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

AKNick, Have you thought about getting another set of floats for the 84" Bush Master ? just a thought. They might work

Nope, Other than the Seaplane Supply Floats would be much lighter... I like they way they perform, so no reason (other than weight) to try a pair of SS floats.

I was totally surprised when a few of my student Pilots brought this over to me today. an 80 mm FMS BAE HAWK with a 12 bladed fan and a 3270-1930 kv motor and a Predator 100-A ESC (V2) I assembled it and installed a new AR-637T AS3X reciever, programmed and have it ready to test fly, before I set up the AS3

Wish I could help, but never had an RC float plane.
I do want to explore this phase of modeling, so I’m watching with curiosity and hoping to learn!

Check out this FAQ from Seaplane Supply. Lots of good information and he has a link to another excellent article from chuck cunningham.

I finally got a few planes built and assembled for a few others. Now I can spend the rest of the week on my AL-37. I have got the fuse together and started dome of the painting and installing Decals. I hope to have it done this week end if I do not have to go out on call. Looking good so far

I have both sides done with window and the door decals on. Now for some more paint

Well cut the front of another plane to make the engine fit the cowl. Had to cut it back 35mm more than normal but that is what the numbers came out at.
Need to make a firewall to fit into the fuselage.

 

[Snoopy1]

The firewall to rough cut and all the laminates are glued up now just a matter of time I can get to it to make all the holes and hand fit it to the fuselage.

 

[AKNick]

Makes sense since they’re owned by Horizon. Or, are you saying it’s not user friendly?

Man... playing on the website now. I honestly cannot find airplane tires unless I know specifically what I need. The old tower site had a tab specifically for airplane tires. The coupon codes are smaller and don't work that well, and I cannot get free shipping apparently. another e-mail sent
