  • 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!

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.

    The hypocrisy and unfairness in schooling

    As I recall, and please let a more experienced pilot correct me, throttle to idle, pull up until stall hit right rudder and hold. Watch in slow motion as the ground turns. Release rudder, level wings and pull up until roughly level and apply power. Great fun!

    I use a PC board with a clip lead to the router bit. The piece is laid on top of the part I want to carve and the MACH3 code I wrote subtracts the thickness of the PCB from the Z value. The whole point of TTS holders or the more expensive type used on HAAS etc is that you measure once, cut...
