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

[thurmma]

Yes, I will agree with that

You guys are whats known as enablers.......... Ahh, what the heck. Do it Mike, it's only time and money.

Yep. That's the problem. My time is in short supply. Too much time in the workshop = not enough time at the field. I'm sure @cbarnes0061 will win the fight in the long run, But I'm going to try and fend him off till Winter building season kicks in.

I tell you what I will make you a deal. You buy two of the same kit send them to me. I keep one and then ARF the other one up and send it to you. The current ones I'm building that's how I got them. Kinda the way most of the bros who build work things out. A kit for a kit. I'm pretty 40 size slab can normally be shipped for around $20.

Very tempting. But I'm sure I'll be wanting something to build myself for this winter. What do you recommend for a good electric profile? Something that would fly off a 3s 850-1300mah battery.

I didn't have much time in the workshop tonight. Had to mow grass after work. But I did manage to do some rehab work on my Flyzone Switch. After flying all last weekend off taller than normal grass do to all the rain we've been getting, the landing gear and prop was looking a bit shabby. I installed some new gear, taller wheels, new prop and tossed the beat-up wheel pants. It should be better suited for the grass now.

I will ask around for that size. My ChubCub flys great off of a 1300 3S but no one has kitted it yet. I would be happy to provide plans if you wanted to scratch build one. The sabre35 ARF from value hobbies is also a great choice for that size. I will PM you with other choices once I ask around.

Thank you kind sir.

By now it may be apparent that I have a slight addiction to profiles. This is a wild tiger and as it sits right now I only have 5-1/2hrs into the build and roughly 30 more minutes before covering can start going down.

There are a lot worse things to be addicted to.

What I did in my shop (last night)..........I finally brought home my FREEBIE kitchen cupboards/countertops for my shop. They are wood grain brown with blue formica tops. I'm going to paint the cabinets black and put drywall over the countertops so I can use it as a small workbench. I needed some new storage area. It was a small kitchen unit...about 85inches in length, so about the right size for what I want to use it for. Pictures will be posted later when I get home.
