last one..

I noticed you have a PC in there. How do you keep the balsa dust under control? I've been banished to the basement.

Jason

Fishstyx,
Its not easy, but the belt/disc sander has a built in shop vac attachment, my palm sander has a dust collector, and any hand sanding gets done over the inverted dustbuster. I still get a little dust even after all that but it keeps it way down. I guess it also helps that I dont have a wife nagging me about it either, LOL

Hey Grnbtr. by far you have the greatest big MESS of all us all.

thank you for your reply.

carlos

rslocum.
That F-117 looks really cool. Is it e-power?.

Thanks for the reply.


Carlos

Hey hattend.

thanks for the reply. what's that white twin standing up?, is it flying? Where do you fly?. may be I will go north to make new friends this Summer.

Carlos

Hey nineflyer.

I bet that you probably have a mess too, so wont't you post a picture of your mess and join this big bunch of happy pigs.

Carlos

Grnbtr.

How did you know that's my favorite dog.

My back hurts from working on this mahogany glass topped table.
Unfortunately I need to build a bigger table to start the fuse on the 33% 330L

The F117 is a .46 size. Plans are avalible from RCM. It is a Parker L. model the same guy that did the Space Shuttle and Sr71's for RCM.

This is the 80" profile I am working now.

Rocky, I can't say that I've tried building a kit in a motel, but I have put together an arf in a motel. And from the pictures, I'd almost guarantee I know what motel chain you are staying. Motel 6 right? Don't those dressers need to be about 2 feet deeper for that.
BTW: My wife works for the corporate office of Motel 6, so I have become quite accustomed to the interior of a Motel 6.

Well I'll have you know that I work very hard at making it that way!!! Drives the Wife crazy when she comes in there, she be a neat freak!!!!

Yeap. I understand about the neat freak wife. I heard the same comments every week of the year, thank god I have a job that takes me away for three days a week.

Carlos

Well I do clean it up after each plane but I have 3 going right now so the mess. You can bet your bippy though it will be cleaned when I start my Phantom!!!!!

Is ti a GP F-4?. If it is I could give you a few pointers.

Yes it is and I hope to start it some time later this year, but you know how that goes. I have a few in front of it that I want to do. SIGH!!!

The Twin is a 14 foot span Twin Otter. It was featured on an RCM cover way back when. I got it like 3rd or 4th hand. It isn't flying as yet because not a week or so after buying it, I got a job offer up here in Alaska. It was short notice so I tossed everything into 2 storage cubicals and moved. I visit them every now and then (I get down at least once a year for the Reno Air Races).

It is ready to go except for engines, although it is plumbed and set up for 2 Sachs 3.2s. I am going to stick Fox 3.2s in there when I settle somewhere. It's impractical to ship it up here. Not seen in the picture is a Super Telemaster. 15 foot span...I'm going to tow large sailplanes with it. There's many more in the other cubical.

I flew out on Beale AFB (I'm retired Air Force). I am also a member of the Redding Radio Control Club. I have also visited at the Sacramento Red Barons field a couple of times as a guest of a member.

Thank you for the reply. Any time you feel like flying out of Woodland/Davis as a guest let me know, just send me a pm.

Carlos

My jet.

wow what a bunch of pigs!!!!

OK, one slow kit build going on, several repairs, two engine repairs/rebuilds and I just finished working on something for the grand kid. Tomorrow is engine run in day and clean the shop up so I can get back to my own build. A lot of things happening on my board at the moment and it isn't as much building as it should be.

yeah i bet i can figure out whats going on, i bet you could get more done if you would take down that calender thats on your wall!!
