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

Ok just picked this up the post office had to pay the stupid tax on it. Man that makes stuff expensive for us up north 30% exchange on the money and then another 13% tax. It is starting to get a little out of hand, that is the price of doing business. It get close to double the price after shipping on top of that.
Anyway I thought I would share these pictures with you, it is a thing of beauty. Very nicely bone and finished. It is a 50cc four stroke engine from Gaui.

Sweet Snoop. If you have never had on of the gas four stroke's you may not go back after you run it....
I ordered another Valach yesterday for an upcoming build, a 140cc.

I have never owned a gas four stroke. This engine belongs to a close friend he has given the motor to me to play with and get it running and setup. He is to busy right now to play with it. But I have owned many glow four stroke engines. OS, Saito and YS and still flying them.

I belive it to be a very good deal. But for the wrong person. Good try but I am sorry I have to refuse.

Ok Snoop......I know what the Valach 140 will be hauling around one day but what about your Gaui 50?
Both engines are gorgeous.

Not sure right now bo not have anything to put in. Just going get it set up started and running and tuned up, hopefully by then we will have something to put it in. One thing I know it will not be in a 3D plane. The motor is heavy and with the starter and all the accessories required to make the starter work that will add another pound.

That is one precision tool and it does have multiple uses. I think we all have one they are great.

So it's Sunday. Rain moved on but left the wind to freshen things up. Way to windy to fly but I did open up some windows and let that spring air come inside. Motivated me to build something "scratch" in my most favorite shop of all........

A tender delicious Chicken Marsala with portabella mushrooms and a creamy Pasta Alfredo. And a local dark to wash t down.
Uhmmmm sooooo goooood. I'm actually high right now .
