Garage Works - 5/30/2026

Spent a little time in the garage - it's actually been a little bit...

I started with installing the AFS USurf 135 onto the Silk 850/Standard fuselage setup.  Going to take this out tomorrow to catch some bombs!!!


I took on a few repair jobs - first up is an older strut bladder repair.  I took the bladder out and found I needed to re-glue the valve stem on.


Made marks to make sure everything goes back on correctly


High strength, flexible glue on the bladder


And on the valve foot.  I got these put back together, but I'll go through the full cure before testing it.


And I even placed some epoxy - this is the tracks getting epoxied into place.


I will do some sanding to get the bottom prepared for more carbon fiber.  And I'll likely get the carbon overlays epoxied into place as well.
