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

I was hoping to be able to post in the "Im going flying thread" but unfortunately 15 plus mph winds. Considering I didn't want to fly my yak without anyone else there in case something happened.
I now am posting my what I did in my workshop. I reorganized to have more room in the garage. It just so happen that the build table ended up beside the refrigerator. LOL! Along with that I made a little area the girls can paint.
Everything is set now so hope I can get some airplane work done. Here is some pics.

Working on a 42% PAU Extra... the standard elevator design incorporated two servos per elevator half... I want to use a single servo per elevator half, neither existing servo location was ideal for doing this... so, needed to add a more central location for the servos...

Finished up Sukhoi #3. Retired #2 (seen under the counter) after 1000+ flights and planning to recover in my own scheme over the winter.

Not much lately going on. Did get my headers, hardware and RE3's ordered for the New DA 170 that is going in the Sukhoi. Hot damn, So excited. Since my trailer is still three weeks out from being built, I had to borrow a friends trailer to retrieve my next "BIG" plane from California. Thanks Mr. Vargas. @Rooman needs to get home so he can send me the 3w275 csts for that monster. LOL.... Got a feeling this upcoming year is going to be a smashing good time.

This was more than just last night, but... First time I have tried installing canisters, using RE3's with the Comfort mounts.. as others have said, these mounts can be a challenge to install. After looking at the space and scratching my head for a day or two, I decided to just open up the bottom and give myself a little more access to work with.... measured everything up, did a little cad drawings, cut out some stuff on the laser and it actually fit ! mostly.. one mistake is I left the comfort mounts a little too close together.... so, I cut a little spacer to help hold them apart...

Now I need to find a short exhaust extension that fits the ends of the RE3's... any suggestions ?

That toy rider car in your picture brings back some good memories of a funny Christmas vid my ex-wife did of our oldest son's reaction on Christmas morning. When played in FF mode it was hilarious to watch him run around it, in it, on it, over it, under it!lol.
