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

    I used a 6"L x3"H x 2"D plastic project box, Micro 3amp DPDT toggle (for reversing) and a momentary push on switch. All parts can be had at Radio Shack if one is still open in your area. I fabricated 2 laminations of 1/16th light ply to make a mount adaptor. I used baking soda and thin ca to...

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

    I think my buddy's bird is going to be a bit "lighter and healthier!" :) Still have to fabricate an ignition bed and custom machine some stand offs to get that great spinner to cowl fit. Removed a bunch of unnecessary fuel line, wire extensions, spiral wrap and the ignition battery. Once...

    My luck.....Would have died just as the wheels left the ground and after returning to the idle position. And a muddy ditch at the end of the runway. Great Save to you though!:attaboy:.

    You absolutely have a mighty fine "beauty" on your table:). Good for both the Dr. and the patient:attaboy:. Me. More like a proctologist . Pretty much what comes out the end :steamer: (by having to gut and re do):laughing:. But hopefully it will be a better, cleaner, more reliable ride for the...

    Exactly! :yesss:. I run them exclusively :cheers:. But WAIT! I did set up a M*A*S*H unit to do a complete bowel removal and replacement on a patient that had spaghetti bowl syndrome:ooh?:. Sanitizing is the best procedure for this ailment and complete recovery is expected! I do not believe...

    GSN GIVE-A-WAY Hangar 9 35% Extra 300X Assembly

    On both engines the L and H needles were about 1/4 L 1/8 H turned in from the start point settings (1.25L 1.5H for 26cc 1.5L+H for 50cc). During tuning on both engines I only made a very slight adjustment 1/16L turned in (both engines) and left the HS needle on the 26 alone but opened the HS...

    GSN GIVE-A-WAY Hangar 9 35% Extra 300X Assembly

    Hello Don. Would you mind posting a picture of your modified carb and the instructions that came with it ? Sounds as if one is to keep "those settings" alone and maybe they set them to your specific location? What concerns me is keeping a decent tune. At my location I'm at sea level but the air...

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

    After seeing those servo grommets my OCD sent me to new heights and I actually pulled apart the carb with out having to take pictures :attaboy:. So here are some pictures :oblong:. Found some demons inside. Bunch of metallic debris and crud on the screen and the "pump" gasket stiffened with...

    GSN GIVE-A-WAY Hangar 9 35% Extra 300X Assembly

    I would think then the L and H needles are fighting each other in their ability to deliver a "steady flow" at the transition point. Maybe moding the differential pressure "sensing" ports inside the carb bore right about where the main butterfly is what their doing? I don't really know just...

    Sport The Behemoth Yak gets a Behemoth Brother/129" Pilot Yak (2)

    Absolutely. I have NEVER weathered a "Gravity Storm" very well. Specially when they buzz around your head. Kinda like the eye of a hurricane. Nice and calm for a bit then BAM :):concern::trance::black-eye::money_talks::on_the_go: and repeat.
