It surprised me. I had several cessnas drawn up when I posted these for sale. Have only sold 2-182’s vs. about a dozen pipers.

I tried doing this with old cars but they never caught on. My wife wants me to do a rooster, pig and cow as she says our rural location would support it. Just hard to draw something I don’t have a lot of passion about.

Personally I always prefer the mooney look something about the tail makes it look faster

Re: Show us what you welded today
Moving everything in through the hatch. We broke the beam up in 3 pieces for the new install. Only way to do it.
Finally, tweaking it all to give the best results
I stayed in the crawl space, and K'kins was in the house measuring cracks in the drywall, and watching the level on the floor. It all worked out, and survived two minor earthquakes a few years back.

That's what welds should look like. I'm not sure I can do that anymore.

I visited the Mooney factory in ‘94. The vertical stab (tail) looks like that because they used the same jigs for both the vertical and horizontals to save $$. Fast aircraft for a single engine piston but very small on the inside.

Re: Show us what you welded today
A simple experiment with steel 3/4 nuts. Getting more comfortable with tig slowly.
I picked up a bucket of those nuts from a scrap yard. Figuring what else is worth making.

Mrs. B was first a second grade teacher. One day I passed on the road a second grader. I offered him a ride knowing he had missed the bus. Before me, there were three generations our families had been friends. He didn't see well, his glasses were frighteningly scratched. He'd seen me dozens of times, but didn't recognize me. "Do you know my father?" he asked.
Yeah, I've known him all my life. I am your teacher's husband. He relaxed. I took him to school.
Years later in the Junior Instructional Ski Program, he was transporting his younger brothers. I was chauffeuring other students. Four hours a day, we could ski. He demonstrated himself as a great skier! I knew he could barely see, I couldn't figure it out! I skied well when the sun was high in the sky, at sundown, the contrast of terrain was lost! How was he doing it?
Ben skies by the seat of his pants. He doesn't use his eyes except to miss trees. His feet tell him about terrain.

You might get burned fingers, but you don't need eyes to weld.
An optimist is usually wrong, and when the unexpected happens is unprepared. A pessimist is usually right, when wrong, is delighted, and well prepared.

A lot of truth in that I have to 'braile weld' sometimes... and usually the bead looks great... now if I could just keep the bead on the joint it would be perfect
Kinda had the same problem on a sled trying to keep up with other guys wearing better 'eye equipment' 'braile sledding' didn't work out so good for me at missing trees didn't hurt the sled much but flipped me off it doing 20mph!!! head over heels!!!

A week or so ago I was wondering how often folks find themselves welding by "ear." I had to do a short weld the other day that I could not reach with my gun. I found a small hole, about the size of the square for a half inch carriage bolt, that I was able to stick a 6011 (first time ever using that too, will probably use it more often now) through. I was able to pivot on the flux and do a short run, clean the weld, then repeat. The welds turned out great, just not exactly where I wanted them to be.

Re: Show us what you welded today
Making a picture frame out of redwood. Going to remake the stainless part. Probably use a thicker piece also so it won’t discolor much
