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

[49dimes]

Spent the day with my flying buddy he asked if we could put our heads together and see if we can make sense of a set of drawing he got for some 65 inch Edomite floats. Well I can say is good luck the drawings are crap very difficult to read and make no sense. And trust me I can read a drawing. Anyway he going to pull his hair out trying build those floats.

Anyway while there he asked if I could take a look at the plane he did a little damage too. And if it would be possible to fix it for him seeing was up to neck in these floats well you can see what I brought home really starting to think that I got my self into a pile of sh**. Ok will see what I can do for him.

Just tell him you are going to need 600 bucks for a big box of "complete" parts and that will have him going again .

I think you are correct, striped everything and cleaned it up there is not much to go by. A big box would make life a lot better. Going to see if a new fuselage is available and the cost and see what he thinks. There’s really not much to work with.

Looking good all the joints good and tight. I bought a glider a little while back and really enjoyed it, what I should say it was half glider and half slope soaring plane and it was fast , had some radio problems and lost the plane. Looking to get another one. Lesson learned do not use other people radio junk it gets expensive.

If you want to build a kit this one I got is great. Good price and the fit and finish is amazing. I got it with their recommended motor, folding prop, and servos. It has a crazy fast climb rate but will slow down to a crawl.

Would have been really interested two weeks ago but right now I have Factor30cc from GP to fix which will take some time and I have pulled out of storage kit I bought many years back a Extra 33% from GP a kit that I have started to take a very close look at to build.

Very interesting.

Order yourself one and get to building.
