Title: New Member...New home for Nexstar
Post by: sts41 on March 19, 2012, 07:09:06 PM
Well I just got my membership card for Temac today....My name is Stephen Sweeney, and I'm an RC Aholic.
Can't wait to get back to Stouffville and get flying...I was out to the field a few times late last season, Clair let me try a plane, and since then, I have though of nothing but getting back and trying the plane I got for Christmas...

Since there isn't much to do to a Nexstar...and my plane needed a home...I built a storage container for the plane. Since the plane will pretty much be in the back of my truck all summer......I created this:

I know....looks like a coffin...But should protect it for the summer.

Welcome to TEMAC.  I'm a new member too as I joined at the very end of last year.

I don't expect to be in Ontario until April 23. I work 6 months of the year in Toronto and 6 months from home in New Brunswick. If the workshop is after that...I will gladly bring it....In fact, it will be in the truck all summer, so should be viewable every weekend  :D

Since we have VERY little storage area when in ON...The box is a means of keeping the plane from being crushed in the back of the truck.

Any repairs will be done on the picnic table....So I really hope I am a fast learner. I have lots of time on the Sim....

I may rent a storage locker if they are not too expensive...Give me a place to work...and store some of the stuff I normally leave in the truck during the summer.

See you all soon.

Steve
