    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    It was a "Blue" plane group at the field today. Putting the events of the last two weeks to a close yesterday, I "HAD" to find a way to feel normal again. My son brought his "Blue" BE124 powered Pilot 35% 330. My best friend Aaron brought his "Blue" DLE55 powered Pilot Edge. I of course just had...

    Many happy memories? Indeed I do. Even when he made me so mad I could spit nails, I realized he was right...(which only made me even more mad...lol) and the outcome was always positive. Thank you all.

This is yet one more clear indication of the devotion to each and every one of us in this awesome family and Hobby.

    My friends, thank you all so much for your well wishes. I will do my best to return to and finish the Pitts this coming weekend. At present, many arrangements are in need of being made, so my time for the next few days is going to be very limited. Perhaps I can pull off a maiden within the next...

    A little update for those that are waiting for the outcome. First, the paint (the pearl purple) has dried to a beautiful purple hue and matches the covering absolutely perfectly. It does not have the "shine" the covering has but I am certain now that the clear coat will remedy this. I am very...

    I actually considered that. But it is a white primer. I was cautioned to not use grey for that very reason. But you'll see the Flame Red is almost spot on. Same primer on the entire cowl. I am really hoping it just needs to be cleared. It's pretty close now that it has had a couple of days to...

    And just what makes you think the quad is for the Yak? Huh? Well? Ok, so...maaaaybe it is. Fact is, I talked to a very knowledgeable guru on setting them up. Seems I "allllmost" had it when I gave it the first attempt. So, We're gonna try it again. What the heck...if all else fails, stock muffs...

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

    I once had 14 ready to go flyable planes. The maintenance and upkeep was time consuming to say the least. Ah but that was the good ole glow (shudder) days. In the deepest days of the gas switch out, I had 10 ready to rock and roll flying rides. And again I found the maintenance and upkeep even...

    Here we go gents. Been a long couple of days at work. I usually shower and hit the sack after getting home. Dang, in bed by 8 in the evening? I think my younger self must be feeling really old lately. Lol. I finally got the canopy border painted. I'm a little disappointed the paint is not a...

    I think the canopy is going to live. Got all the paint sanded down or removed completely. Now it's time to try it again. I think I'll wait a day or two when I'm a little more motivated. (Really long day at work) I also put the cowl on the Pitts to see how it looks. A little light over spray...

    Two very good questions. First, I think what happened was the white being a mixture of paint and clearcoat which the Rust-Oleum is I think that is what caused the purple to do what it did. Second, yes the red and a purple are base coat colors. I believe the shine that you are seeing with the red...

    Thank you, however no label on cans. They didn't have any labels due to everything being packed for the show. But no worries. Real easy to take care of. I'm pretty much over the issues. Last of painting will be done by this weekend and the build will be complete. I already have their plane...

    My Lil girl has already stolen my heart. Ah but her 4 brothers before her already had pieces of it in advance. Lol I had a set back with the canopy last night. Got the white border painted great. I waited till way late last night to shoot the very small sections of purple. The paint is fine, but...
