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

[AKNick]

Now that the shop is absent of birds needing some (Except one unruly misbehaving one needing tough ).
The shop is at my disposal to dispose of the ugly kitchen ceiling and finish out the rest of the living room. Then the entire house will have something new for me to stare at . But boy materials are so expensive. The pic of the acoustic tiles and other minor materials would have bought and paid for a DA70 much less a DA50 .

Lol birds of a feather my friend, just started installing some 4ft LED tube light replacements that bypass the ballast... no more buzzing and supposedly 65% energy savings woot woot. I can really see in the garage much better!!!

So I replaced the plug cap in my dle35, and a new cm6 plug. If the weather lifts and it stops raining I'll try and fire up the beast again and see if that solved my problem with the engine quitting once leaving idle. If not I'm swapping out the clunk to make sure.

View attachment 98394 Well, I ran into a snag installing the mufflers on the DA-120. The gaskets that came with the engine and mufflers fit the engine perfectly. The picture shows the gasket on the muffler. Not sure how to make those screw holes line up!

Throw away that paper gasket and go buy some Ultra Copper.

More covering put down. This is the bottom of the wing.

I'm guessing the mufflers are for a 100, not a 120?

I wish it were that easy. I didn't find this until I tried temporarily mounting the mufflers to cut the cowl. There was no way the screw holes were going to line up to install the 2nd screw!

That could be?? We shall see. I emailed Desert Aircraft the pic and explained the situation.

Must of been a mistake. They do have compact mufflers specifically for the 120.....

See.....these are listed for the 120 but say 150 on the jpg pic lol

Got all the parts for my Yak Will be fitting them to the airplane next week, hoping for a re-maiden and some time on the engine Saturday 8/26, and then pack everything back into the van the following Sunday to leave the following Tuesday for TriCities.
