I'm going to second the opinion that the Skywinder is a less than spectacular product. I have owned two and both were destroyed on their first flight. From my experience, it seems that the instructions call for way too much nose weight to be added. The central body tube on one of mine...

A lot of wifi cards have their own pieces of software for hooking up to networks that they install and want you to use instead of the built in windows program. In my experience, frequently there programs have issues or make life harder. The default windows program has an icon that looks like a...

This is an awesome project you have going here. The wood work is great. I see you have a Kaeser compressor; good choice. They make some awesome compressors.

I found another video of the things the squirrels have to go through... flight training. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3Ya6z-NlDo

WOOHOO!!!!! Down go the Canucks and on we go to the conference finals.

They didn't fare so well last night. :) My Hawks now need to pull off the win in Vancouver on Sat.

That definitely sounds like a dead motherboard. If the CPU or RAM is fried, generally the computer will turn on, i.e. fan and hard drive spin up, but you will have no video output. The symptoms you have point to a fried PSU or mobo, and given you have tested the PSU already... It might be...

Here's mine. Unfortunately the image is partially cut off on the site. The bottom caption reads "So big you would've thought it were 3 states." https://www.thesmashsite.com/shop/product.php?shirt=idawahio

Yeah, they are still putting out the Satellite Interceptor. The Crossbow has additional fins and no tubes on the wings, so it isn't exactly a downscale. For everyone looking for these kits, the stores in my area were stocking the shelves with them when I stopped by at 10:30 PM tonight; they...

I hit up three Wal-marts in my area over my lunch break and none of them have these kets yet. :( I guess I just ahve to be patient.

The motor mount centering rings are the standard carboard, its just the ones for the external tube that are not. They will be locked in place and supported by the fins when they are installed.

By this point, I had completely started skipping all over the place in the directions. I next decided to pack the nose cone with clay. Sunward included more than enough clay to do this. I filled the nose cone 100% and still had a large piece left over. Next, I started working on the...

Next off was separating the laser cut fins from their balsa sheets. The fins were cut very nicely and matched exactly. I sanded an airfoil on all the fins. Although the kit came with a very long elastic shock cord, I decided to add a short kevlar leader first so that I could anchor it...

Back while Sunward was doing their 25% off sale, I picked up the Interplanetary Shuttle kit as I liked it's lines. I just started working on it today finally. First off, we have the contents: The directions start you off with assembling the motor mount. It's a standard mount, similar...

Wow, I didn't realize the sustainable were in the wild yet. I will have to hit up Wal-mart tomorrow as I want one of these.

While their chances of going all the way are slim, I have to say... GO BLACKHAWKS!!! In reality, I am just ecstatic that they made it to playoffs again after so many years of not doing so.

That is the 0.33 downscale SWAT. It's a BT5 min. diameter rocket. The nozzle on the back is display only; it has to be removed to install the engine.

My pet is definitely not as cuddly as most that have been shown. This is my snapping turtle, Kildar, named after a character in a book I like. I'm not sure of the sex yet on this one. I've had it for about a year. It's pretty amazing how long its neck is. Unfortunately, it was being camera...

Here's a picture of my builds that are waiting paint. I forgot to mention the Stealth that I had also completed. As you can see from the half painted SWAT, I tend to do my own paint schemes. :P

I'll try to get some up tomorrow. My personal camera died, so I have to borrow the shop camera from work. Say, what is the rocket to the front left of the SaturnV with the plane-like profile and the USA decal on the side?
