    Mini lathe (and mill) discussion.

    I own an F350 Superduty and multiple trailers so good there. I'll unload my excavator trailer and use that one. Mill is 3000 lbs +/-.

    Mini lathe (and mill) discussion.

    I can get that mill for about the price of a PM25 with stand and shipping. Of course the PM 25 price has risen $500 - $1000 since I've been looking at this mill.

    What beer ya drinking tonight?

    One of my favorite lunches is/are dry ribs at Smokejack. Ate myself silly and washed it down with a Two Hearted Ale.

    Not a pro basketball fan but a lower level free ticket is hard to turn down. POG at the Hawk's playoff game.

    SOLD! Aeroworks QB Extra 300 LP 50cc

    I have a AW 120cc DA powered Edge 540 that was a great flying plane. I ran out of gas flying downwind a couple of years ago and the results were bye bye landing gear and wingtip (shrub/bushy area landing) and I still haven't rebuilt the plane.

    Great stuff guys. I'm still trying to find time to drive and pick up this mill. Owner is being very patient. Waay too big but not much more money than a good bench top mill, especially with inflation.

    Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

    At this point I think this joint will be as good as I can get it. Bury the screws and butt joint in Hysol, counter sink the higher screw and grind the lower screw head and move on to the next step.

    Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

    Much better. M2 is the correct size. Tony, I agree, this is definitely a weak spot. I will put more thought into this before I assemble.

    Communicating now with Jim Reeves of Mick Reeves Models. A short kit with ribs, formers and all non metal parts is pretty cheap. Something tells me a 117" biplane with a multi cylinder 4 stroke doing a slow stalling wingover with smoke on would be pretty cool.

    I would rather build than design. Assuming you mean scratch build.

    My quad OS 320 would look good in that cowl.

    Yes, I know but not in civilian paint. Tiger Moth as well but can be done in civilian. Just not interested in P51/ME109/Spitfire/Etc/etc.

    Maybe a Westland Lysander........

    Thinking Tiger Moth but big. Bob Holman plans (no response from him) are purportedly accurate but not quite big enough. The bigger the 4 cycle engine the better is my preference. Emailed Mick Reeves (purportedly true 1/3 scale) several times but no response either. Any ideas or other planes...
