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

    Checking the manual for my suk shows it balancing on the center of the wing tube. Don't have an exact weight on my batts but a similar one online shows it weighing just shy of 5oz so about 10oz total for both. I can actually say as well I had to make steel standoffs for my engine to help as well...

    This bird has been sitting in the corner most of the summer with a broken motor mount. Basically I had a bad epoxy joint between the firewall and the big piece of tristock behind it. Old has been removed and new tristock is glued in. Also this time it has a couple of screws holding it everywhere...

    Well chopchop. I will be building another soon. The first one I built for a local buddy before I built yours met its demise a couple weeks ago. Lost radio contact. Found it a mile away in a corn field destroyed.

    It is a bash of a design. Orignally it was a Slick short kit that I cut from someone elses design but bashed it into a CAP. the designer is currently in the process of finishing a design of a MXS version of it as well. Same wing on all. 36" span i think around the same length, I'm using a Hacker...

    3D 20cc Giles 202 Profile

    Waiting on the CNC cut sheeting to get back from the cutter before I build the wings. They will be cut to fit my wings exactly. Since my plans are off but just a touch I want to get the sheeting back and assemble it first to verify all my ribs are put in the correct place.
