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

[HornetNZ]

Got my vert stabs glued in and their lights connected to the controller. Does anyone know if the red tail light is steady or pulsing on the full-scale f-15? I looked at as many vids as I could but cant tell. The last lights to do are the landing lights! The rudder and aileron hinges are glued, just have to glue the elevators and finish covering scheme.

Hehe I have been busy. Bed time now but first thing tomorrow morning I will flip the wing and sheet the other side of it and start framing the wing for the second plane. All the floppy bits are final sanded and the fuse needs just a little more sanding and it's ready to go.

This is why we call you "The Slab King". You're a building machine!

I got started on my rudder servo re-location on the Stinson. After careful measurement I decided this was the optimum location.

Luckily at the last minute I had a moment of clairvoyance and decided I better check for ribs and stringers. Good thing I did! There is a stringer running right along that black trim stripe.

So I started out cutting a small inspection hole.

I only had to shift the servo location upwards about 1/16th of an inch to clear the stringer.

That's as far as I got this morning before I had to head to work.

That's an interesting blade where you get it at.

I got mine at my hobby shop. Handy little booger. This is what they are. http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXKY31&P=ML

Last night I replaced the 72 MHz receiver in my trusty Trainer with a Spektrum receiver. Gonna be a Grandpa in May, so I'll have a new student in a couple years!

Also drilled out a new prop for my 50cc PAU Bulldog. Next up, Great Planes Kunai

I'm starting to think this might actually work!

Be sure to put some hard wood rails behind the sheeting.
