Back to back builds

This forum contains builder discussion topics. These are topics where members can post messages to the builders. These topics will stay at the top of the Badland Builds forum topics for easy access.

Members are encouraged to subscribe to builders they wish to follow. To subscribe, go into the Badlands Builds forum, scroll down to Topics. Select the topic of the builder you wish to follow. Click on the wrench at the top of the message (right next to the Post Reply). Click on the Subscribe Topic. From then on an email notice will be sent when a post is made in that builder's discussion log topic. Builders are encouraged to subscribe to their own discussion topic so they will be notified when someone leaves a post for them.

At the very top of the Badlands Builds forum are the builders sub-forums. Builders are the only ones allowed to post in their own sub-forum (remember this is a log for them and others to follow, not a discussion area) - that's what the builder discussion topics are for.

Builders - submit a request using the comment, private message, or email to request a builder sub-forum. If we become aware of a build, in most cases we'll automatically create a builders log for the builder.

Bare with me fellas. Back to back RTF builds. I'll try get pics on here best I can. Does anyone want access to my Google photos? Wait, maybe that's dangerous. :lol:

Happy to take photo requests.

I'm not sure which I admire more - the build or the shop it's taking place in! :lol:

Funny to that Peer and I were just talking about putting on the Oratex as well as I was reading in the build manual about the application and sealing of the ribs. By the way that's a great manual. Detailed really well. Feel free to post a link or picture from your Google photos!

Peer is in the middle of building the supports for towing with folded wings. It's a pretty cool design he's got to keep vibration and airflow forces from causing any issues. I'm going to most likely follow his lead as I'm seeing really high hanger fees here in Dallas and in Florida (retirement destination), so towing home is going to be a requirement. I hope I have enough land to have a pretty good size shop set up to have the wings fully unfolded if needed. Plus hey if it's big enough, do you need a south east distributor? Hahahaha!

Thanks for taking the time to post some pictures. I know you're super busy, but even the busiest of people have to take a break from time to time to keep their sanity - happy to have you here.

Thanks,
Todd

Looking good - definitely keep the pics coming! And I am super envious of your workshop, but you already know that. :D
