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

    Holy piglets Robert. Or in this case, Holy Wild Bores. That Suk is damn fine. I immediately envisioned me stripping my Sukhoi to do a custom scheme. LOL...ha ha ha....Yeah, I don't think so. Done with recovers for awhile. At least until it's time to cover the Dalton. Your Sukhoi really turned...

    IMAC Dalton 260 Restoration

    What's that old saying? Where there is a will, there is a way. I really don't feel it will be too bad. A little cleaning, a little glue and a few new sticks and it will be just fine. The satisfying aspect will be to seeing it restored and looking oh so sweet.

    3D Restoring The Yak

    I started working on the cowl today. I wanted to get the bottom opened up and reliefs opened for the exhaust stacks. I also wanted to put some baffle/deflectors in the front of the cowl to divert the incoming air across the big block cylinders. Keeping with the norm of 3 to 4 times the amount of...

    3D Restoring The Yak

    It does keep getting better. But 5 gallons is actually far from being fully broken in on a 3dub. Usually around 5 gallons they start waking up. It wasn't until I had 10 gallons on my 157 and 170, that they really started "coming into their own". Now with about 12.5 on the 157 and about 11 on the...

    3D Restoring The Yak

    The Moki's really are a pretty awesome motor. The one I am really anxious to see is my friends Kolm four cylinder boxer. That'll be a knockout for sure. Get it? Knock out? Boxer? Oh I seriously missed my calling. Should have been a comedian. :laughing: The 210 is going to be pretty awesome once...

    3D Restoring The Yak

    Man oh man she is a runner. I'm happy now. Lol. Will get a video up soon. Actually three... got a couple really cool videos of my friends radials. The 250 Moki on his Turner and the most awesome little 84cc Saito radial I've ever seen. I "WANT" one. 6200 static on a 22x12 3 blade. It's just...

    3D Restoring The Yak

    It's just about that time. But first, a little detour. Headed over to help my buddy fire up the Moki 250 Radial on his full on bad ass Turner Special he's been putting together. I'll try to get a video.... but honestly I'm not sure a meager 3w 210 can even possibly compare to the awesome roar of...

    3D Restoring The Yak

    Thanks everyone. I actually am on cloud 9. I'm going to try to get her fired up today. I think the ponies will be juuuuuust right. :laughing: The 210 is actually "rated" in the same ball park as the 212, 220 and DLE 222 4 cylinder motors. Course it will be like the difference of a big block...
