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

I use air tool oil for all nitro engines , just a small squirt and flip it over a couple of time and your good for years .
Nitro engine are prone to have bearings go bad , the nitro fuel thats in the crankcase draws moisture towards to and then bearing issues start.

Well everything gets stored in my bone dry basement so hopefully that will offset some of the premature moisturizing

Do not see any insulation and vapour barriers, is that not required in your area.

Unfaced R13 insulation. Hard to see because it's brown. No vapor barrier.

Building a 66% Senoirita. Comes out to a 44" span and ubber light weight. Fuse as it sets in the picture is 1.23oz. Will get a blue wonder setup.
Been fun building it but takes a little time. All framework in the fuse is 1/8" square sticks so I'm using wood glue over ca as ca will wick into the wood to much and make the wood itself brittle

Looks like a cool little bird bro.

Thanks bro. I have a hangar out back for all my planes and toys. The house belongs to the wife.
Speaking of which, the ceiling was all her idea. It's white bead board paneling. We ripped it into strips about 14 1/2" wide. Then it's laid in between the engineered joist. Works out well. Still gives you access to wires and pipes and such cause you can just slide a panel out if the way. But you don't loose headroom like you would with a drop ceiling.

That's a great idea if only I can remember this some years down the road when I need it, looks good and I like idea.
