Looks good to me - But that temp swing is HUGE. Maybe get one of the newer digital irons.Finally got my SST wing covered and Im happy enough with it... Covering has never been my strong suit so I struggled a bit. I did some reading and learned I was doing it wrong which didnt help. I tried the correct method which was better but Im still not great at it.
Also learned that my old Hanger 9 iron has a huge temp range in each setting. If I have it set around 300 degrees, it drops to about 225 before heating up againI think I need to invest in a new iron at some point.
Ordered some orange covering film today to do something similar on the other side then I need to cover the elevons and she'll be about done.

Anybody bringing a generator this year? May need to do a little bit of ironing on site again. Traveling wiped me out, having a hard time getting motivated to finish stuff

Ill have a battery power station that should be able to support some ironing I think. Its small but could work

I have one that i can use as well (but just in case be nice to quick charge off of a generator). Thats how i did the p38 last year. I bring 300w of solar with me but sometimes the sky doesnt cooperate.

Yea sounds good. I have small solar panels that came with mine but they are slow. My In-laws live just a few miles away on Buena Vista so easy to run over there if needed too.

lol thats right! My dji1000 can fully power up in an hour. Guess i could plug it in while we do showers.

Now that you mention it, I do remember seeing power stations chained to the sink drain charging in there. lol

You will have plenty of power next door even for a margarita blender running 24/7
PS.. We don;t need stinky / loud generator to make this happen!

I also thought that was a great decal/drawing

No, as I lack any artistic talent.
I grabbed an image off the internet and printed a waterslide decal.
I guess you learn something new every day.

With starlink i could bring my cricut machine and do stuff on site. Stupid app requires internet connection, but you can do everything from your phone now so thats nice.
@Hawaii Sloper you better hurry up and get to california, your build pile keeps growing

Perfect, I could use a couple of simple stickers for the few rehabs we are still working on!

Are .jpeg files OK to convert to Cricut?

File type is not the issue, those are easy to convert if needed. Needs to be solid Silhouette style photos. Gradients don't work. So that twist 69 is perfect.
