    Yup. The wing is still sitting half down on the workbench. Got burnt out on it so took a break to work on other things. Now s little girl in the house (well as soon as we make it home) so build time will be limited but it will still get finished.

    Lol I have knocked tail wheels and slide off my profiles including my big 55cc one. Always just say screw it and drag the rudder and fix it once I get home. Then again I fly off of grass so it doesn’t hurt it too much.

    I have never had much luck with a sock on the iron. What I have found works if you get adhesive or color on the iron is to have a clean rag close by. Put a little rubbing alcohol on it and wipe the hot iron down with it. Cleans it up real nice.

    Yes paper is under the glass. Just there as a guide in laying out the paper. All it is is butcher paper.

    That’s not a problem at all. Yes needs to be the same covering. Shrink rate I don’t think is that big of an issue more of the temp at which each starts to stick. At first I used a piece of glass out of an old picture frame. Worked good but on larger sections you had to do part of it then move...

    How’s this for a cheese burger?? Don’t have them out east so while in Arizona we decided to try one out. Still doesn’t compare to a five guys burger but was pretty tasty.

    Lol well the wood they offer for most is the motor box repair kit. I got one for the 75” extra I got from rick after I stuffed it in hard.

    They do it for a lot of them. Just go to their spare parts page and look up which ever plane you need parts for. Site is laid out really well.

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

    So I will try to answer all the questions. This plane I built is just a good design. One place you can save some weight on these size planes is to use light weight covering. No landing gear as well. I fly off of grass so landing gear is pretty much pointless on something this size and if you...
