Thursday, Friday and Saturday

Well, I missed two days again. I am sticking with the exercises pretty well so far and getting faster at them. Thursday being Veterans Day we did not do much. I worked on the Cessna some. and did some work in Photoshop on pictures I had scanned in with the new scanner. It is an Epson and I really like it.

I was done with exercises in 45 minutes Friday. I got the mower out and cleaned the leaves off the lawn and driveway in the afternoon. I got the servos installed in the Cessna today and the radio all set up.

Saturday I upped the count on my exercises and I was still done in 45 minutes. I finished up the Cessna and it is ready for its test flight. You can see the elevator and rudder servos in the picture. The black box on the left side is the receiver and the black object with the red and black wires is the battery. I made the two rear windows so I can push them in and they catch on those odd shaped wires and let the warm air out. The battery and speed control in these planes generates quite a bit of heat and they last longer if you have air flow to cool them.

I did a little work on the motor home, installing a 12 volt plug so I can have power to charge the models on the bench without having to pack one of the gel cells. It is about time to head in and watch something on the DVR, there doesn't seem to be much on that we are interested in watching on any of the channels.
