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

    I would assume you posted from an iPhone. Mine will do that if I post directly from my phone. Generally just email them to myself and upload from my computer to prevent it from happening.

    Well I said I was gonna wait but I just couldn’t resist. Man this thing is a hoot. Even got my first dork out of the way. Got nine batts charged and ready for my lunch break tomorrow.

    Crack Turbo Beaver is RTF. Very happy with my first ever twisted hobbies build. Everything fit perfect. Should get a maiden in tomorrow during my lunch break if all goes well. I would try today but i glued the wing on this morning so I want that joint to have a full 24 hours to cure.

    Probably committing a cardinal sin slapping an Eflite motor into an Extreme Flight airframe but it’s what I got. Now to sell some stuff to afford servos for it.

    Thanks. I'm looking forward to getting it in the air. Got a couple motor and ESC combos I can try in it but will have to order servos.

    I was the postman by picking this up but should be fun. 48” V2 extreme flight edge. The engineering that went into these things is amazing.

    Festool is pricy. I know one of the guys I used to follow all of his builds on over on FG had a big belt sander for his business that he used when laying up sheeting

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

    How big is the plane? Honestly though being a glider using covering as a hinge should work just fine. I have done it on a few of my smaller 3D Profiles with success. And I would do it the opposite way though like our DLG's are done. bevel the top and let it hinge from the bottom so if you want...

    I love it when the Laser cutting guy emails and says the wood you sent showed up a little while ago. The parts are now boxed up and ready to send back.

    It looks awesome thats for sure. Seems to be a fair price for how big of a biplane it is.
