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

[HRRC Flyer]

All these things happening and where've I been? Oh yeah...work. lol.
Been working a little on the Dalton, (photos later)... but till then I decided Baby needed a little upgrade. I really don't have much time these days but wanted to get a little side project out of the way. I wanted to give the 260 counter balance stabs. What best way to achieve this but to strip and recover counter balance stabs.

I'm looking forward to seeing just how much different she flies with the different stabs. Weather permitting, I guess I'll just be forced to take her for a spin tomorrow.

Now you're just showing off . . . . . . Take care Buddy

Lol yeah she used to shoot a BB gun as a kid but that's it. In the 14 years that we have been together I have never seen her shoot anything other than my paintball gun.

As a friend of mine used to say when describing a co-workers marksmanship "I wouldn't want him drawing a bead on me with a Wham-O Slingshot and a Steelie" Of course you need to be old like me to remember Wham-O Slingshots and Steelies.

You OLD! and an "aggie" put your eye out just as good as a "steele". Speaking of eye......would not expect any thing less than brilliant from Rob's covering jobs. So pleasing to the eye!!!!!

It will be more "pitchy". So, anticipate a bit more expo on the elevator.

I was wondering about that. Good to know. Thanks Chris. I have 65% expo right now. (3D rate) May have to bump it to 70% like my Sukhoi.
