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... |
RE: Regular guy's Phenom thread
....them chocolate chip cookies look pretty good too. :)
|
RE: Regular guy's Phenom thread
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 :) |
RE: Regular guy's Phenom thread
daven I take that as a personal challenge! It is frustrating not having the right tools...

RE: Regular guy's Phenom thread
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! |
RE: Regular guy's Phenom thread
Margarita's and chocolate chip cookies? Weird, but not as weird as a guy I used to work with who liked beer and chocolate chip cookies! [:'(]:)
Hey! Howe come your Dremel doesn't have a cord??? :D |
RE: Regular guy's Phenom thread
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- |

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!

More to follow... 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. More to follow |
