On the slim chance that your boss might some how come across this thread, I wouldn't be using my real name in my signature (assuming that is your real name and not a fellow co-worker who you hate).
LOL
Actually, I don't think my boss would have a problem with it. I have his permission to run a computer service company on the side. But in this case I am going with the "it's easier to ask forgiveness than permission." I am the only person in my office, so I would not be disturbing anyone with building.
WHy don't you just buy a flat sheet of wood from Home Depot and lay it on top? That would be the easiest thing to do. I mean why do you need a shim under the wood. THe plane does not weight that much. or maybe I am reading what you wrote wrong. I dunno
I will be getting a flat sheet of wood, probably MDF. My concern is that the wood could sag in the middle. It is only 1/4", but I am particular with my building. So I am wondering if I need to do braces underneath it.
Not at this time. But when I do get to hire someone, I better hire a R/C person, so they understand that on nice afternoons it is acceptable to go out to the field and get some flying done. And that there is no problem with keeping at least my Ultra Stick 40 in the back of the work van. I love being able to work at the field (by cellphone!)
