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

Yeah they all have their good years and bad years. I know I will prolly never buy new again and always research what I'm buying before hand.

I have no brand loyalty anymore. And for me that's a big thing since I've had LOTS of cars. I bought, fixed, drove and sold (in today's slang, flipped) Camaros, Chevelles, Novas, Corvettes and many Chevy trucks and others for many years. I owned more than 25 cars before I was 25 years old. I've owned a total of 57. The vast majority were GM products, mostly Chevrolets, but I have owned a few Fords and one Jeep. Nowdays I just don't care. Too old and crabby I guess.

I'm a Toyota diehard but having a good bud who is a Toyota master tech has me leery of any 2018 model or newer....

In other news, I won a Pulse 25E in a raffle this weekend!!! Our club held a raffle for NMAD on Saturday and this was the grand prize. I always being skeptical about raffles had pretty much resorted myself to coming home empty handed when they called my numbers

It's got a Himax HC-4220-770 spinning a Falcon 13x6.5 Beechwood propeller. I have a Castle Creations Edge 50 HV that'll go in it, and the plan is to fly it on HS-5245MG servos. ThunderPower 4s 3300 for power.

Just a quick question does a 120 cc size aircraft fit in Honda Pilot or a Toyota Highlander.if someone has a picture that would be helpful, thanks

Well you'd need a hundered or so inches in length. That might be a tall order for those.

Fit my PRC 107" Yak 54 inside our old 2006 Highlander all the time. With rudder and all.

Finished helping my buddy set up his AR12310T Rx in his used but new to him 3DHS 105" Edge 540 w a DA120. I almost forgot just how powerful that DA is until he started it and had the throttle servo reversed . Glad he was lightening fast on the kill switch .

We going to go fly it tomorrow afternoon .

It fits in his Chevy Equinox with the stabs removed so I would strongly think it would fit the Toyota and Honda.

Thanks for that. Still looking for a new vehicle and I was thinking of getting rid of my planes above 120 size and then I do not have to buy another mini van and get something like a Honda Pilot.

Had a few minutes last night, so I decided it was time for my first engine start with the Python. Buttoned everything up, drug it outside and tied the tail to a nearby fence post. Happy to report the DA started easily and purrs like a kitten. Tune is close, so a small tweak will be necessary. Was getting dark, so I didn’t fool with it last night. Back in the shop, spent a few minutes with the Wash Wax. Nice and shiny! Still need to finish the programming and setting control throws. Getting closer...

Been messing with the Multiplex Mentor a lot lately. My girlfriend is wanting to fly bigger airplanes now and the Mentor is a perfect step up from her UMX Timber. So I put a SAFE receiver in the Mentor Backdoor programming of the AR636A receiver has been a fun learning experience and I think I got the airplane just about dialed in, I hope
