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

[stangflyer]

I epoxied the top of the engine box back on my Extra tonight. I also added some triangle stock to to the top of the firewall. It's obvious why it came off if you look at the picture of the top plate. It's upside-down in the photo and it's clear they had no glue at all on the tabs that lay on top of the sides where all the good glue area is. I still have some clean up to do, but I think it will stay on this time.

Nicely done brother. Very nicely done indeed.

Let’s face it if that top plate comes of again you definitely hit something. Like the red plates on the tank that hold the fuel lines. Do you make them.

Tail Anchor.

Come on Fellas, get your minds out of the gutter. . . . . . . . . The mail man dropped off the Sullivan Tail Anchor I ordered last week.

It's a very well made unit that I really like for the most part. I may need to do something with that black post to make it longer, but I will use it some to see how it works.

Me being an Old Salt...…..Mind in the gutter.....Don't you mean "Tail Hook"???...…..

I had forgotten where I got that tank mount so I had to check. It came from 3D Hobbies, and it's made by M.A.D. Fab.

Hey Mike,

That's an awesome generator. Especially for that price. . . . . . How much fuel did you use?

Burned about 6.5 gallons. I’m sure I would have burned more if I had to run the A/C. But it was so cool this weekend that I actually had to turn the furnace on for a while Sunday morning.

Still running the A/C 24/7 down here...….

I took a sweatshirt to the field with me Sunday. I never put it on, which is the perfect temperature day. Cool enough in the morning that you think you may need one.

Mine at home hasn't been off either. I'm not going to go around opening all the windows just to close them and turn the air on in the afternoon. It has a thermostat, if it needs to run, it will, if not it won't. I'm way to lazy to keep opening and closing windows.

Built family memories this past weekend in Utah. As most know we adopted our little girl back in January. Shortly after we where put in contact with the family in Utah that adopted her older brother. This past weekend we went out for his third birthday and what a treat it was.

Most might know but I didn't. Adoption is a wonderful thing to do. Kudos to you. Just in case:

Kudo
noun, plural ku·dos for 2.

1. honor; glory; acclaim:No greater kudo could have been bestowed.
2. a statement of praise or approval; accolade; compliment, one kudo after another.

Spent most of the day cleaning and putting things away. I have gotten a little lax from the previous projects and my house was looking really quite bad. I really need a shop. LOL. That said, I did get the wing harness strung in the wing of the little Blue Nose tonight. And I got the aileron servos in and pretty much all done. Now just need to make the connection from the aileron control rod to the servo. Flap servos are in place. A couple of hours and the blue nose will be ready for a new voyage. Gas powered style.

I couldn't resist fellas. I just can't help myself. It is a sickness, I know. And I am not so sure I want to be cured. I invited another really good lookin' red head to come live with me tonight. She asked if I have any others or if she is the "ONLY" one. Well, I couldn't lie to her. I told her that though there were others and she would have really good company, there is also plenty of "ME" to go around. She said as long as they are red heads, (or of the 3w persuasion) she didn't mind sharing.

I have a plan for her already. Not sure the 157cs is going to like it. But that is ok. I am "SURE" I will dream up something for the bad ass baby sister red head. LOL

I wished I collected 3W CS engines.............................
