^ Complete with a Ham radio call sign plate and nerdy redhead kid, not even that car could get me laid as a teen. Built a few engines for it, got it in to the 11.9's on with NOS. I miss those days.

Designing an access panel/ storage area below it inside the space as well. Wiring and insulation are my first tasks. Should be ready for some logos soon!
You going to be selling corndogs outta that thing?

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Roll Tide!

Alright gents, behold the new software! This thread (and any one with tons of photos) will benefit especially from the attachment viewer functionality.

Click Thread Tools at the top right of the thread, and choose Show Attachments in this Thread


Enjoy.


Matt

OK. I see now that I'm an idiot....never mind...




The show attachment thingy (sorry for using such technical language) is nice but as it doesn't link to the associated thread it's pretty useless.

For example:
I see a cool trailer in there and want to go to the post that describes it. How do I do that?

Rip it and Strip it

Back 2 weeks from Africa and trailer finally arrived for delivery. Picked it up Wednesday. Started stripping and rewiring Thursday! A few pics... using 1" foam board. Routing all electrical to the right side for access. Adding a few undisclosed security features while she is gutted but i already have 3 schools lined up for sim training and flight demos. Gotta hustle on this build!

Foam is challenging for a one man job!

Got busy working on the foam. SUPER GLAD the guys earlier in the forum posted the details and how to. Was pretty straight forward and I had the "attack dog" on security over watch. Used 3 and a half sheets on the one side of the trailer. Left the center open for outlets mid height of the wall then I will finish it off (tomorrow). Then time to gut the front of the trailer and insulate. Won't touch the rest (right side) until I finish working out my breakout panels and power access in the next week or so. T tracks for gear legs should be ordered by next week but temp installed for transport until I decide on the actual placement. Shelf slides is still an open issue but I'm still undecided. Thinking the ceiling will be last as the LED lighting and solar should be installed by then.

(That solar thread was AWESOME Matt Gunn!)
