Slick all buttoned up, engine ran like a champ, all loaded and ready to go maiden tomorrow. Slightly scurred I forgot something, this went together too easily

Good luck with your re-maiden...maiden Tanner. I am sure you're going to be just a tick on edge tomorrow huh? Hope all goes well.

that's a lot of space! that big Cub looks lost!

It will look better when I have time to get the plane lifts in and get it hanging.

If I have time to be, depends on how busy work gets.

Went out flying yesterday and had a little mishap with my Redwing 20cc Sbach Profile. By mishap I mean that I ran out of talent and altitude at the same time.

Bent the down tube on the Mintor 22, broke the prop and bummed up the fuse a bit. Sourced a new down tube today from Bryan at Aerographix and started repairs on the fuse. Should have a new Xoar 17x6 prop tomorrow from Great Planes. Hoping to get this baby back in the air ASAP! @Decal Dennis was having a blast with it till I goofed it up.

If I have a favorite part about being a bad pilot, it's the fact that it makes you a better builder.

Ouch.

Mid section of the fuse is pretty much good as new. Actually it's probably better than new!View attachment 54590

New muffler looks much better!View attachment 54591

Next toilet bowl will be 2-3 feet off the ground Maybe a toilet bowl into a pop top

Sounds like a plan.

The mayhem continues....

If it wasn't for the these square balsa reinforcements that @Decal Dennis added when he built this for me, this plane would have been toast!

Helped my daughter work on her 3DHS 61" 330LT. She got the servos in all of the surfaces and we got them trimmed out. Now to mount the motor and get it flown.

I'll donate the nose off the Extra 330 profile that crashed on maiden (first brown out that ever happened to me).....the nostril is in decent shape on it, a lil cuttin and glueing and it'll fit right on there!!

I figured that baby was in the trash bin.
