My Dog has wings. I finished up the sanding, ailerons and flaps today. I hope to start glassing Monday.

I usually mount the RAM landing lights into larger reflectors that I get from the dollar store. They always had small flashlights that I could use the reflectors from. When I looked yesterday all they had were LED lights that don't have a reflectors. Does anyone know where I can get reflectors that are about 1" in diameter?

Charlie

Status: offline 		Charlie, just finished framing up the 2nd panel. Need to install aileron, flap, duffle bag supply dump servo, and the landing lights. What is the diameter of the reflectors you are looking for? I'm sure you identify the item in the backgrd of one of the pictures. Chic

Status: offline 		If I would read more carefully, I'd be dangerous (smile). 1" reflectors, rather large size when comparing with the reflectors that come with the RAM lights. I will look tomorrow, I would use the larger size myself. Thanks. Will let you know what I find. Chic

Status: offline 		I looked in a few more stores today and found two small flashlights for $1.79 each. The reflectors were a little to large so I hit them on the belt sander. The landing lights are not the best but they will do for a daily flier.

The ElectroDynamics light sets look great but I wanted to go cheap on this project. I think I will spring for the ED set on my next project.

Now on to glassing the wings.

Status: offline 		All is well, we weathered the wind and rain quite well. First time in 21 years, we did not even lose power, it blinked several times but stayed on, God is good. Flooding was all around us but nothing like Jersey and New York. Sump pump did its thing. I feel so bad for the modelers who lost soooo very much. I just shake my head wondering how I would have suffered such a lost. Hope Larry has made it through ok. I love the Jersey Governor, I would have voted for him if he had run this time. I will vote for him in 2016. O'yes, I am a Reagan Democrat. I'm quite conservative in policy matters. Noah, thank you for asking about us. Thanks my friend. Chic

Status: offline 		It was a good week for my Birddog rehab. Now that the weather issues are behind us and things are back to normal, the temperature was good for painting. I was able to primer the whole Birddog and I got a coat of primer on my twin Beechcraft. I found a few rough spots on the fuselage to make repairs to and I am beginning the task of sanding the first coat of primer off of the wings.
With a little luck I will be able to get the second coat of primer on the wings this weekend.

I did manage to get the Birddog wings sanded and hope to get another coat of primer on this weekend.

Mine is a nice flier but not a plane that like's the use of full flaps on landing, like my Mustangs. Very pitch senstive. Had to do a little repair from that.
Have a couple pics in my profile.

Status: offline 		My Birddog rehab project had a good weekend. I put the second coat of primer on the wings Saturday morning. I sanded it off on Sunday and finished up the sanding this morning. This afternoon I got the third and final coat of primer on the wings. Tomorrow I hope to give them a light sanding and get started on the panel lines.
