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

I'm not overly satisfied with not being able to find a matching blue, but I think this'll do just fine.

Do you know if that is Oracover or Ultracote? Because I can get you the right color. I have a chart sent to me by the president of Ultracote. He sent me the complete file that shows the cross reference from Ora to Ultra.

Last night I continued the venture of switching from pull-pull to push-pull on the rudder of the 330LX. Found out that I didn't have long enough turnbuckles so, had to order 2 6" turnbuckles from SWB. Chief Aircraft showed $15.00 for the price but, when you added it to the cart the price went to $15.95! Also, their minimum order was $20.00 and their shipping was over $11.00 for the same exact shipping that I paid $7.95 for from SWB.

Yes, that is also why I did not order mine from them. If you had let me know you needed some, I would have been happy to send you a couple. I have a stash of numerous sizes.

That's there is one of those removable counterbalances. Gonna have to break out the packing tape and thin CA. Oh and if you notice you can see the packing tape already holding the counterbalance on on the other side.

Neat trick...you trying to turn it back into.....wait for it....wait for it. "BALSA DUST"? Sorry dude, just couldn't resist. Ya know, a little 200 mph Nascar tape and you could be back up flying. Just sayin'.

Thank you for the offer Rob! Hopefully mine will be here on Friday. We are starting a lot of rain in the forecast starting the 27th through the 4th of April so hoping I can get it int he air this weekend.

Don't worry I repaired it when I got home and put a couple more flights on it in the yard

It's Chinacote, so far this seems to be a one-off color.
