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

    Thank you. I'm happy with how it turned out. The one I saw had little antennas sticking out the front as well but I liked it better without them and they would have made it harder to use as well.

    All done. To get the look I was going for which is still seeing the wood grain through the finish I just used some water and green food coloring. Worked like a charm.

    No airplane work for a bit. Gotta get some things built for the wife for Christmas. First up is turning an old stapler into a grasshopper stapler. All the wood is from an old 2x4. Just used my jointer to make two side nice flat and square to one another and then ripped a bunch of 1/8" wide...

    Scale 25% Krier Kraft build, a tribute to grampa.

    I would think going with 1/4-20 hardware you would be fine just tapping the wood and wouldn't need any blind nuts in it.

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

    Look in the I'm going out flying thread I have two videos posted there. Reason I went with sheeted foam fuse is pretty much any slab I have seen over 20cc size and even some of the 20cc ones have hella tail twist when rolling. Just really no way to stiffen up a built up surface enough when there...

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    Been a while since I did any posting but here are a couple videos of my newest design and scratch build. 55cc edge profile. I'm loving it so far but need to get more time on a calm day and need some stronger servos on the ailerons.

    Sport JTEC RADIOWAVE 26% Pitts Model 12

    Thank you. They were great flying planes. I have since sent the purple one to a kid in FL who is the son of a probro buddy. He should get much enjoyment out of it.

    I did both of these on the glass. It was all pieced together on the glass as well so it all went on as one sheet.

    Sport JTEC RADIOWAVE 26% Pitts Model 12

    Yup I do the same thing except I cut mine out of dollar tree poster board. Once I have that cut right I just spray water down on a piece of glass. Lay the covering color side up down and the water holds it to the glass really well. Then I lay my template out over the covering how I want it and...

    It's this stuff right here. Works great and basically cleans the crap off the tip. It comes with some double sided foam tape and I have it stuck to the top of my soldering station. http://www.mcmaster.com/#soldering-iron-tip-tinners/=14d7vnq

    First thing I always do once my iron is heated up is dip it in my container of tip tinner.
