Yippee! What the postman brought

[AKNick]

Its my first gasser so I'll be viewing another build thread. AKNICK's build thread as a matter of fact

You can add your progress on my build thread (encouraged!!) Still love the plane, and has been my go to plane for the last year! Happy to give any guidance. Pictures are a must! What scheme did you go with?

One of the guys at the field showed up one day with some new 6S 5000 packs. I don't remember what company they were from. They were pre-wired with EC5 connectors, but instead of the contacts being both female on the battery, they were wired with one male and one female. That was a WTF moment for sure.

I’m not surprised at all. Everyone wants to do things their own way and dam to the rest of us.

Well fellas, its official. An official reality that is. Until tonight, I had four large boxes of pre cut wood formers, balsa sheets, sticks and fiberglass parts. I also had a marvelous Austrian made engine. No big. But now? As of tonight, the United Parcel Smashers driver brought me a perfectly unscathed cardboard box. Not so much as a rub. Good job UPS. No, really! Inside that perfectly unscathed cardboard box? Some complete awesomeness for the Behemoth Stang to perch her magnificently sculptured shape upon.

Just about the sexiest legs I've seen in a good long while. She be have some big footy prints at the end of those legs. 7" mains. Whoa! And really not that bad weight wise.


So the Behemoth Stang is becoming a reality at last. 25 years I've been waiting and planning and wishing.... its finally going to happen.

I've seen full scale aircraft parts that are not as sexy as those!

My favorite filler ran out a couple of years ago, time for a fresh can.

The only way those pics could be better would be a partially framed Stand in the background.....

I was sitting here starring at this screen and the driveway alarm went off. I peeked out the window and there come's a UPS truck, no biggy except there are no scheduled packages for today that I know of. I met the driver at the sidewalk and he hands me this box, it is a printer. I brought it in and yelled to the wife "When did your printer die"? She said, "It didn't, I bought you one so you can quit asking me to do things" and chuckled with a schit eating grin. So thanks to my wonderful wife I now have a printer, scanner, fax, and god knows what else it will do. I guess I can throw my dinosaur, only prints when it wants to, do nothing else, printer away.

Ha! I just learned that for some images that my LT will not open the printer will convert. Ok, I am liking this thing so far.
