Still at it.

I was watching Mike Holmes fix some house when they were using a roll of fiberglass mesh sticky tape on wall board joints. There was a roll of the stuff left here several years ago and I got to wondering about it. I wanted to test just how sticky it was and put a strip over a hole in the basement ceiling. It stuck. I got the spackle and spread some on the tape covering the hole. It stayed put and is now dry. Then I started covering holes and seams all over the ceiling. One thing led to another and now the ceiling is painted and I patched the holes in the dark room ceiling too. That is drying and can be painted in a few days.
  The driveway still needs seal coating. I found some sealer at Benny's for $23.00 a pail. I need the ambition first.
  We made another video of me flying this morning. It came out blurred as I aimed it higher than the first outing and the camera couldn't focus. It was enough to show me where I need to work on. The overhead 8's go off center a lot.
 A fun fly at Wrentham next weekend.
  As with the El Camino the carb. didn't open all the way. The pedal assembly needed to be taken out and the arm slipped off the splined shaft and rotated one spline. The pedal sticks out a lot more but the carb. opens up now. Wicked power.
