thats funny.
They do take some time, but can do pretty much anything you want. I just randomly attached the aloft logo jpg to one of my emails to them and was like hey can you put this on the hat??
He also had me measure my cockpit and we found that it wasnt exactly 1/4 so he modified the pilot to match.

Amazing details.

Have a Twisted Wings Gee Bee on the work bench. Should be a nice easy build. I have a Fokker tri-wing from them and it flys awesome so really looking forward to this one

With so much wing area, it may not need a propeller.

2/3rds of the wing is the ailerons. Lol

That is, almost pitcherons.

Finally got the opportunity to bring the Gee Bee to my work and fly it in one of our hangers. Im still getting used to it as this was only my second flight but boy is it fun.

Very nice!

Some rc time in Westport. Wind direction not great, only got a few minutes on the bambam before I gave up. But got it trimmed.

Looks like a fun trip though.

Tried out my new camera, the DJI osmo pocket 3

 

[Wayne]

Very nice.

The truck shots were done with the autotracking. you select the thing and the gimbal turns to follow it. It can get confused but im interested to try using it on a plane sometime.

Finally got my Starlink mini out for the first time. I had read on reddit that it will shoot thru the plastic hard top on a jeep no problem so i decided to try that out on the 2hr drive from lakeport to Fort bragg / westport union landing campground.

I circled it in this picture. Bungied it to the top of a tote and had it slightly leaning towards the west. I was heading mostly to the west on this drive which is the general direction it needs to be aimed. (reversed this on the way home so it was still facing west'ish)


Was getting 60mpbs down on the way there.

Once we got to camp i put it on a camera lighting tripod i have and aimed it correctly. Worked great for the 6 of us over 3 days. I think we ended up using about 30 of the 100 gigs i had paid for.


Normally i wouldnt leave it on all night but i wanted to see what it would do to my 1000wh dji battery. Between sun going down (no solar input) and sun hitting the panels the next morning it used about 400wh or 40% of the battery.


I did end up taking a few planes including the bambam. Wind direction/site were not great, ended up doing a couple long walks. But i did get the bambam trimmed up.

I'm trying something different on this little plank. Instead of fiberglassing the joins, I made a little damn out of tape and spread e6000.

With several other projects going I decided to build this Steven’s Aero Puddle Bug. This project took about 2 days. I’m hoping to fly in the morning depending on the weather.

 

[Wayne]

Looks like fun.

It is a fun little plane. It was breezy this morning she flew well. Has lots of power, got a 9 min flight on a 150 mah battery. I took some video I’ll post it later. I counted up and this is my 18th Stevens aero kit.
