Sneak peak, Ratt Style...

WWRC takes a first look at the new GT500 Charger - YouTube

Watched this video a couple times.....

I think I kinda like the readouts on the screen.........
Revolectrix did good on this one.....

LED Harvest complete

Good Morning
plane is fixed

Ahhh-ha!!!!

Finally! I found the piece of c-channel aluminum that I use for my
mounting \ heat sinks on my lighting system...

Let me tell you, sometimes being a "Pakratt" isn't always
a good thing.... I dug and scouraged around the garage shop
for about 3 hours before I found where I put my c-channel...

Turns out that I kept over-looking it..... It was basically right
inside the door of the shop standing along a wall stud....lol

Now, on to the upgrade very soon....

Before I had 2 pods on top and 1 on the bottom of each wing....



After upgrades, there will be 4 on top and and 3 on bottom of each wing....


(((Going from 3 pods total to 7 total on each wingtip)))


I have one 4-pod fixture complete and ready for epoxy-securing......
much brighter!!!



Talk about lighting up a room.... and I thought they
were awesome before..... wow....

Right side light set complete:

2/1 v.s. 4/3


Simple outside @ dark test on the side of the
RV from about 15ft away....... lol

Original Left side LED set:--------------- Right side set w/improvements
----


Yeah, it's a lot brighter..... should light up whatever I need to now......


Now, to do the other LED set...........

NICE!!!





According to the specs of my LED's I'm using....

I've been flying the 71" Slick with about 400 lumens of brightness.... (6 led pods total)
With the upgrade, I will have roughly 1000 lumens of brightness now... (14 total pods)

Cool, make me up a bunch and I will put them on my planes.... and site... :-)

Good Thursday Morning!!

Went out to the Tiffin field today from about 9:30am to 5pm.....

Got in some decent flights..... Loving that RW Slick!

Did a little more "dialing-in" of the 75" MXS-R also...
That little RCGF 32cc is doing great with the 20x8 prop!

Today was the first time in a while that I've actually had
some company out there and wasn't all by my lonesome....

Theres something to be said for flying by yourself. I like it. No distractions. You can really concentrate on practicing maneuvers and tuning the plane in

No disagreement there.......... I know exactly what you mean...
I get a lot of "alone" time at that field....

You made pretty good time.... I was thinking you'd get back home
sometime mid-day...........

About Sunday...... Still watching that 40% thunderstorm (for Tiffin)
and 60% storm chance (for Galion) chance that keeps popping up........
but hey, it's Ohio.... It'll probably change a couple more times yet.......
