Add the outboards. More is better.
The 6 grain case won't fit! That means to fly a 4 grain motor, I'd have to buy a 4 grain case.
OK, I pretend I have a clue what I'm talking about... Couldn't you pack the recovery gear in the space around the motor tube? Looks like you have a good bit of room there even with a 6g motor...
I'd have to move the av-bay u-bolt off to the side to clear the motor case.
A possible option, you can get a section of tubing 40" in length. That's what I did, after looking at possible 6 and 6xl motors I might stuff in it.
Who sells longer lengths of 7.51" cardboard airframes?
What was I thinking?
Is it Top Gear and rockets every night at your place?
Top Gear UK
BBC America: Top Gear
Top Gear USA
Basically it's a program that originated in the UK, is viewable here in the US via BBC America and on Youtube. There is an American version as well but with different characters and shot here in the US.
My favorite episode is the Toyota pick-up that wouldn't die. It still makes me giggle when I think about what they did to the poor beast and still couldn't kill it.
But the American presenters have the collective appeal of watching paint dry (at least to me).
No, BBC America doesn't show Top Gear every night. :tongue:
Okay... I'll bite... what is top gear (other than 5th or 6th)???
Sorry, I tried to quote with the picture but it didn't show up. In post 110 the tv is on and Top Gear is playing in the back ground.
End thread jack, back to Bluto building!
I use MSC Direct. They probably have 10 different quality levels of #1 to #50 (or #60) sets at 10 different prices https://www1.mscdirect.com/eCommerc...e=Category-_-BodyLink-_-Drilling+&+Drill+Bits for all drillsI know a lot of people hate Harbor Freight, but I like them. Not just because they're cheap, but because they have stuff. Neither Home Depot, nor Lowe's, nor Sears had numbered drill bits. I got this set from HF for $16 with the coupon I had. I know they wouldn't last under hard use, but then I'm not a machinist.
I used some wood shims, and got the jig to sit fairly close to level. I'll have to fix it better once I figure out how to do it. I attached the piece of 3/8" plywood to the jig with a #8 sheetrock screw, and cut the circle. It worked great! Sure am glad I put that new blade on the bandsaw. I drilled out the center hole to 1/4" to mount it on the lathe.
This week on the New Yankee Workshop reruns on the website, Norm builds some jigs, including and upgraded circle cutting jig. He uses a piece of hardwood in the miter slot to align it. He screws his into the table, but you could simply make it the same size as the table and clamp it down to the outer edges. A clamping strip underneath would be what I'd do.
He starts the circle jig at about 15:12.

Norm is a woodworking god.
I second that! If I wasn't married and he wasn't a dude I'd ask him out.

Good thing I got the drill bit set, because I ended up using the #11 bit, instead of the #12.
Talk about fiddly bits! I swore a bit getting everything in place, but I think it might actually work. I'll be using 30 minute epoxy for the extra setting time.
