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

[sweetpea]

Are you going to take the gloss off that covering or leave as is?

Here is what I did in my shop over the weekend!

Are you going to take the gloss off that covering or leave as is?

I haven't decided yet. Do you have a tried and trued method? I was thinking maybe a light dusting of Testors Dull Cote. But I've never tried it on covering.

 

[sweetpea]

Never tried but I thought 0 steel wool or scotch brite might work. Though I would worry about swirls

Got the fuse covered on the L4. Next up, gluing in the windows.

Ugh. This Canopy Glue is going to drive me to drinking! Oh wait. I always drink.

I am work8ng on the Extra 330 again because I landed to hard on a very soft field and the gear ripped out. So it is time for cannisters and going to dual rx and battery setup like I have in the big Edge.

Got this rascal ready to fly! It was my third glow plane and Lori flew it a few times. Been hanging in the hobby room since I sent my last glow engine packing about 5 years ago. Installed a 50 size electric, 60 amp esc and 4s 3000 pack. 13x4 and 12x6 acp to try out.

Cool! That's going to be a great fun flyer.

I've converted 3 old slimers to electric. It's a great way to breath new life into old birds that otherwise would probably never get flown again.

Rob is ( @stangflyer ) probably going to kick me where it counts if he finds out what is in the box! Lets just say the YS DZ 70 is perfect for it.
