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

    I used to have a worn out TMAXX with the 3.3, I broke it every time it went out, it sat for a while, and gave it to somebody else for a song. I've never hear of a tiger drive, sounds like it was just the ticket to make rip roaring around more fun.

    It was just a little black bear. Just don’t get in the way while hanging out in their kitchen and you’ll be fine. 95% of the time they are more scared of you. That other 5%... look for cubs, and if it’s scrawny in the fall time. Brown bears are way more territorial, feel they need to prove they...

    It is. Lol I believe the HS needle is restricted somehow. Flew great on the first flight. Second flight it was acting great right up to the point where it died. Now it won’t transition. Haven’t had to touch the needles on this engine much. Taking the carb off now to investigate Sent from my...

    Masked off a small section. White, then remasked for red, then free handed the silver... which I did not make a very strait line on. The red was pretty darn close after three coats, the overlap red on red turned out dark. This is good enough for me and didn’t strive for perfection. Sent from...

    Got ready to remaiden the edge. Fired up and purred nicley. Let it warm up for a couple minutes, opened up the throttle and went up to speed, checked transition and ... we’ll shoot it wants to die... in fact it did die. Hmm, wonder if I got something in the carb when putting together the plane...

    Epoxy paste did the trick. Had some Top Flight Luster Cote white, duplicolor red, and some short cuts silver. Ready to go! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

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

    I’ve done CA before and thought it was too brittle. Interesting idea with the TP... never thought it would be a decent filler! I ended up using some epoxy paste, we’ll see how it turns out. My Walmart is vacant here.... closed doors quite a few years ago. I have some sharpies that might do the...

    I see the merit in what you’re saying, but it’s less than cosmetics for me at this point. Want to just seal it up right at this point. This is not a show plane... well up close lol!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

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

    Finished the other wing! Turned out better than I anticipated. Looked over the fuselage, found a wheel axel I had lying around to swap out the bent one. Gear looks good! Patched a couple stick holes in the Ultracote that didn’t hit any structure thank goodness. LH elevator servo support glue...

    Far from perfection, but I think it will work just fine. It's my first smoker plane so letting it get dirty, and with all the little bumps, bruises, and scab patches is helping me get over the don't hurt the new plane or covering thought. LOL

    Both came stored at 14%, Quality seems legit. Purchased them from the China Warehouse since the USA warehouse is very limited. They shipped two at a time (four purchased) via FedEx. Pulse Batteries are out of stock on certain types I want for quite some time, so I opted to give these guys a try.

    The 3DRCForums -Discuss Anything Thread-

    The TDRC stuff is polyurethane. Chief carries Polyvinyl in addition to the rest except polyurethane. The nice thing about Polyurethane is that it's fairly rigid, and seats over barbs very well (especially if you heat it up a little bit), I like it as the vent/in tank/to carb... I don't like it...

    Thanks guys, don't worry. . . there are imperfections!! The other wing is going to use more balsa, and a need to make a rib. The original rib was either MIA in a tree or obliterated on impact.

    Finished repairing one wing. I just so happened to have all the covering for this repair which was a bonus. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
