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

Nothing is ever easy:-/

I would have thrown something

It's all fixed now, but you are correct mike... Never has a single person told me building a fence was fun! I get the added bonus of working around glacial deposits... which means large random rocks.

Noticed some roof rusting on my rc trailer and decided to repair it. First a gallon of metal trailer roof paint. Some rust bled through so I kept painting. Added another layer of oil based exterior enamel paint and it looks good.

So they make a special paint for trailer roof's?
Who would have thought? That looks to be a rather large trailer.

 

[dhal22]

Yes on special trailer roof paint. Trailer is 14' x 7'. I have 5 planes inside now with room for more if I wanted.

A little bit of free time this week. Slowly moving my mill to its future home. Had to cut a larger opening at my shop and lean the mill head over.

Thinking about switching my 3w106 out for a da120 since I have both. Idling issues caused me a broken landing gear and prop on my pilot 35% Yak today. I think it's time to swap them out. Removing the da 120 from another plane I tore the landing gear out on three or four years ago.

 

[TonyHallo]

Did the 3w idle good before?

 

[dhal22]

I've had that 106 for 12-15 years, it's in its 3rd Yak since I've owned it. Gerhard has serviced it a few times, I use the same box and send it in every few years. I'll send it in again, the meantime I want to try the DA120.

Goodies showed up for my 65” turbo duster today. Need a few spacers to get the motor out to where it needs to be.

I knew going in but the servos I got are slightly smaller than the spot they need to go in. 3D printer to the rescue.
