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

    Theses are nice. http://greatplanes.com/accys/sanders.php Or you can put a stopping block on your table and take some passes over it with a sanding block.

    British Airways Freewing AL37 RC twin 70mm EDF Airliner

    Been looking at that AL37. Flies in high alpha! Holds up in torture testing too. Storage would be the issue with me! Looks like a fun jet!

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

    Needs some fine tuning. But the trim is basically done. It’s a lot harder to do scale strips on a square fuselage than I anticipated. I hate to admit that I cheated a lot....... cut covering to patch and make the lines strait. This ain’t no show model, but it’ll look sweet flying. I just need to...

    Getting more done on the super otter. Taking a while!! It’s it a good or bad thing that my motivation to finish is to build more planes??

    Discussion The I’m Going/Went Flying Thread

    Yeah... felt abrasive. Turned into a debate which wasn't what I was aiming to do after not flying for 2.5months and getting the opportunity to leave the house without the 3mo old for a couple quick flights. I try not to be abrupt... but he kindof poked the bear ha ha ha Thanks!! I'll have to...

    Discussion The I’m Going/Went Flying Thread

    I can't say that I have run into that. Wintertime I'm usually flying electric, and to be honest a lot of foam. I did a test with a radio mitt. With and without. Without I lasted about 4 min. With it lasted the whole 7-8min flight and was feeling pretty good. I didn't have much insulation in...

    Excellent question. It loves crankshafts.... elevator not so much! The tail was CA'd in place... so it was bound to happen. Tri-Stock on both sides as of today. I will cover it back up later.

    Sport Restoring A Different Laser

    Picture worthy for sure! What a beaut! Sounds like the builder went was meticulous, show quality and a flier. Why the change from the DLE61 to the 3W55? Which MKS servos?

    The 120" TBM looks like FUN... except for transporting. I have a MMW Beaver kit!!! I have not started to build it, as my Otter is still in the build stage.

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

    Thanks Guys! I'm absolutely fond of her! I would say the 84" TBM and the 110" Timber are in a different class due to size, weight, and powerplants. The TBM is purposely built electric thus it is light. It has fiberglass struts, superb quality control and engineering. They are planning on making...

    Had a little helper (not much help if any) in the shop. More like a supervisor. I think she said it isn’t airworthy yet. So back at it another evening.

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

    Busted out some skis I made years ago for a plane that is no longer with me. Got me thinking! My 84” TBM could use them. My original design uses some car shocks (TMAXX) and I just finished printing some holders to mount to the gear legs. I’ll have to fit and secure everything now. The green...
