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

[BalsaDust]

Yeah don't be a dummy like me. Trying out the new wood Falcon prop just on the ground. Decided why not run it up and down the driveway to see how it pulls. Didn't have the wings on and when I went to turn the plane back to me after zipping down the driveway it rolled over. I guess at least I didn't have the canopy on to get jacked up as well. Not one of my smarter moments.

I see some fiberglass repair/ painting work in the near future.

Yeah I haven't decided yet if I should fix it or just order another one as a new cowl is only $31.

Order a new one, might have trouble painting it for $31!

Finished putting some FRP behind the mill's permanent spot. I was able to spin the 3000lb mill on the 1" pipes (carefully as I did not want it to roll off the pipes. Anyway, tentative spot up for discussion.

Are there chips in your future?

Yes, repair of slight damage during loading of the mill earlier this year that I will get to this week. Then match up plug in and receptical outlet and I should be able to turn it on.

Angled placement look OK?

 

[TonyHallo]

Looks great to me. No reason to access the rear?
