What could possibly go wrong?

Just spent 90 minutes lining up the wings of this thing. There must be a trick to it I don't know. Anyway had everything looking pretty good, when I hit one of the boxes with my head, meaning I had to start all over again. Even I didn't know I knew how to swear like that.  We will see how it looks when the JB Weld dries tomorrow.

Was the photo taken after you fell onto the ground or is your workshop in Australia? :)

Lesson: never put energy into an object by putting it on a high shelf.  That's why most of my $hit is on the floor.  It can't fall down from there!  We both know it is not called the "floor".  It is a "very low shelf". ;D

Lookin' good, Rob.  It'll be nice to have flying when Spring comes back.

But why a new thread???

Hey Frank.  The problem with putting everything on the floor is it can get stepped on or kicked   :o

Piker,

re:"But why a new thread??? ".

It is obvious.   The previous stuff was before his Mexico trip, this is post-Mexico :)

Margaritas can erase your memory apparently, hence the new thread. Top wing is on and looks pretty good. A bit concerned about the incidence, hope I got it right. Even if it flies like a pig, man the plane looks good.
