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

[stangflyer]

Ok I have done it found my GP Extra 330L 33% kit that was purchased more than 10 years ago. Was cleaning up the shop and making space and throwing out old stuff that I will never use. Found the kit and have been staring at it for a few days. Found the drawings and the manual, read through the manual it is quite the build like the old days. Looked at the drawings cut them up and taped them together to make the full fuselage. Looking pretty good. Looks like with some rather big changes it can be made into a pretty good 3D machine I hope. But for sure it will keep me of the street for a long time. Measured the wing it is 101 inches. Pretty good size if it can be built for under 24 lbs with DA100L belive it should be ok for weight and size for some good tail dragging as @stangflyer would say. One the fuselage does look big and round almost like a P47. Looks like I am going to build the planes.

Is this the kit? If so, your 24 lb. target should be quite easy to achieve.

Tonight in the workshop I got started on another bookshelf for my daughter’s room. We should have never taught that kid to read. Costing us a fortune in books and shelves.

Crazy work schedule plus the holidays has slowed the mojo25 build considerably. Here it is in the bones. 8.5oz at this point. Added a light ply tray in the wing for the battery mount also. Hope to start covering after I get back from a trip for work.

Just think...when she outgrows her books and the bookshelves, you can attach some wings and a big ole "dub" and fly that baby.

That really looks nice. I can't wait to see it done. I think you should build me one. Look into my eyes....concentrate. "you must build another", "you must build another".

Ok gentleman I am not good at build threads and I am slow at building. And to answer @stangflyer question yes that is the plane and it one of those old fashione stick build kits that they give a ton of balsa and tell you to turn it into an aeroplane. I was hoping just to up date you gentleman every once in a while on what you do in your shop tonight, if that is ok.
