    Welcome!

IMAC The new Dalton 300 SP / 330

Thank you Rich, Mike and Wayne for the kind words. All they did was put one stent in. He made a very small incision in my right groin, and I was awake while he did the procedure. I was able to tell him when he recreated the chest pain I was having, and this guided him to find the lesion, which was the right main coronary artery, about 70% narrowed.

Then that night, I walked about 3 miles inside the hospital, and then this morning, I was chomping at the bit to get out of the hospital. All the nurses said I was the best patient, in that, they did not have to do much for me.

I am a strong believer, in, moving around as soon as any procedure is done. Laying around after any procedure, increases the risk for complications. Well, now, I have to take a blood thinner for one year, and also a pill to lower the cholesterol. Although, my total cholesterol is 173, the LDL is 130 and the HDL is 3o something, so, that is worrisome. Now, I feel great, it is amazing, that for about 1 year, I was having this problem, and I was totally ignoring it. The pain was not even really a pain, I felt this discomfort behind my chest wall. Maybe a 2 out of 10, in a range, 0 being nothing, and 10 feels like you want to cry.

But Wayne, the doctor did tell me to not over exert myself, walking is ok, but he told me not to do any lawn work. We had a gentleman over here today, cleaning out our gutters, but i ended up helping him cut down a tree. All i did was fetch the chain saw and start it up for him.


Ok, here are the pictures, what I have done so far. I came back in to get a glass of water and stay hydrated.

With the outside temp in upper 90's. inside the shop, the temp is about 79 degrees F. AC is blowing full power.

I laid down the white first, working from rear to front, then I laid down the blue...

following this, I then floated the other blue piece over ammonia diluted in water, over the white, this is near the root.

This will have a chemical reaction resulting in a bond, without using heat. I had to squeegee all the fluid out between the two layers of monokote.


here are both wings....

I started to work on the orange stripe, again, this is floated on over ammonia diluted in water.

In a little while, I will be back to finish them off, then I can install the servos and control horns.....

thank you all again,


Cam

Su, using the ammonia water, you don't need heat to bond the coating? Very cool.

And glad to hear you are out of the hospital and back to the hobby... Just take it easy in this heat. I hear that blood thinners can zap your energy pretty quickly.

Hi Mike, yes, that is right. I learned this from Tom Wheeler. Only with Monokote, i believe. If you use Ultracote, and you want to lay Ultracote over any other covering, then you need to use soapy water. You can lay Monokote over Monokote or Ultracote, but use ammonia water.

tomorrow, I will zap it with very low heat on the iron.

Whoa, Cam, I'm glad to hear that you are OK! It could have been much worse as per your wife finding you laid out over your PRO wings!! What did your MD say about being out in the heat? I know with all the meds that I take I have to move really slow out in the hear! I definitely can't take the heat like I used to! BE careful!

Glad to hear your ok and are recovering from the stint surgery, my mother who is 83 has four of them the first one she got was ten years ago !! The wings are looking great i like the design on the wings very easy to see in the sky . Take care of yourself ..:)
 
Hi Tom, I am thinking, maybe today. I have to match the elevator halves, then check CG, and then she will be good to go.
I also need to run up the motor (with the canopy off), to make sure that the fuel tank does not collapse, I will do that pretty soon.
