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

    No sir not for me. Next things we are looking at is either a a newer F150 or one of the new Rangers for me or if the wifes Escape gives up the ghost first then it will be something along the lines of an Explorer. Main goals of next vehicle is it needs to fit all of us better and be able to tow...

    Sadly this what it takes for almost all vehicles out there if a heater core needs to be replaced.

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

    Lots of work happening none RC related and what a pain it is. Gotta start taking the little girl to day care on my way to work soon and she can't ride in the truck so the Mustang needs to become my daily. The heater core has been leaking but more than anything the AC didn't work and it wouldn't...

    I knew going in but the servos I got are slightly smaller than the spot they need to go in. 3D printer to the rescue.

    Goodies showed up for my 65” turbo duster today. Need a few spacers to get the motor out to where it needs to be.

    Scale Wendell Hostetler 30% PA-28 Cherokee Build

    That's a neat product. I'm sure with OpenTX you wouldn't need to use the flaps function. If it where me I would just set it up the same way I do a throttle cut using the special functions section. So for me the only plane I have with a nose wheel is my Eflite Habu STS. Rudder is plugged into...

    Discussion The I’m Going/Went Flying Thread

    It's been fun for sure. Sadly it has to sit for a few days now. Went back out yesterday and got 3 flights in. I had noticed the day before the rudder servo had developed some slop but figured I would keep flying. 3rd flight yesterday I landed and when the plane came to a stop the rudder was...

    Scale Wendell Hostetler 30% PA-28 Cherokee Build

    Not sure if they can do that green or not but I recovered a buddies Hangar 9 Edge many years ago with hobby king covering and to paint the cowl I actually went to lowes with a piece of the covering on a scrap of balsa. They mixed up some semi gloss latex in one of their sample containers. I then...

    3D printers are fun. The Modeling software is even more fun.

    Looks nice. Once we find a new house and I have a shop again I plan to build a dedicated lipo charging station and will use either hardie backer or the FR Drywall.

    Show Your Fish

    And all of these are from my in-laws pond. It is way over stocked with Bass and I'm trying to thin it out as I have caught 40-50 bass out of it this year and not a single one is more that 12-14" long and skinny as hell. Its been fun though as most of the fishing there has been done with my...

    Show Your Fish

    Been getting back into fishing recently so why not have a thread here for people to share their catches. These first two pics are the same fish. Snagged her last Thursday during my lunch break. No scale with us but we are guessing 5-6 pounds. These next three are all between 2-3 pounds and...

    Discussion The I’m Going/Went Flying Thread

    Did a different kind of flying this weekend. Just flying high on life and family time. Took the little girl out on the boat for the first time and then some fishing from the boat. She loved every minute of it. Three weeks ago I couldn't get her to touch a fish when fishing from the bank. Now she...
