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

That's actually a smaller pile of parts than I was expecting.

After the thump it made hitting the ground I have to agree.

It looks like the torque tube bearing slid all the way back to the tail rotor and judging by the wear marks the torque tube was flailing around pretty good in the tail boom. That couldn't have been good.

since Matt Chapman is kinda-sorta a friend of the site I'm thinking we'll replace the Embry Riddle text with GIANT SCALE News .Com in the same layout so from a distance it'll look like Matt's scheme but up close you'll be fooled into reading our site name!! Diabolical!!

i might do something funky on the bottom but quick and dirty across the top

Stupid rain just won't quit!

I painted my shop fridge too. I used a hammered black paint and it worked great.

Removed all of the old firewall and landing gear repairs and reinforcements. Have to re-do some of the inner plywood doublers that got torn up when the front end was wrecked. Stuff is missing that needs to be in there!

i gave my shop fridge to my buddy Mark when it looked like we wouldn't have room in the house we were moving into.....but then that house deal fell through and my fridge was already gone!

My fridge was a nasty brown color. Picked it up from one of my fellow club members and it worked great, just needed a paint job.

there was enough 1" cove moulding in there to trim out a small house! but the guy overlooked replacing the plywood where it was damaged.

there's a saying from the British car community, "above all he cursed.......previous owner!"
