Hi Guys, I have managed to do some work on it here and there. After cutting the foam for the servo lead I notice how much the slot weekend the foam, I looked on a few build threads and didn't see anyone doing anything about this, so I guess it would be ok to just sheet it. Well I just couldn't leave it like that so I called our good friend Ty and he gave me some good suggestions. He also suggested to make some small foam blocks and glue them in the slot where the end of the wing tube socket ends and HEY who am I to question greatness, OH boy that is going to earn me a 10 next time he judges me LOL!!! ok enough spanklish.

I glued two pieces of balsa sheet together and cut some strips from them. I then hand sanded them to fit. I left about 1/8 above the foam; once the gorilla glue was cured I carefully sanded it flush with the foam.

This was just a little extra work that gives great pice of mind.

I can't wait to go home and work on it some more. More to come soon I hope.

Primo did someone contact you about buying this plane ?

Yes he did. I'll be talking to him sometime today, looks like is going to work out for him.

Great news ! Then maybe I'll be hearing from you soon. ;-)

OK guys I was able to get away for a few hrs and went to Bren's shop to sheet one of the wings and it turn out great.
Check out the pics.

And in the bag it goes.

That plate you see on top is to ensure the wing stays flat on the table.

While the glue was setting up we took the time to set up the ban saw to cut the LE and TE edges.

I'm hoping to glue the LE and TE tonight. stay tune

Looking good !

Yes I'm back on it again. For the past two days I have been working on it thank god for the snow, work has been called off.

I will be posting pics in a few days, I hate doing it with the Mac here at home takes me for ever.
I have the LE, TE and end cap glued in place, been working with a hand held planer to shape the edges, I also have the second wing ready to be sheeted.

I'm currently working on the stabs cores. and yes I WANT A 124 but that will be sometime in 2012. I have my hands full with the move and all. I hope you guys are staying warm.

go primo!!

tony

So are you saying you are planing on keeping this now, instead of selling it ?

I keep going back and fotrh, but money talks if you know what I mean. Are you keeping your 118?

Let the Bidding begin

So what is your bid Gil $1,600 ?

Yea i'm keeping it, as of right now it is the only plane I have flying ! I bought an Extreme Flight Edge and a DA-60 and i'm putting it together,,,,,,,, almost ready to test fly,,,,,,,,, can you say Free style Baby !!!!!!! As soon as it is flying I have more Carden motorboxes to cut then I'll be back to building my 124 pro. Still have time to get it in the air this season,,,,,,,, got to get Joel to make me some decals of a dead fox so I can put them on the new plane !

LOL, It sucks to want to work on the planes and can't find the time, unless you do it at 3am.

Gil I'm waiting on your bid BABY!!!!!

You sure are funny Mark.... I guess if someone does not have a goal in life he will end up in the mud!!

Nevertheless... I've booked you a spot on "Comedy Corner" next week... you may be able to fool them instead.
Hope you got your driveway cleared of the snow... I just finished mine.

That is a nice bid thanks. Anyone else.

LOL, your so funny

This time next year maybe

What is my cut on this whole deal for all the vacume bagging and expert building advice? Looks like I need to send someone a bil!

More expirience LOL

Here's a couple of pics of my current project- an Aerotech 35% Edge. Just about ready to start the covering. Can you stay Freestyle BABY!!!!!

Great job James, Love the pocket hinges.

Looks great JT. I admire those who have the skills and patience to build such a piece of art.

Thanks guys, I've really had fun with this build and I can't wait get it in the air. Now I just need some patients so I can afford to buy a 40%.
Doc

Doc that is great !!!!! Let all get the Free style going this year !!!!!!

HEE HEE, me flying a freestyle!
That would be about as likely as seeing Wayne play in the snow! Wait a minute, Wayne is claiming that he built a snowman maybe I'll have to go try it and work up a routine.

Ok as promise pics, but first one of my big helper. Adrian wants to help me but most of the time he wants to gum the balsa.

Using the plans I have the location of the servo bays, next was to trim off some of the overhanging sheet, I used a sharpi to mark the outline.

Once I had the outline I made some marks about 1/8 for the overhang.

On the second and third pic you can see what I did. no need to go thru all the trouble again, just use the sheet as a guide.

Here is what they look like. Denis is very generous with the overhang, not that there is anything wrong with that, my point is if you leave it too long and vacum bag it it may snap off and take some of the foam with it.

Primo,

He's a good loooking young man.... Must have come from momma.....
