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

Well it is done and it is huge, right now how I feel I do not think I will build another plane this big. It may change my mind once I fly the plane and they do not look as big at the field. But it looks huge in the house and trying to move it around nuts. The photo is with out the wings just to difficult to do, and most probably could not stand far enough away to get it all in.

Well I'm sure you've heard me say it a million times by now, but the 73" AJ Laser is my favorite 35cc plane out there. You are going to have an excellent flying aircraft there!

With all this crap going on in Canada and not being able to fly, I just don't feel like building or doing anything With model planes. That is not good. Sorry for complaining.

Oh I hear you. Many of us are just using common sense when it comes to flying and the rules lately even in the USA. It's concerning they have started to make violation fees though. With it being such a hot topic for a while I would recommend in the mean time to get into some sub 250g stuff and keep flying while still being legal according to TC. You'll find it super fun. My 1.5M Falcon DLG is 231g RTF!!! Also lots of other micro kits out there that are a hoot.

Last week I started restoring an old Trainer. It's an old version one of the Great Plane PT-40. Did some repairs and now the fuse is getting some fresh color on it. I think it has been 3 year or more since I last held a covering iron in my hand. Forgot how much fun it was.

That’s looking a lot better

I have the fuse only of an Eagle II (?) that I built in the late 80's. I found a wing of a few years ago and made my son build it. He stopped when the wing was half covered and he met his first girlfriend. Finishing that project is on hold these days.

Fuse is done except for the little strip around the nose where I didn't leave enough overhang on that side. Moved on the tail bits. While I love covering I forgot how much of a pain it was to cover around parts that are already glued to an airframe.

 

[TonyHallo]

The stab and fin are a pain in the asre for sure.

Thanks for finding those planes, I would hate to think that this is what it has come to in Canada.

No problem. The angel wing design planes are fun builds. My Pugv2 was a very fun build and flies pretty darn good for a baby dlg

I doubt it’s come down to this permanently. I think a lot of this has come down to integrating the airspace quickly for commercial UAV’s and the recreational fliers like us will eventually become integrated properly. But the only way for the governments to do it quickly was to (wrongly) blanket regulate unfortunately.
