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

I say remove the spats and buy bigger panties. Never much cared for the look of spats but I guess it's fitting since I never much cared for the look of a Yak.

Hey @Bunky.F.Knuckle ,

Where did you find that engine mount? Do they make them for the bigger 3W's. I have never been a fan of individual stand-offs and spacers.

Thank you Sir.

Yep. Hate it when my panties are too small. Pinch my spare tire too much . I do like the wheels that my CHEAP HK plane offered up tho!
And to pour salt in to my tight fitting issue I gave away a bunch of panties that would have been a perfect fit.

I'm either going to take @HRRC Flyer suggestion and do the triple color scheme or just paint em black to match asphalt as @rmyers
stated.

I worked on my Pilot Edge tonight fixing some damage I did playing around landing in the wind.

I've got a tail wheel assembly coming from Chief, but I don't have much hope that I'll get it this week. They don't seem to ever get in a hurry. I may cobble it back together for the weekend with some carbon tow. I found a crack and some delamination on the main gear, so I wrapped it up with tow and soaked it with thin CA.

I need to get this thing fixed because I've got a friend and his son coming to town from Detroit this weekend to do some flying and I'm out of airplanes.

I needed to pull the cowl off to fix the gear and found out I have a problem with the Teflon tape on the header, it was gone!

Come with the engine, when I bought it. I have a friend who machines stuff like this. I can get you his info, if you desire.

Setup my new toy.........

The filament sample that it came with sucks......just a bunch of really short pieces, luckily ebay says my spools will be here tomorrow. The kapton tape did come today.

Very nice Dennis.

Since it looks like Chief cant seem to get my parts from the warehouse to the shipping department, I patched the carbon spring for my tail wheel back together tonight with an aluminum splint.

I also noticed one of my Spot-On servo arms was getting loose on the the servo splines. I got rid of their tiny metric bolt and tapped it for a 4-40 and added a lock nut. I had to put the 4-40 socket head in my drill press and taper the head

with a file so it would fit in the hole in the arm. Hopefully that will do the trick.
