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

I just run 93 octane from the pump. No problems. I also mix in stabilizer in all my fuel though

Sniff

So blenderm???
Also stripped a rudder servo...
high speed knife edge over asphalt did not fair too well. Need to work on my piloting skilz

After lots of very hard research, I decided the old faithful 74” edge 540T from extreme flight will be my replacement airframe for my 71” slick. Did not like the livery for the slick 580s and since the 74” edges are getting an update the only scheme that was left was the America version. I’m really thinking a minion dressed as capt America will the the ticket. Wanted the mxs 76/83” but from what I hear the 35 doesn’t give it a ridiculous climb out like the edges or slicks get to have and since I didn’t want to spend the cash on a DA50 or vvrc 40... left me with my choice! Phew!! I think too hard... sometimes I need to think less and fly more!

Run a bead of Welders or Foam-Tac along both sides and let it tack up for a couple minutes. Then press them together and hold for a bit. Then take a couple short strips of Blenderm and glue them on each end of the aileron as reinforcements. Blenderm doesn't stick to EPP very well by itself so that's why you have to glue it on.

You didn’t figure it all out as I hear nothing about bacon going on that cheeseburger.

Well spent a little time with the ViperST got the rudder glued in and the tail wheel mounted. Man that is a big rudder hope a 500 oz servo is enough to push it around

@ericrs which servos did you put in your ViperST.

I put MKS 777 on elevators and ailerons, MKS 380 on the rudder , and MKS 1250 on throttle.

The 777 on the elevator how well did the depth fit in the stabilizer. Did you have shim it up a little.
I am thinking of buying a 380 for the rudder how long is the arm on the rudder servo.
