The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread
Built a wing this morning. Should be making @pawnshopmike all giggly and happy like a school girl when he sees it. Interesting thing on this build is the wing construction though. In the first pic you can see where a piece of carbon fiber tow is glued to the main spar of the wing. This makes...- BalsaDust

They are kinda like decals. The kit came with a print out of two different size eyes. I just cut out the size I thought looked best and used won BSI foam safe glue to stick them on. Real decals would have been better though.- BalsaDust

She is all done. Nailed the CG on the first placement of the lipo with plenty of room to shift for and act if needed. All that's left is to call my buddy in the morning and see when he wants to get it.- BalsaDust

Wings and Fuse of the foamie bird is all painted up. Now I just have to give the paint time to dry fully and I can glue the tail on and stuff it. Should have it ready in a few hrs.- BalsaDust

Yeah it's a pretty cool little plane. A buddy had it sent to me about 6 months ago and told me to take my time. Well I forgot about until he asked the other day. Should be RTF by Monday afternoon.- BalsaDust

Not much again today. Made up a throttle servo mount and got it glued in place. All that's left is to install the elevator and wait for the engine to show up. Once it gets here I can build a tray hold the battery and receiver in the right place for balance. Any one happen to know the CG of a...- BalsaDust

Sport Restoring The Laser
Haha bud you don't have to worry about flying my stuff. I let pretty much anybody fly my stuff and I have a rule for myself when it comes to people flying my stuff. If I offer it to them to fly and they crash well then shame on me. My slabs I really don't care about anyways. I beat them all to...- BalsaDust

Sport Restoring The Laser
Might this be the one your buying? If so I know the guy. Really cool dude and a member of my club. Never seen the plane in person but everything he has brought to the field is always clean and in good shape. How far away from the Petersburg area are you? Just asking as we could always meet up...- BalsaDust

The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread
Not much done last night. Did install some swervos and then cut a new windshield for the Kadet. Just laid the 25 year old crusty original over top of a 2 liter Pepsi bottle, traced it and marked screw holes and cut it out. I think its an improvement. Gotta get those wrinkles out of the covering...- BalsaDust

The I'm going out flying thread 2016
Took my 40 size profile out for a few flights today before heading to the grocery store. Fuel up get it running and I got that little piped 55ax screaming and running great. About 3 minutes into the first flight I notice it's wanting to start rolling to the right and won't snap or roll like it...- BalsaDust
