LA HEAT--20 hour sanding marathon

[frank carlisle]

I tuned the radio to my favorite country station, turned on the lights, broke out the 220 and started sanding the primer coat on the twin. I started yesterday morning at 6 a.m. and sanded till it got dark out. Got back at it this morning and sanded till I was done.

LESSONS LEARNED:

The radio station has a play list of only about two dozen songs. Brodak primer dulls sand paper pretty fast. And I can stand in one spot for a pretty long time.

Sanding for the finish............................
The part of building that we all love to hate! 
It pays off in the final product.

20 hours!!!??? 

I have about three in on my plane so far, and am ready to shoot my sandpaper. I know have lots more to do tho. But not 20hours, ouch!

Its gonna be a beauty Frank, dont stop....

You're way more man than I Frank, I could NEVER handle 20 hours of country music!

[frank carlisle]

YOU GUYS.......heh heh heh.....................

I can't think of a better way to spend the holiday than go thru a few sheets of 220 on an 840 sq. inch plane and listen to how it makes her brown eyes blue, or how when his lady friend said they were going too fast he did what any gentleman would do.............he got a brand new girlfriend....or.....save a horse ride a cowboy. she got the goldmine he got the shaft.

I think I could write a country song myself. Let's see.

          Title--All my buddies are flyin'

    All my buddies are out flyin'
   cause this is the first day it didn't rain
   All my buddies are out flyin'
   But I'm here sanding my new plane

    All my buddies are out flyin'
doing loops and figure eights
but I'm here a sandin
cause I started  buildin' way too late...........................................

Hi Frank,

If you  can add the four requirements for successful country songs, you would definitely go at least double platinum.

1. Beer
2. Pick up truck
3. Shotgun
4. Hound dog

Yeah, but does she think your tractor's sexy? First time I heard that one I about lost it. Good thing I wasn't sanding an aiplane at the time or I would have gone right through the wing...  careful what you listen to.

I tend to listen to the classic rock stations myself... unfortunately, the advertisers for those stations must seem to think that the target listening audience is in pretty rough shape, needs exlax, hair plugs, hemmeroid cream, viagra, weight loss, lasix....

Like I was telling a buddy one night recently, I was really depressed riding the elevator in the Bank of America tower in Tampa one day when I heard a MUSAK (SP?) version on the Stones "Start me up"... talk about making a grown man cry!

    Let's see--------------------

Title-------------- I got a big 'un

    My hound dog  BABE was ridin' shotgun
    In the front seat of my pickup
    where I usually keep my beer
    He couldn't ride in the back today
    because my brand new stunt plane
    was a restin' there.
    We was headin to the flyin' site
    to test out that new plane
    but I couldn't see behind me
    cause the stabilizer blocked the rear view mirror.

    OHHHHH...I got a big 'un!! The biggest plane aroun'
    It's so big - so dog gone big
    it's gonna be the talk of the town

    That ole plane won't fit in my pick up
    it barely fits anywhere
    the wing sticks out over the tailgate
    and the stabilizers bloscks the rear view mirror.

    OHHHHHH..I got a big 'un!! The biggest plane aroun'
    It's so big - so dog gone big
    it's gonna be the talk of the town

Frank: Don't forget a true country song has to have something about Momma and Prison and Blue eyes cry'in in the night.
You don't have to call me darlin,   darlin,  you don't even call me by my name.

[bob branch]

Your right about one thing Frank. We WERE all out flying! I did 2 sessions today.

See ya Saturday at the Rouge Park contest!

Be sure you sand in patterns of the maneuvers. That way sanding can substitute for practice!

"She thinks my tractors sexy"

All it means to me is mowing 7 acres..

[Leroy Heikes]

My nephew is nearly 17 and he has three tractors already. He always has a girl on the tractor with him. So it must be true!

It didn't work for me when I was young though
