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

    Wanting a more aviation themed helmet head I decided to make my own. I've got the shoulders portion done, now it's onto the helmet mold. My intent is to vacuum form some ABS over a set of molds to create a new bust. the helmet in the pic I got at an airshow and is way to heavy to has the look...

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

    Since it is 50 degrees here Michigan I thought I should finish fixing my ventique. this fall I managed a not so graceful landing that ripped the landing gear off and proceded to punch them up through both wing panels. everything is back together and ready to fly now. Cowling did get a little...

    got all the monokote cleaned up and did some prelim assembly to get a look at my design. overall very happy with it. now it's time for some paint and a few more graphics. started life as the PAU extra. just a few minor upgrades like aerodynamic balance tabs on the elevators and ailerons.

    150-200cc Extra 300SP

    Hoping this will supply enough cooling over the fins. first time running a 4 cylinder. Very similar to what I've seen posted by others. Also thought I'd show my scheme in red too. Was really considering it but I've had red planes before and I'm a Pittsburgh Steelers fan so I went with the...

    This is awesome for the hobby and for the full scale aerobatics pilots out there. I met Skip at the battle creek MI airshow this year as he was walking the flight line signing autographs and taking pictures. It's great for the fan base and it's great to see everyone stepping up in aircraft...

    150-200cc Extra 300SP

    I know but looking at the aircraft it looks like the 330 sc which I happen to like more and just wanted a little something different. I was planning to hinge the ailerons in a more scale like appearance like I did the elevators but that would have been to much redesign so I drifted away from...

    Auto-air paints

    Have you done a lot of pin striping with it and if so are you having any issues with it bleeding under the tape? I'm using 3m fine line tape but occasionally still have issues. I just got a bottle of the clear to hit the tape lines before color to see if that helps.
