I know mine come from around my shop. tons of garden spiders and such running along the perimeter of my shop. At least they are not biting me.

Been a crappy month of shop work.
-Edge engine finally wouldn't start after years of hard starts. Found out from AI the hub was bad (bought it used many moons ago) and he was surprised it ever started.
-The Ulti Engine was backfiring, new ignition and went ahead with the new alum reed block since it was in for service.
-Smoke Jug pump (Kavan) was always slow, don't think it liked smoke oil. But it finally started smelling like it was burning and wasn't drawing fluid even after I cleaned it out. So I swapped over my Jet fuel pump since that is still on the back burner for now.
-Getting the Cub up and running this week and notice the years of flying have taken a toll on the china covering. I patched up a couple areas and swapped out the fuel tank with one from the PAU Viper (so now I need to order a new one) and am working on getting the batteries recharged. For ballast on this plane I used some 6cell LION 7.4v packs. They were pretty far down and it takes hours to charge them back up.

Next on the table is my 30% PAU Su-26 and my 42% Extra 300. Then I can really get into finishing up the Viper and building some faomie jets I have (F-16 rebuild in order and an A-10 with semi scale retracts)

No workshop time tonight, but it took all day long just to bring this bad boy home. Pretty excited about it, it's my first 40%.

On a side note, where do you guys source your carbon wing tubes from?

TNT makes good CV-tubes but the only problem is that it took just over 7 months to get. So if you need one now buy it from some body else.
