    IMAC Scroll Saw Blade Recommendations

    I used to have the big expensive one from Dremel. It didn't last one season. I bought the one from harbor freight about 10 years ago. It's still going strong.

    NGH Four Cycle Engines.

    I have one friend with the 38 and it runs great. I have another friend with a 38 that was nothing but a nightmare. He gave it away. The seller was great but they could never get that thing to run right. You pays your money and you takes your chances. It's certainly a bargain price.

    Absolutely insane! I would like to see more of the slow-mo of flights like these so we can study the surface movements involved. Even slower than regular slow-mo would be good! Thanks for sharing this!
