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

    Looks good so far bud. First I have a request and I will PM you my email address but I would love to have a file of just where you have the engine drawn up. Would be a big help when I finally get my 55cc edge profile from paper and into CAD. Now my little bit of input on what you have drawn so...

    Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

    So your build has me motivated now. A club member gave me his old world models 1/4 scale clipped wing club about six months ago after a crash knocked the firewall and landing gear out from under it. Also bent the wing tubes and broke the cowl and canopy. I’m gonna do a basic repair on it, slap...

    Sport The Kool Kanary (Giant Hot Kanary)

    Looking great there bud. While the stars look great on it and o do consider myself a very patient person I don’t think I would have been able to do them all without driving myself mad. I know how much work is involved in hand cutting a bunch of checkers so I can only imagine with those.

    Did you see my pm with the CNC guys info. If you go the route of him cutting stuff you can order from SIG or somewhere like that and have it shipped to him.

    So you can see in the pics here that I draw the radius and just sand it square afterwards. Green lines meen cut on the inside of the line and blue lines meen cut on the outside of the lines. Not sure how thick of ply he can cut but I know he can cut up to 1/2” balsa at least. I know he is...

    I’m sure he could cut them for you. Not sure on cost but the couple of kits he is selling I feel he is selling for a fair price. As far as colors on plans I just made it easy for him. I will post a pic in a bit when I fire my laptop up to explain. It wasn’t something he asked for just something...

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

    Lol I gotcha. Yeah #33 is refered to as the good electrical tape. Some other stuff out there I think it’s #59 that absolutely sucks. Once it’s below like 50 degrees outside the 59 stuff becomes hard and brittle and will not stretch like it needs too.

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

    Mine was a piece of tempered as it was supposed to be for a door which makes it more expensive but really strong. I don’t have to worry about dropping my weights on it and breaking it. But remember a bit on the edge of tempered glass will shatter it into a million pieces.

    Also bud I got my piece of glass from Virginia auto glass in Petersburg. It was originally supposed to replace the piece I busted in my sliding door but still hasn’t been done so I use it for this. Lol

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

    I have been building on glass cause I’m too lazy to move the piece of glass after the last plane is covered. Would still build the same way without it though as I do like snoopy and use weights. I just find it easier and don’t like pin holes all in my builds.
