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

View attachment 100619 The conversion from 85 cc to 100 cc is done . Got the air ducting done today. Except for some minor stuff. Will run the engine on the test stand in the early spring. Mount the engine and do the final installation and balance with the batteries and do final weight check. And then enjoy the plane for the season.

Looks Great!

Mustered up some energy to fight off this bug and worked on the airplane this afternoon. Should be ready for a maiden this weekend, waiting on mufflers to show up tomorrow.

I did not like the adaptor I made for EC3 to XT60 connectors so I put to use some of my old electric parts. Now I feel comfortable that a solid connection will remain for the Rx batteries that are not accessed easily. Will be making some balance tab extensions for the two Rx packs also but I ran out of solder .

Not that you ran out of solder. Your adapters.
