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

[pawnshopmike]

This afternoon @Decal Dennis and I took a little road trip to pick up my SR9 Stinson from Redwing RC. I opted for Redwing's build service so we went by Bob "The Builder" Schepple's house to pick it up. As soon as we got it home, the modifications began!

First thing we did was pull the cowl so we could get at the DLE 40 Twin. After that I mostly watched as Decal Dennis got straight to business. First thing he did was pop in a set of Bowman rings. Next was the reed block mod. After that Dennis started tidying up the wiring.

Stay tuned!

I have been meaning to do the reed block mod to both of my DLE 55's but never have gotten around to it and from what I have been reading no one will be doing bowman rings any longer. That plane sure is pretty.

That's sad to hear. Did Frank retire?

From what I have read yes he is retiring. Haven't heard that its for sure official yet but it is what I have heard.

That's sad that nobody is continuing the business.

The cool thing about the transplant is it bolted straight in to the 3W-150 spot! No modifications needed Will be in the air today. Just realized it is Sunday already

Your Profile Brother Bob told me that when I picked up the plane. I was bummed to hear it. Glad I ordered my rings a couple months ago.

How well does the twin fit inside the cowl?
