Glad you feel better Leroy. That being said, my airplanes care. To go farther in this debate would de-value Vincents Thread so we can just leave it as we all have our preferences.

My plane said It cared, but I thought she was just complaining again, as usual!

stevegauth30

Oh yeah, nuff with the tubes. Let's get down to talking VJ' work of art.

raptureboy

It's all VJ's fault for not building fast enough and allowing us ADD types to get off track. So anyhow were getting ready for the NEXT $%^&*(#@ snow storm coming in Thursday and I reworked my shop so I have 2 tables now to start working on another plane. So come on Vince lets get the class back on track here

And for you hardy winter flyers http://www.limacproducts.com/RG-R.html

I want to thank you guys in the East for taking the big snow storms. They've missed me, but I haven't missed them.

VincentJ

Nice link there Cliff, but my problem is my whole body is cold in the winter, do they make those gloves in "full body suit" bubbles? LOL

I am also amazed how much interest the tubes got, notice that I tried to stay out of it... I know work on my end has slowed down, but I am still working on my house as it's going up for sale in a couple of weeks.

TomCrump

Build to your preference. There's really no need to explain. I asked out of curiosity.

Prepping your house for sale should be your #1 priority. Retirement is the goal, and a very satisfying one.

stevegauth30

I feel for you. My house is also going on the market very soon and there's a lot to do. Only difference, I still have another 20 or 30 years of work ahead of me. Blah.

raptureboy

Sorry to see you have to sell. You have a very unique home. I'm sure you will get it done and do well with the sale. Will you be staying in town still?

VincentJ

Probably not Cliff. I'm looking at 55+ detatched condos for obvious reasons. Not having to shovel snow and maintain the outside of a home is becoming more appealing to me after a lifetime of doing those things. I look at it as a way to have more time in my workshop!

acerc

Oh man! I would love a building buddy!!!!!

TomCrump

No, Vincent is moving to a condo here, so he can watch me shovel snow and take care of the yard. LOL

acerc

But here there is warm sunshine year round. Perfect modeling weather!!!!!

TomCrump

There's snow and frigid temps, here. Perfect for nothing.

stevegauth30

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Will you take me with you? I'll shovel and do yard work.

TomCrump

You're hired !

I have a shed out back, next to the swamp, that you can sleep in during the warm month. The other 11, you can sleep in my heated shop.

stevegauth30

SAAA WEEEET!!! That's all I ever wanted. A nice bed in a heated shop. Right at home!

VincentJ

You guys are too funny...

I managed to find some time and fabricate the removable hatch cover. The framework is complete and ready for 3/32" sheeting. Hatch is held in place to the fuse by four 4-40 cap head screws. I will secure the hatch to the fuse before I start to sheet it to ensure that the hatch doesn't rack during the process.

TomCrump

I'm glad that you got in a little shop time, Vincent.

I know that you want to get your house ready, but a little relaxation is necessary, too.

Cub Flyer Fresno

Don't ya know it, Tom. I might be slow but I still like to spend a lot of time in the shop at the expense of other things that need to be done.

Looking good VJ! Glad to see you getting time in the shop also.

acerc

Sweet! That will come in handy!!

VincentJ

Well, I started sheeting the canopy, got half of it done. It was so much easier than sheeting the turtle deck... I'll get you some photos when it's dry.

Realtor came by this afternoon and I signed all the papers, house will go on the market in two weeks It will not be easy to move my workshop...

Leroy Gardner

Last guy I seen do his upper deck forgot the wax paper and glued his to the fuselage, I had to laugh especially after I told him. Your's is looking good.

I'll bring my trailer and help you move your shop. It may end up in Michigan, though.
