    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    This is from the last two logs that needed milling yesterday. the shorter pieces used to be one long piece but unfortunately during the first cut some tension was released in the log so the decision was made to cut it in half and then mill the two shorter pieces to be able to get more usable...

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    I will look into that. What I have read never seemed like it would be a problem. The stack will still have to be broken down again anyways as I plan to spray all the wood down with a borax and water solution. It wont kill any bugs that are there but it should prevent anymore from coming after...

    Nope. The sticky on the one pic is where Aloft Hobbies flashed the new firmware on it for me so I can bind to all of my old X series receiver in ACCST mode for now. Now just need to get my old radio programs imported into this radio. Was reading there is some process that has to be done. Gonna...

    Question for you spectrum guys. My UMX timber. Wanna make the ailerons work as flaps. They are both on seperate channels. How do I go about setting it up. Things look different from my old futaba or how I know to do it with my taranis.

    Side job day. My younger brother works for a company that inspects and services water towers. They needed some electrical work done installing a mixer and circulating pump in this tank. So we get to run 1” rigid conduit up the side of the tank leg today. Brought my UMX timber hoping to fly at...

    yeah I spoke with the people at Aloft Hobbies. The radios they have in stock are from before the firmware upgrade with ACCST on it. They offered to update it for me though at no charge so I took them up on it.

    @Forgues-Research I think I will pull the trigger on a X9 Lite today. Been doing a lot of research and liking what I see. Some mods will be made to the radio to better suit me but overall I think I will really like it. FrSky recently released a firmware update that allows it to bind to any old...

    Just the way some of them are. Buddy of mine has a DX8 that the backlight has stopped working on. Horizon says they will fix it if he sends it back to them but are not allowed to sell him the part to fix it himself. For what ever reason the backlit LCD is only able to be sold in Europe.

    I’m going out flying thread 2019

    No flying today but before the rain came we took our nephew out for putt putt, laser tag, arcade games, and go carts at our local sports park. He had never been on a go cart before and did great having a great time. Though I don’t think he was appreciative of me giving him the ole bump and run...

    Table I designed and had our fab shop at work build for me. Designed for when building new electrical control panels. Idea behind it is to save my back. It adjust in both height and angle. Basically when starting to build a panel I have it laying flat while I’m mounting all the different...
