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

[49dimes]

Here is a TF P-51 with the F50.......My buddies TF 51 with DLE55 weighs 24.5 pounds so I imagine the one in the vid is close to that.

Got my new box of Jet Foam in today . It beat the CAP motor coming back and will probably beat the DJ72 as well .

Got the 72 boxed back up and Avanti S unboxed. Very nice 80mm sport EDF foamy . A bit of work to do with it starting with programming the Aura 8 and tucking it inside the fuse with two remote DSMX RX's. Going to re route some wiring too and clean up the battery bay. I have read some reports that guys have hit 140mph with the stock 12 blade fan using 70C 6S packs! Oh boy! one and IB getting another one .

Somehow managed to hit the powerlines this last weekend, I just barely skipped the right wheel off of them. But it was enough to crack the gear plate loose, and crush some of the siding. Pulled the left side loose in January, and now the right side. Didn't even notice until I went to break the airplane apart, thought I had just broke the wheel pant off.

Onto the bench. Guess I hit them harder than I thought...

Reoriented much of the balsa and ply and saturated everything with thick and thin CA since there was enough gap to get epoxy in. Hopefully it'll be enough to hold for a long time..

The only thing I need now is some white covering to cover up the repairs. Since the stock wheels are giving out, and there's a big chunk missing from one wheel that made contact with the powerline, I opted to fit my White Rose wheels and axles. UPGRADE BABY!!

Now I just need to get new pants on

I didn't believe it until I investigated further. Wheel must've just barely skipped across the top of the cable.

I'm blinded by everyone's flash of brilliance.
