Garage Works - 4/11/2025

I took the day off today (so I can whittle my use or lose down), and decided to get some progress done on some projects.

First up was adding fill to level out the slot for the track block on Roland's wing board.


Then I figured I should fix the 142 rear stabilizer.  This is the undamaged side.


Here's the tip that had a chunk missing from it yesterday.


After I got the carbon laminated onto the stabilizer, I went back to Roland's board.  I used the electric planer to get the foam leveled, so I can use the router to clear the foam.


Since I had all the tools in use, I told Prayot to bring the board he has queued up so he could get the thickness dialed in and the track box routed out.


And here is the stabilizer ready to trim. 


I already got it trimmed and sanded.  It could use a thin layer of epoxy to fill some transition lines - but other than that it came out nice and I even got the other scratches filled and the trailing edge tuned up.


I'll test it first - if it runs quiet and doesn't behave funny, I'll probably just leave it.
