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!

Post it to youtube and link it, we gotta see this baby run !
Yah, I gotta figure out that YouTube thing one day. I hacked together a little video from my iPhone clips but I really need to learn some basic editing skills on my PC app (Premiere Elements). This still will have to do for now. The warble prop isn't particularly attractive, but it does mean its spinning haha.
I'm also slowly catching up on a more detailed build thread on other model engineering forums which has forced me to organize my pics & verbiage a bit better. The project took so many twists & turns over extended period, the exercise is also for my own sanity. I did test a mini slideshow format, basically stringing pics together of a specific theme like 'pistons'. That might be a good compromise because I could probably assemble 30 specific themed chapters. No narration or anything, just substance with the odd text slide for elaboration.
Well, immediate task at hand is a few tuning issues after teardown inspection so I can do some legitimate break-in runs. It started & ran quite well but I kept the throttle in bottom third & mixture rich. Didnt want to press my luck on the first outing.

I have used DropBox for the forum Peter. It works good enough. After I upload my video to dropbox, I share a link which I copy and paste here. I can do all this on my phone. But it works well on a computer too.
