Regular guy's Phenom thread
Well for those of you who are average builders who operate on the RC hobby on a budget less than the Queen of England, I submit to you my Phenom build thread!
I have an old run-down, beat up, poorly lit, leaky shed where I attempt to build my RC models. Please find below for your approval my first post and pic of my Oakdale Phenom.
My Dremel battery is dead and I cannot find the charger, but I began construction in earnest this afternoon.
The good news is the ARF is world class quality with easy to follow instructions-
The bad news is I had 4 margaritas (Cazadores is good but Centenario is better) and I had my DVD player going so I did not get much done-(See Dremel info. above)
I REALLY need my Dremel to be charged and ready to roll I think...
More to follow...

A couple more margaritas and you'll be ready to go 
I wish someone would get one of these in the air so I can decide if I want one. My Jett .50 is getting bored of the Eindecker

Razor I know what you mean. I'm currently living in a 1 br apartment 350 miles from my workshop. I'm getting tired of working on my coffee table! This silly little electric should have been done in about 2 days, but its coming up on 3 weeks. RRRRR!!!!!!
Good Luck, and get that thing in the air!

Aw heck! No wonder that Dremel doesn't work...
Also, what on Earth are micro-balloons? OK I know what they are but are they REALLY necessary?
I am thinking about wrapping the entire airframe in bacon and deep frying it...maybe adding chocolate sauce afterwards with some swiss cheese. OK so I am still buzzed---
Tom- I used to have hot fudge sundae's with orange juice-

RE: Regular guy's Phenom thread
Thanks goodness!
We need to plan a one day Revver's get together at Rabbit. I know Russ wants to do some video of the Phenom.
Anyone have a date in mind?

RE: Regular guy's Phenom thread
The weekend of March 9-10 I will be up north for my mother-in-law's 90th birthday. Hopefully, this Revver get together will be on a different weekend. This is a subliminal message designed to make everyone subconciously think that the weekend of March 9-10 is not a very good idea!

I do not have a DVD player for my workshop.
Dremel #1 has CORD! No need for charging. (xmas gift 3 years ago)
Dremel #2 has a CORD and a flex shaft. (Xmas last year)
Dremel #2 came with accessory kit. see pic #2
OK the drill has a battery, spare battery, but the charger is hard to miss see 3rd pic.
Porter-Cable drill was door prize from a machine tool dealers open house.

RE: Regular guy's Phenom thread
There is no such thing as come back to Crazy's post.
I see how I have gone awry...
"Queen of England"? THAT is funny... Folks think $360 is a lot for an engine but try a tennis bracelet from Tiffany's [X(]
I guess I am almost divorced---got to go to counseling first though or else it looks like I don't care.
