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

    Did a lot of covering on a slab today but also got the hangar nine edge back out and started taping the cowl for paint. Might throw some color at it in the morning.

    Acid/Epoxy Brushes Source

    Last time I bought acid brushes I got them from McMaster Carr. Can't remember the price though.

    These are the specs on my smaller version of the pic I posted earlier. It's cubic loading is just shy of 6 cu in. The bigger purple one I posted the pic of is around 6-1/4. Typical slab say mojos, primos and such are in the mid to low 4's for cubic loading and your typical 3D fattie is more...

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

    @Snoopy1 i would recommend an airfoil similar to what a buddy and I used on this edge. It is a naca 0018 at the root rib transitioning to a naca 0015 at the tip. Shoot for around 850-900 square inches of wing area and you should be good to go. Build it light and try to cut weight in the rest of...

    Sport The 182 gets "Gassed"

    I enjoy flying things in a scale manner but one or two flights and I'm itching to drag the rudder down the runway though.

    Depends on what your looking for. Do you want something that is slow stable and floaty or to you want something that will carry energy nicely but still remain stable in a stalled attitude?

    Covering the fuse on a slab this morning before leaving for work this morning. Got greeted by a fire that had just been put out at work so it's been a long day. Had a 300hp motor decide it was its time to stop running which set many other things on fire. Hell of a last day before enjoying three...

    I have made a couple for local guys. Problem is you gotta build them custom to each can.

    Lucky you. Mine runs great but I have had to use the starter to get it running.

    That sucks though. We screw with one of the older guys in our club that has a couple MDS engines and we always will say here comes that mostly dead stick plane. 9 times out of 10 he has to deadstick the plane.

    IMAC First Carden 124" Extra 300 Pro Build

    I do not believe terry edge glues his. If I remember correctly going the vacuum bag route it basically sucks the glue into the joints.

    That looks nice. I made one for my fuel jug last year. You got a much nicer pump than I do though. I just bought the cheap one from hobby King.

    BF-109 In VIrginia

    Bart will have to answer that one. Never had a problem uploading other than the occasional pic that needs to be resized. How about trying it again though and taking a screen shot so Bart can see the exact error.

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

    That's the way I do it when I do small Chex. But on big one like this I like to save weight. So insted of covering the whole th get in white and then laying the black Chex down over top of it they are all individual pieces that are put together over glass then moved to the wing. Here is a video...

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

    I know the feeling on sticking the Phillips head driver on the drill into my finger. Done if a many of times. Started working on the covering for the next slab in the line up to be covered. Angled checkers are a royal PIA to get everything lined up right but man the results are worth it. Also...
