that's weird.. no news organizations have picked up on this story, even after the thread's been running for a few days. also, this and one other forum has the same topic.

All this talk about old computers has brought back some memories for me.

I remember banging out a word processing program on a VIC-20 with tape drive. That took about a half a day to type in, but...

actually, the program/erase cycles have dropped due to the shrinkage in transistor size, but the wear-levelling logic has mitigated it somewhat. I still can't be comfortable with an SSD until the...

been ridiculously busy for the past few days and today was a long one. I'm completely knackered from it. It'll calm down soon and maybe then I can shoot some primer.

I can't recommend that anyone get an SSD right now in good conscience. Wait until they figure out the longevity problems before buying SSD

Just pick up two sticks of the cheapo 4gb and you're good to go. memory's ridiculously cheap nowadays (8gb, 50 bucks), load up on as much as you can. But keep in mind, you're dealing with a dell,...

One time, when I was a lot younger, I finished up a nice Quest Nike Smoke. One of my best models back then.

Everything was hooked up, pressed the ignition button and she lit up. went about eight...

I keep it simple. Figure eight knot.

laquer thinner rocks as a cleaner. you can dump it into the cup, swish it about, and either spray some through the brush or dump it back into the can. Interdental brushes work great for those hard...

never did see the rise. All the good views are blocked by hundred foot tall trees where I live.

yeah, seeing as it's an industrial-grade product, I'm not suprised none of the stores you went to had some. Try an Auto Body shop.

this is what you'll be looking for. ...

just remember to look for a tip that can handle a viscous epoxy mix well.

Fillets are done. First, I blocksanded them with 120 grit, then blended the edges in with 240 grit.

yeah no kidding. that's at most twenty bucks of material there.

2 g80's in an executioner?

holy crap!!



that is for sure. I built mine using mostly WeldBond. Internal fillets are straight from the bottle. Everywhere else, a 1:10 mix of glue/water. It...

I tracked down the issue that caused the bad epoxy job. It was the mixing tip. So if you end up using the epoxy I did, make sure the tip you get can mix highly viscous fluids well, otherwise you're...

180 to 500, then wetsand with 1000. remember to block with 180.

no reshoot necessary.

I don't think so...

the other fillets are rock hard.

well this isn't so good. I put the fillets on friday, and expected them to be hard as a rock by now. I guess a giant air bubble was in the hardener that I had no idea about. So I let that one...

well, it's kind of hard to show in a photo but i think this...

is the closest approximation of the two greens I'm going to use.




I tested it...

simple designs, ridiculous altitudes. Mainly based around F-G size engines and I think I was able to hit about 10000ft with some engines. Feel free to add stuff and see how high you can go.

Halfway done, and ready for final sanding...

Hey all, new here and all that fun stuff, bla bla bla...


anyways, straight to business.

I picked up an Executioner kit on friday, assembled it and had it ready for finishing on monday and...
