Anyone have an interesting kit on the table they are building? I need some motivation! The only thing I have which I have completed and torn down twice now I have lost all desire to finish due to a number of factors.
My biggest hurdle is not having a place to build atm, but hopefully that changes this year. That being said I have been pondering a Mibo Tornado, but not may out there to pull information from so if anyone has built one hit me up!

Maybe even an Mibo A-10, just need something to keep me busy this winter, so does anyone have a build going? I have seen a couple here but lots of folks are doing the Youtube and Facebook builds which im cool with!

I have a few project for the winter......currently I have

SkySun Muses F3A TP that I took all the covering off....Fiberglass all the parts, currently getting it all ready for the first coat of primer filler....

BVM L-39 to re-do everything wires/air all of it....

SM 104 to redo most of it all the wiring control....and air system, also repair a few things...

New CARF J-10 to put together, and paint (got it in white)

Ripmax Xcalibur + to put together, I intend to strip the covering and Fiberglass this one as well.....and repaint all of it.

SM PC 21 to finish not much left...no rush I can’t fly this locally...

Maybe a CARF Rebel Max, if the border open.....

I think that’s about it for this winter... I don’t want to finish before April LOL so I need to slow down.... 😂

Come to my house for a week, i can keep you busy with any number of unique projects that by the time i am done with you, you wont want to build for the rest of your life. LoL

FenderBean

haha I bet, you wish I had more jet guys here and builders of large models.
Dansy that's a full time job for you, I just need a spare time filler lol

I wish I could like the Nashville gang they have a build night, maybe when I get the real airplane in the shop I can do that! Going to need help with rivets!

Nothing its done, just need to get to a place to maiden it, local club isnt viable for a large jet like this.

Are Mibo making a Tornado? Also why don’t you get Mibo A6?

Are you still fighting with that F-18? I figured you’d finally throw in the towel and sell that thing. From what I gather, you’re the biggest A-6 model fan on earth so if there was any chance, you’d do it. Just too many problems with the design and gear or Nick and I would have one too.

I'm doing all the weathering job on my A10 and been posting in the A10 Gen 6 thread but looks like no one is interested ...

Why do you need to redo the BVM L-39? Poor quality? Just wondering as I am waiting for delivery of a BVM F-86 and hoping not to have to redo everything I paid for as a PNP.
Thanks

only A-10 i have seen lately was from a different person, being a new Mibo dealer im always interested in those. Trying to get one myself in the near future, post a link!

FenderBean

Haha yeah i need to get it out of the garage so I dont see it sitting there everyday! I want to throw in the towel but I love the size and my scheme, im waiting on new motors for it anyway so I can't finish it till they are released anyway. If I can manage to get the paint redone it would get finished for sure, I almost bought the stuff to do it myself but stopped due covid killing my new job so until I get a full time job im on hold for a lot of things.
Mibos working the A-6 so its always there for the future projects, I will probably sell something at that point so I dont end up with 6 jets

Don't you live down south? Isn't that when you fly jets, not build?
I have been fairly successful, for me, with getting hers done. I did my Ultra Flash, then went right onto my Rebel Pro, and am tinkering with my Rebel classic now. I have found that I get a WHOLE lot more done if I work it 15 minutes to a half hour at a time - install n set up a servo and walk away, come back and do another servo, walk away, etc.

I fly on the weekends, but that doesn't keep me busy at night.

‘Nope the outside is very nice....., it’s because the plane has passed through a few hands....and has never flown and someone took all the stuff out Servos/valves ect and butcher the Inside of the kit a little.....so....I was asked to redo everything and at the same time make the inside pretty....

I have been restoring a Phoenix 7 just to stay "current". Its been a good exercise in glassing, filling, wood work, painting and clearing.
