few years ago and I never did anything with it, so I got rid of it to make room. I have always primed Solartex, but you can just paint it if you want. Mattymatt did his 50% Challenger II with it without priming and it looks awesome...

    How much are you supposed to get Mike?. They're saying over 5 inches here this week. I hope this is like all their Snowmageddon forecasts this year that didn't show up, but somehow I don't think I'm that lucky.

    It's easy to work with and it's pretty forgiving. It goes around corners really well.

    Scale 50cc Scratch Build From My Own Design Revisited

    I had a little time tonight so I covered the other side of the rudder and one side of one of the elevators. I'm having second thoughts on how I did the inner structure on the front of the elevator tips. Now that I have one covered I'm not sure I like how it looks. I may need to rethink that.

    Scale 50cc Scratch Build From My Own Design Revisited

    I've been a little under the weather lately, but I did manage it get a little work done this afternoon. I actually got a little bit of covering done. All I managed to finish was one side of the rudder, but you've got to start somewhere. It's been a while since I've used Solartex covering or...

    Mine is WAAAAAAAAY too small to start with, then when you add the fact that I have stuff for airplanes and helicopters, and I also have a fair amount of HO Model Railroad stuff and even some plastic model stuff it's like AH, AH, AH RUN FOR YOUR LIFE! every time you go in there.;)

    Scale 50cc Scratch Build From My Own Design Revisited

    Yesterday I recessed a piece of ply into the bottom of the rudder to hold the bracket for the tail wheel springs. All I need to do now before covering the wings and tail surfaces is to sand a little filler I put on the rudder. That and clean the shop which may take till spring.;)
