    That sucks! I don't know if there is enough epoxy to fix that one :)

    Thank you. Will be firing it up at lunch to make sure the engine is going to run before heading to the field this weekend :)

    It will live again. Almost ready to fire it up again.

    Plane Stand Pro - fuselage stand.

    You know, funny someone should mention instructions......I have had my truck and stereo system for just about 14 years and have always complained that the lights were to bright and wish they would dim. Well, I was playing with a button today and guess what, THEY DO DIM!!!! So I thought I found a...

    My planes have allergies too. They are allergic to the ground :)

    I forgot about this forum :) This is what happens when a c-clip breaks and takes out BOTH cylinders on an upline :( The good news is it should be flying again this weekend :)

    Oh yes :) It is definitely more solid than when it left the factory :) The doublers are basswood and epoxied in place with micro-ballons.

    I finished the structural part of the reconstruction on the Extra :) Just a little sanding and cover it back up tonight. New Falcon 28x9 will be here today, so hoping to get it all back together and possibly fired up Thursday night :) :) Less than a week to go from snapped in half to flying again :)

    Thank you. Should be covering tomorrow night. Putting the last piece of balsa sheeting on now and just waiting for the glue to dry :-)

    Plane Stand Pro - fuselage stand.

    @Terryscustom, what is the distance between the uprights? Will it handle my 42% Edge with the gear on? I am not sure of the width off the top of my head. I do know it is a lot wider than my 35% Extra 330SC.

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

    It was a very productive night in the shop tonight. I received the "new" cylinders for the 106 making it a CS :) Took the cylinders and pistons off the classic 106, put them on the TOC crankcase, because it is the older of the two, and put the cylinders from Gerhard on the newer 106 crankcase...

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

    Some of the earlier 3W engines, for whatever reason, would break the c-clips that hold the piston pins in place. If you were lucky, the piece would just go out the exhaust, but most of the time it would tear up the cylinder because the metal they are made of is much harder than the cylinders and...

    The parts for the engine have been ordered! I actually fly this plane for IMAC and it draws some pretty nice lines once you get it setup correctly :) Hopefully back in the air by next weekend.

    Plane Stand Pro - fuselage stand.

    The notorious c-clip breakage strikes again! It took out both pistons and cylinders, but luckily left the bottom end in good shape. AI has some CS cylinders for a very reasonable price so I am picking them up. Should be nice and stout when it does run again :)

    Plane Stand Pro - fuselage stand.

    I will be getting one of these, but due to an engine failure last night, I will be sending my money to Aircraft International for parts :(

    The good news is Aircraft International has parts at a VERY REASONABLE price :) :) So it shall live again :)
