    Byron's Origional Airshow Memories!

    Another thing that comes to mind about the last trip to Byron. My flying buddy Tony that I went with back then and still fly with today has always dressed like mister GQ. One night while we were in Sioux City we went to I think it was a Hardee's and he was wearing a pink Polo shirt. People...

    Byron's Origional Airshow Memories!

    Byron was an awesome show. Byron Godberson was a pretty eccentric guy that had a really awesome layout. His house was amazing right down to the moat. His full scale hanger at the municipal airport was really something. It had a map of the world of about Columbus's time in the floor made with...

    Glassing and Painting techniques

    @Wacobipe , I hand sanded all of my resin starting with 80 grit then 120. That was done using a self adhesive sandpaper stuck on small oak blocks, foam blocks or a flexible sanding pad. My airplane is pretty curvy, if I was doing a nice flat wing I would use a larger foam block. I sanded it like...

    IMAC Carden Pro 124 Build, My Dream Plane

    The epoxy, as seen in Terry's testing which I think is in the bagging thread posted above, also shows how the epoxy penetrates the foam and wood under a vacuum. He used some dye on some test panels and it was amazing how far it went. As for working time there are different hardeners to control...

    It's the little things....

    One of the guys in my old clubs AMA number was something like 147. He raced Quickies so his number was on his airplane all the time. Back then mine was 6 digits long starting with the 1674 it is now. I used to see his and think, "wow, he's been at it a while". He ran the local hobby shop that...

    The AMA shortened mine about 25 years ago to 1674. It's short enough even I can remember it!;)

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

    Last night I stripped all the electronics and things out of my 50cc Aeroworks Extra 300. I also cleaned it up. Tonight I'm going to iron out any wrinkles and anything else it needs so I can sell it. A club member wants to look at it and if he's not a buyer then to the classifieds it goes. I have...

    Yeah, every time you think your getting something accomplished you realize you still have a laundry list of things to do.

    I removed my two original posts from the thread. I apologize for going so GiantScaleNews on you, but watching the video really struck a chord with me, as it did with others.

    Absolutely, just as others have the right to think it's an a$$hat move.;)

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    Just like I thought, they were wrong. I did get two flights in before the nasty looking rain clouds moved in and I loaded the truck and went home. It drizzled on me about half of my 35 minute drive. Since I haul in an open pickup rain can be a pain. That makes 11 flights this year. I'm setting...

    painting ON covering?

    I painted an Ultracote covered wing many years ago. From what I can remember I used a single stage urethane after scuffing it with a gray Scotchbrite pad. I don't remember if I used any flex additive or not. It held up well, but was on a fully sheeted wing and stab. Solartex fabric covering...
