    I’m going out flying thread 2019

    Mini lathe (and mill) discussion.

    Well if there is anything I know about lathes it's the tooling that will cost you in the end. I would check out all the attachments, and costs as well as the overall cost of the unit. I'd love to have a mini lathe as well. I have access to one for now, so I'll use that :)

    Nice! I see you used a power supply with a battery charger 12.3V @ 5A 20gauge... how did you setup your charger for this? This build process is intriguing!

    Love it! I have a H9 P40 with a Saito 82... nitro... I haven't flown it in forever (because of the Nitro thing), but since a P40 is my favorite fighter on the WWII scene... it's my hangar queen right now.
