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

    I finished disassembling my T-Rex 550 after Sundays festivities. :( Here is the pile of broken parts. Last night I ordered all the new parts and everything should be here next week. I'd like to have it back together by next weekend. While I'm at it I'm upgrading the rest of the gears and...

    @pawnshopmike 's uncle Bill tried to blow some of Mike's foamies away with a DA120 Sunday, does that count. If they wouldn't have blown against a building they might still be going. ;)

    Cheap alternative for "snakeskin" wire loom found!

    Does it expand and contract like snake skin, or is it a fixed size?

    Lesson #1 from Bart, OPP

    My friend Tony and I have been spotting for each other for years. Even in a non event environment it nice to have a set of eyes watching out for you. I find it extremely helpful now that I'm also flying helicopters. Something you don't dare take your eyes off of.

    You can check local auto paint supply stores or I just checked Amazon and found several. Here is a small bag. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0038D8KXU/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1436243309&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX200_QL40&keywords=upol+dolphin+glaze&dpPl=1&dpID=51nbuhXslzL&ref=plSrch

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    Yeah that's what is was, a radio glitch, or maybe the wind got it or one of the million other excuses I hear at our field. Oh well, nothing some new side frames, blades, main shaft, feathering shaft, boom, torque tube won't fix. It looks like the torque tube bearing was going south and...

    Cool! Next time get yourself something like this. I goes on easier than a body filler like the one you have, and also sands easier and smoother.

    Lacquer based products never really dry, and can really move around out in the hot sun causing all kinds of issues.

    Lesson #1 from Bart, OPP

    The old Great Planes Cap 21 kit really hurt the Cap legacy. My old club had them as a club building contest project back in 85 or so. I think there were 9 built and only 2 lived till the contest day.

    One of the problems could be your red spot putty. I take it that's just a single part red putty in a tube? If so it's lacquer based and very prone to shrinkage. A two part polyester glaze would work better and be more durable. It is a little harder to sand, but fills much better and doesn't...

    Followed by pilot error causing the impact with the ground.:msn_slap: Dennis, I would love to buy your 700, but I don't think I can fit it in the budget right now.

    Lesson #1 from Bart, OPP

    That used to claim at least one airplane every year in the bomb drop at the funflys at my old club. Watching the bomb instead of the plane and flying it right into the ground.

    Happy Independence Day!

    My Independence day weekend ended with a thud. I managed to smack my T-Rex 550 into the ground pretty hard. On my third flight of the day I was just flying around doing some loops and rolls and a little inverted hovering fairly high. I was banking back toward the field when the tail started to...

    Happy Independence Day!

    To give you an idea just how lousy the flying weather has been around here, the four flights I got in yesterday makes a total of 15 for the year with an airplane and I've got 3 with a helicopter. The weather here for the 3 day weekend has been great and I've been lucky enough to be able to take...
