Anybody getting anything done?

Hi Bill , the wings look really good !
I am also on freeze alert this last few days and the workshop is out of bounds for my old body.
Maybe today I will get a start on the birdy.

Nice one Ralph. I wish I had taken some photos of it. How cold was it when you took the photo.
Your K8 is looking good. Can't wait to see it next year. Have you decided what colour scheme you are going to use.

I've just come in from the garage, where I was setting up the drop arm cutter for Richards left wing. I took my wind meter out with me which measures temp too.

When I'd finished setting up the meter read -2.7 C and was still dropping!! :shock:  :shock:

What do you expect when you use all your insulation for making planes :D

Got fed up waiting on the temp to rise in tha garage and brought one of  my boards in to the dining room, (major advantage of being single - nobody to complain about balsa dust!!)

These are the wings for an Island Models KA-3 at 1/4 scale that I'm slowly building :oops:

Looking good Bill!  :clap:
Education is important, but flying RC planes and gliders is importanter!

Er,….Bill, forgive my ignorance :oops: but what are these for on the rear of some of the ribs? (Air brakes??? may be? But they don't seem deep enough)
