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

[Snoopy1]

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.

That is looking real good just need to cover and some gear and it will be in the air. And seeing you live in CA you will be able to test it when it is finished and not have to wait for spring.

Please not trying to be to forward but if you plane to make a couple can you please keep me I mind would like to have one.

No problem Snoopy. I need to finish the redrawing the parts and double checking. Then will make a test run to ensure everything fits. Once that is done, will be happy to share.

Hoping I can use it as a quick lunch time get away!

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.

No problem bro. That’s what this thread is for anyway.

How fun would this be!!?!!! I think there will be a lot of interest including myself.

I would join in too but the thread page is 666 and I already got scared over some pretty threatening eyes.....

Ha! Well, I am working on some new cut files to have them laser cut. Might just be one in your future! LOL

In doing that might I recommend this. Looking at the fuse all the vertical supports are CNC cut and it remains one piece. Instead make notches in the outer rails of the fuse and lay the vertical supports down in the cut files. It will be a little more work to build but will be well worth it in strength as right now in my opinion those verticals are providing no strength at all with how the grain is running.

This is the only model airplane related work I've done so far in 2018. I drilled a few holes in an ammo can to make a Lipo box and did a bad spray can job with Rustoleum Hammered finish paint that didn't turn out hammered looking.
