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

[AKNick]

Yup! Thanks for the input fellas. I was told by Morgan fuel it keeps about seven years in a dry cool area out of the sun. After that it’s questionable. There is about ten cases in a Rubbermaid shed with all the boxes deteriorated. Another ten in the dry shed. Definitely worth a try before disposing of it. Anything open is a hazmat run though. Moisture is the #1 killer

So after today:

Pretty sad to see the pile of airplanes. None were airworthy. If there was time, space and lots of labor of love these could fly again. After cleaning this up and heading to the shop it was a good reminder to myself not to become a hoarder.

Check out this magazine from 1986 with lasers!!

I ended up with a few.
EF Outlaw V1
Fiber Classics skydancer
Little flying boat
Hustler plans and a stripped airframe.
Diamond dust kit

The skydancer is new but not sure what to do with it.
Any of you have experience with any of them?

You have enough stuff to keep you busy for a number of years, the only thing is it really what you want to invest time and money into.

Exactly! I get really excited about building planes, but the time commitment is consuming and you need a passion for whatever you are building to complete it. Which is why a lot are going up for sale.

I have a 20cc DHC-2 beaver kit coming this summer that I’m excited about.

That otter is going on six months now although it’s a little more complicated with all the modifications I’ve been going through.
Created a way to remove the windscreen for battery access las night.

Nice job on the hatch that took some work and planing.
Yes I remember the 20cc beaver kit tried to get in on that deal but they would not ship to Canada.

Enjoyed catching up on all the progress here on the workshop thread!

I’m cleaning out a few items in the workshop this weekend, and decided it’s time to part with these plans. If you’re interested, let me know. Otherwise I’ll put up an ad in the classified section. Brand new, only unrolled a couple of times, but otherwise stored in my bedroom (aka climate controlled) closet.

Jerry Bates, 1/5 scale (50cc) P-51B or P-51C, six sheets, marvelously done. More info at the link below:

Can be yours for the low, low cost of shipping only from zip code 37160.

Interesting. They’ll be selling for $325 I think. He said he ordered 4x as many as the pre-buys. Sounds like they are on the barge. I’m surprised he won’t ship a Canadian airplane to Canada! If you pm your address I can ask david again for you?

Really appreciate the offer but that would be just to much of a project. Nice of you to offer the drawings for free.
