Default RE: Mosqitobite TriPacer going on the workbench.

I suspected that you had a nice view from the picture of your garage pad in another thread. Well done. Did you do the building yourself or contract it out?

I work as a Lan Administrator for a canadian government agency, so it's no problem to keep a window open on a site like RC Universe. Only thing is, I only get around to looking at it when everything is calm here. At home I have so little time right now that I seldom get online like this. I suspect we've probably got a 3 hour time difference going between us! Chances are good that I'll be online a few hours before you, and you'll be online a few hours after me.

Right now my other projects are much like yours. The house addition, which I have yet to complete. A house next door that a good friend of mine is building himself. I spend most of my off work hours there right now. Trying to get it all closed in before the snows hit. Almost there.
This winter will be a bit of demolition and restoration on my wife's 1948 Mercury pickup truck. She's the third owner, so it hasn't had too much altered on it over the years. It's got some rot, but not too much. We are going to restore it to orriginal as much as possible. Complete frame off restoration on the way. I'm a hands on kind of guy, so I tend to do as much of anything myself as I can figure out how!

Other projects... Building a set for a theatre production company in the spring for the musical "Oliver". Maybe another plane, but not sure what yet. If Mosquitobiteplanes gets another kit out, I'll deffinately build that. Build my own curving bannister for the main stairwell in the house addition out of walnut. Now to find a good source for walnut close to home... I decided to build an oval entry in the house complete with oval stairs eventually.

On the landing gear of the tripe, are you intending to make this look authentic, or just functional? ie struts/wire/bungie under main landing gear...
