• Scam Alert. Members are reminded to NOT send money to buy anything. Don't buy things remote and have it shipped - go get it yourself, pay in person, and take your equipment with you. Scammers have burned people on this forum. Urgency, secrecy, excuses, selling for friend, newish members, FUD, are RED FLAGS. A video conference call is not adequate assurance. Face to face interactions are required. Please report suspicions to the forum admins. Stay Safe - anyone can get scammed.
  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Ontario GTA West area meetup is planned for Saturday April 26th at Greasemonkeys shop in Aylmer Ontario. If you are interested and haven’t signed up yet, click here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!

    Spitfire needs work

    The real question is, why isnt insurance fixing it, or selling it, could he not get coverage or did he not have coverage? Of course it would be smarter for him to repair it and either continue flying it, or sell it. But im guessing he either doesn't have the skills or like your leading to, he...

    Anyone know there way around O/A torch brands?

    The valves on the torch handle also need adjustment/tightening over time, when they are loose just grazing the valve with your wrist can cause changes in the flow rate

    Hitch extension

    I think the bigger problem towing travel trailers with lighter trucks Is the sail area, the wind gets pushing that trailer sideways and eventually can take the tow vehicle with it, the faster you go the worse it gets, so keep it at or under the speed limit. That said, highway 2 is littered...

    you don't weigh it until the end when everything is together and its ready to fly, if your cg is out to lunch there is the option of moving the battery as far aft as possible, or ballast. Most of the weight is typically in the front, so ballasting the rear is usually the solution, lead shot...

    Well I've don't plenty on the cowl, that bit of stiffing with the half round backer rod did wonders, it's as stiff as a board now, since then I've cleaned up the front openings, cut the oil door, worked on the air filter housing But one thing I didn't like, the generator/alternator fills up one...
