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

[Snoopy1]

Got my mind off food just long enough to get the Cub gear as it was and started working on the damaged cowl (again ).

Went ahead and pulled the dummy continental ( needed repair too) and getting ready to paint and install the cooling shrouds.

Well the gear looks good again, must be that precision tool you used.

Got this nice old gal back in flying condition. Engine was serviced with new bearings by YS service guru Rich Verano, swapped out a few sloppy servos, installed a freshly made A123 1100mah 2S pack from taildraggerrc.com, and gave it a good cleaning so it can continue to make daddy smile with monster sized loops for what I hope will be years to come.

It's a Hydeout, 2 meter pattern plane, designed by world class pattern champ Chip Hyde. I think I paid about $225 for it with the YS 140 four stroke and servos. My buddy Bill had it for a couple of years and he decided to replace it with a GP Sequence (big mistake!) so I got it back and I love it!

Used my "ultra precision" bender to straighten back the Cub gear......Don't know what I would do with out it...

sure, there are some great restored Cubs out there but there are plenty that have been flown a lot and your gear being banged into place makes them look a lot more scale! Nice!

I can't fly pattern but I love that plane!

Nor can I. Can't hold a "line" worth a hoot. Why do you think "freestyle" was introduced .

Now you're talking @Bartman . . . . . .

Got the cooling shrouds painted and installed on the dummy continental. Repaired all the damage to it as well. Will have to make a completely new exhaust for it once the new four stroke engine is installed on the plane. Tried to "stress" the paint to give it that weathered look by adding a bit more paint by brush stroke after rubbing the finish with a soft cloth before it was completely dry. Still have to add some rivet detail.
