The model is coming along well, however, the workshop is .........

You are inspiring me to literally clean up my act on my workshop!


p.s. That's a nice Jig you got there - Pine Marten?

Thanks Ujjwana

Do it Now VC! 

Will do Sir. Right now everything is scattered all across 4 addresses, including Calcutta. Consolidating everything into two premises in the next couple of months, hopefully.

See the edit in my earlier post, you are making me JT wise all over again.

I didn't understand the Jig - Pine Marten bit

One of their lesser known tracks:

OK. Yes, I've experienced it, didn't know the name 

Sir, the build does justice to the name and vice versa.

You mean the vice does build to the justice? Or the versa does vice to the just buildice

heheh, I meant the build is as elegant as the name and the name is as elegant as the build

Seems like some people are not really aware of what Vice Versa means. Here is the perfect example:








This portrayal is a work of artistic imagination and bears no resemblance to any vehicle dead or alive.  

Apologies to Sanjay Sir, I promise not to disturb any more.

What nonsense VC!

That is incomplete without this

Love the fine print in the picture caption

Sir, you tempt me and I succumb. Jokes apart, you need this to add to your workshop.

Btw, with the drugs and alcohol included in the vehicle, I felt it was a perfect VICE versa. All vices included, I mean.

True VC, wasn't aware of Advent. Like most, I've been on the learning path after my birth, not before. And since the first time I held a measuring tape, it was Stanley, never needed to move to another

The comparison was to the bird swan, which, classically, is considered a symbol of elegance VC; Versa, never intended a comparison to a vehicle (ground or air/dead or alive/out of service or in). Wouldn't actually do that to the Versa of all (It's a box). In case you own one, apologies, but it's still a box. I know, I know what you meant.

And yes the vise, oh fully understand what a vise is (as I learnt it back in the growing up days toying in my dad's toolbox and an engineering course); The Americans seem to have continued the differentiation of the "s" vs "c". I prefer to use the same methods to differentiate between veekah versah and the third hand.

BTW, What's with the 'vise' humoring mode turning into the hammering mode

Due to shifting from Navi Mumbai back to Gurgaon, and falling ill after return, I was unable to complete this. 

I do plan to unpack, and set up my workshop again this week, and then will complete it! 

OK, I've unpacked and set up shop again. Made another table for assembly  

Hingeing using Mylar Hinges

Covering

I used Transparent + Chequered film from RCD

This Transparent film needs pretty precise temperature control, I think. I'm not any sort of expert, but I did find it difficult. Maybe because I was using a travel iron, the thermostat of which is not too precise. Plus, was getting lots of Voltage Fluctuation ( Gurgaon )

Covering finished. Servos & motor fitted. I used Blenderm tape from HK for the Aileron Hinges

Got freaked out! Was testing the motor and prop, as I increased the throttle, suddenly the motor shaft sheared off and the prop/spinner flew off and cracked me on the forehead 

Wonder why? I don't think there was any overtightening anywhere; first time I've had that happen. It's a Odin 2627, with a threaded shaft. Guess the shaft was weak at the failure point

the model looks beautiful sir  waiting for the maiden video after the motor change

Hope it didn't hurt much...

waiting for the beauty to be in air.

Your workshop looks more Organized than ever before. The model is turning out to be a beauty.

Thanks Anand, Swizera and Sandy. SS, hope you noticed my new addition - a green cutting mat - inspired by you
