Just order a Yaesu FT2DR radio. If you are in the market for a radio with APRS and a built in GPS receiver they are only $279 after rebate from Gigaparts.com
reverse engineered my wife's smart phone
new lcd/screen and frame is due in Tuesday + replacing battery while apart
Got the base for the bandsaw primed and painted and clear-coated thanks to the gorgeous weather we had here today.
I ran out of the correct hardware for the motor mount, so a trip to the hardware store is in order, but it is all back in one piece anyhow for now.
Also got rid of one couch to make room for turning my house into one big ORGANIZED workspace.

These few parts cost me $20 :surprised:. Now I need to pour through various schematics and find one that works for me.
3 bank launch controller?
Edited together a video from the launch I attended last weekend.

Let's see, today I got a base coat of silver paint on my MAC Scorpion, and the decals for it arrived from Stickershock. Due to my planned paint scheme, I decided that the standard decal logo for it was too big, so I asked Mark to make a half-size version. I think it'll be perfect.
Also, wait for it...
...I finished the Berthasaurapod, after only six months. Most of that time was waiting to get to painting...
Well, I use the term "finished" loosely. It will need a clearcoat yet, since the green paint is matte and the green vinyl is glossy, and I have to put in the parachute. But other than that, yeah, finished!
Let's see... I assembled a 12" plastic parachute for some LPR models. Then I butt glued sheeting for the fin skins on my Mega Der Red Max. And I'm still contemplating how to address some rolled/crushed tubing on the MDRM BT . It affects about 1/2 of the circumference, and is almost 1/2" wide on the NC end. I inserted the NC upside down into that end initially to "un-curl" the tubing a little without splitting it. Rather than cut 1/2" off, I'm thinking I might be able to strengthen it with some thin CA on the inside. Filler Primer should then take care of the outside during finishing . At least that's the idea right now, but I'm open to hearing arguments against doing it that way, so long as you offer another approach with supporting argument .
