Thanks Vincent.
I have been snooping around the site for a couple day's, it seems RCU is operating like days of ole. Only thing I am not liking is when I reduce the unwanted forums it only last while I'm here, have to reduce them each time I open RCU. As for getting back to building, it will still be a couple weeks. My trailer is full of discardable's from our old house, the shop is over flowing with airplanes from the trailer, over flow airframes in a shed. Need to get all that sorted, cleared out, cleaned up, then go over/ through all airframes. Then I can break out on an existing build..... which is a Challenger being built as the Bulldog 1.
I can post all the pics of up to where I am at if wanted.

Ok, I have went through four airframes and they are ready to go in the trailer. Should be getting the trailer empty and cleaned this weekend. Once the planes are out of the shop I will jump on getting the Eagle back together and ready for Tog Gun 2018, hope it goes better than last year. Once all that is done, shooting for the end of next week, I can get back on the Bulldog build. The build is 90% complete and should not take long to get it ready for covering. This one is getting Mono or Ultracote instead of my usual fabric as it is just for a fun flyer. The shop is 14x24, the pics show how little room I have in the shop.

This Bulldog build is not a scale build so I did not take as many pics as usual.

Both your shop and build look great Robert. As small as your shop is, mine is much smaller, so I can appreciate how organized it forces you to become...

Don't you know it. It feel's like forever since I had a big shop (24x30) but still hoping to have another one day.

My builds have not been small enough for that in many years.

As of ten minutes ago the shop is cleaned out and cleaned up. Now I just have to get in the mood to build, quite honestly I figured once I cleaned it it would hit but I guess the house rebuild has wore the build out of me. I have got to get to the Eagle, and soon.....We'll see what tomorrow brings, would really like to go flying... I think....

Robert,

Here is the beef. While your out flying in sunny Florida, most of the country can only wish for spring and better weather to arrive. (LOL)
Been a long winter and it's only half over.
On top of that its too cold to even go out in the garage to work.
Fly well.

Regards - J Tab

Nice job on your workshop, I'm a bit jealous! It's cold here in NH, one can only dream of flying, again I'm jealous!! Enjoy yourself and I'm sure the "building bug" will bite soon enough.
