Gregg, very nice. BTW it is far too clean and you need to fill that empty spot on the ceiling hanger.

That is a beautiful roomy shop!

Anyone else experiencing slow download times on photos on RCU? Each one on this thread took about 30 seconds or more.

That one empty slot is where the Cub is usually hanging out . It is pretty tidy right now but it's just about ready to get busy down there. Now I can get the Bucker-Jungman kit back out. I've been trying to get it going again for about 4 years . Have the upper wing at about 70% complete....

This thread has been around long enough for me to post another workshop on it. My first one wasn't big enough (See Post 39 from 2004), so I gathered up my tools, sold it and built another house around my new one. Here it is..... And yes, before you ask, I spent time cleaning it up before I took the picture. Never go out in public without cleaning up first. The bench is longer, but it looks the same because the planes are now bigger.

I'd say you got a nice one going there hookedonrc, but I think that plane belongs in MY workshop - oh wait, I already have one (and wouldn't trade it for the world). YOU WILL LOVE THAT BIRD!!!! What you powering it with?

Thanks tailskid, yes I can't wait to get it in the air. It's a DLE 20. I am about 1/2 way through the build because I am doing all the mods that have been suggested on RCU, and some of my own. I was going to fit the cowl this weekend, but have to wait till I get the muffler. I took the plunge and sprung for a small canister wrap around Pitts muffler from J-tec. I am trying to fit it all within the cowl.

That's what I have in mine and it needed some 'tweeking' to get to fit. I used Du-Bro mounts and are using a 15/7 three bladed prop due to ground clearance. I also used two elevator servos but other than that, it is stock!

Yep, I have seen that picture many times. I didn't go to 2 servos on the elevator, but did add a second control rod. I am keeping track of the mods on this thread:

I've been watching this thread for YEARS!!!!!!!! I'm finally excited to be able to contribute. Took a few years to save the cash and of course had to keep stacking the garage fuller and fuller so my wife finally said, build something to put all this stuff in!!!!!

It's on the way. 20 X 20.

If I showed my workshop when it was clean you would think it belongs to a cyclist, not a modeler. Because basically it does.
