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

Good thing I own an essential business and live in the south. That lockdown crap would have been rejected by me instantaneously. Or I would be really locked down. My dual citizenship Canadian friend can toss a handgun in his glove box or in his pocket here but a few hours north and he would be in prison. BS if you ask me.

Been putting together a new foamy. My crack yak is getting the tar pounded out of it lately.
Jase Dussias JTA Innovations Slick 33” curious to see how she flies. Waiting on a couple things. Maybe in a week or so.

Hope you are kidding, I am just fed up with this lockdown. Just me but I am going flying after may the 19th. If I am there all alone I do not see what I am doing wrong.
Been to the field three times to roll it and mowed the grass. The flying field is in perfect condition, next time I go to mow the field I am taking a plane along .

Nope, not kidding. But I have already said the h#ll with it and went flying last weekend with four other guys.

Went out a few more times. No one complained about us being out there. I still have not flown a gas plane but had fun with my 3 cell electrics. We even let a few friends come up from the city to fly with us as their fields are all shut down. We all kept our distance but could still talk and razz each other! We had fun!

I still have a trainer from the late 80's that I built (minus the wing for some reason). Going to use it again as a trainer for my son but first a new wing. He assembled the wing last year, finally pushing him to finish it. Girlfriend, social life and college next fall means limited time so I'm pushing myself as well.

Anyway, here's his first monocote job underway.

This was fun. I told him not everything is easy. I waited a minute then handed him a patch piece and said ' separate it '. He tried, then stopped and looked at me. He got it.........

Oh good 'Ol monokote! The two pieces of masking tape method works well too. Stick on either side and peel away from each other.

That's too easy.

Got it all assembled and a basic program setup in my radio. I will slowly add to the program to give it all the mixes I would like to have but for now this will work. comes in at 56 ounces which is a bit porky but that's without me adding anything to it other than my rx and the recommended 2200mah 3S lipo. I'm looking forward to getting it in the air next week.
