So many parts

...that i still have to build...

Here is the actual Picture of Work i did today...

after having the Problem, that the Ali welding Wire is almost at its end, i changed from Ali to Steel.

One more week

...and we will drive to the Netherlands, then the morning after, we drive to Belgium, to see our R2 builder friends.

Christian from france will get his left steel foot and i hope to show my droid parts on the show.

 

 

 

So many...

 Ali legs...

But they are almost all begun!

Clean up

I really need to clean up that mess...

Another set

...of Ali legs is done:

Two of three

 ...Ali Center feet are done!

Octagon ports

 i got two octagon ports in perfect cnc'ed quality.

 

A single outer foot

...is desperately needed by a buddy of mine in France.

He had a fire in his working shed some time ago and the rescued rc plane models and r2 parts had severe heat and fire damages or were completely crap!

I will build a foot for him for free (!!) and bring it to FACTS in Gent in Belgium in November.

 

New legs

and another set of ali legs, that have to be build...

i just started them yesterday evening...

New list

I had to Update my List of parts, that i still have to build.

Man, that is a Long list of R2 parts. Mainly in Aluminium, but some parts in Steel too!

Here is a Shot of some ankles, that need to be finished.

A new bottle

i could change the gas bottle last saturday. the shop was luckily open and i went there before starting my business.

now it´s time to weld the newest ali feets, that i could spot weld on some spots, before the gas bottle was empty.

pic will follow

Welding gas

the bottle with argon was empty. 

pic will follow

of course this happened on a friday afternoon, when the gas bottle shop has already closed.

so i finish the last ali feet set for my buddy frank with adding putty here and there to get that perfect finish.

this means sanding afterwards, when dried out, then adding some layers of light grey primer...
