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

Unfortunately I was tearing down a 106 TOC that died on an upline. We thought it had went lean, but that was not the issue! The notorious c-clip breaking reared its ugly head and took out both pistons and cylinders along with a plane!

Yesterday was an afternoon spent at the @Spats laboratory assisting with the concoction of his latest creation. I'll let him fill the details if he so feels inclined. I have to say, it is awesome.

The good news is Aircraft International has parts at a VERY REASONABLE price So it shall live again

Was actually thinking about one of these to replace my 42 slick and have something to beat up and learn on.

Do it! I haven't flown mine yet but I did fly my Uncle Bill's and it's awesome. It flys like a balsa bird and takes a beating like a foamie. So it's a great 3D trainer.

The parts for the engine have been ordered! I actually fly this plane for IMAC and it draws some pretty nice lines once you get it setup correctly Hopefully back in the air by next weekend.

Was working on my purple/white "old" sig extra 300. Dinged it pretty bad a couple of times and rebuilt it. Was hoping to get it back in the air as a beater but having a problem getting that D@#n spe 43 to fire! Getting spark but no fuel. Wet the carb valves but still no joy. Will probably pull the carb and try a dle carb and see if anything happens.

a 3W 106 TOC? can you explain a little what the "notorious c-clip breaking" problem is?

Out with the old, in with the new. Replaced fuelers, and tanks in my Slick.

Looking good Donnie. Looks like Sunday is going to be a good day to get out. Maybe some formation flying with the Ultimates?
