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

    Got to work on trying to tidy up the mess in my shop. Made a significant dent in there today, but still plenty of stuff to do.

    Aerobeez "BANSHEE" 91" Slick build

    Thank you @David Cokley ! I love the Slick design- huge fuselage, lots of wing area, a great solid 3D airplane design.

    Aerobeez "BANSHEE" 91" Slick build

    Well I spent most of my day trying to tidy up my workshop (it's still a disaster) but at least I got the elevators hinged up and sealed. Nothing out of the ordinary here. I always dry fit the hinges first and make sure they are ready to go in. Had to trim about 1/16" off of a few of the hinges...

    Really good fit for the airplane! Never seen anything but a GP kit come with monokote, this is a variant of ultracote.

    Back to some more assembly. I've sofar done all of the easy steps :D:rolleyes: Today consisted of bolting the tail wheel in place- you will have to poke through the covering for all of the bolt holes, but the blind nuts are already installed inside. Poke a hole in the top of the rudder for...

    Joe Nall 2016, Official Noise Policy?

    Simply put, don't be obnoxious with your airplane. Nobody is making you cease the full throttle fly-by's, just prop your engine accordingly and you can haul around all day. My DA120 doesn't rip the Mej 29x10s it swings even on a WOT downline.

    Price point is close, but the HSB's are a little more depending on where you look. I've seen them under $100 on sale. Tower lists them at $124.99: http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXEMEW&P=7 But everything at Tower can be had less expensive if you're part of their membership...

    Xpress does a BANSHEE build...

    For this airplane, I selected the Hitec HSB-9485SH brushless servos. These are the more budget friendly brushless servos in our lineup that do not feature a heatsink and have steel gears inside. The performance isn't high enough that they mandate a heatsink, but they still have plenty of power...

    Xpress does a BANSHEE build...

    Finally got to get started with the build. The first thing you will want to do is get the main gear onto the airplane and sitting on its wheels. First up is bolting the main gear onto the fuselage. You may want to use blue threadlocker on these bolts/grub screws as I did. The kit provides...

    I always like to customize a bit, obviously it'll be getting some Hitec swag, not sure about much else.

    Aerobeez "BANSHEE" 91" Slick build

    Digging through some of my stuff, it looks like I have some 36" HD extensions which will work perfectly in the tail, and I have a handful of 12" extensions that should work great on the ailerons. My parts list is starting to shrink!
