I just hope you know how to put all that $hit back together! Haha

Hey I torque my cylinder bolts to 90 in lb. With a dab of blue loctite.

Is that what you do?

I don't have a torque wrench... so I use the lbs per fangers' gage. 30lbs/fanger'. 90lbs? Three fangers'. Got me, son? hehe

That's about what my 90 and 112 look like. Both have quite a bit of time although the 112 is just over 10 gallons. Switching from pipes back to muffs as the pipes don't seem to like all the G's I'm putting them through so I got another look. Been running 32-34:1 Redline from the start.

I just got this new table saw. It's a cross cutter, side cutter, miter cutter, scroll cutter, saw. It takes normal jigsaw blades. And, if you're like me and don't have much space nor money... this thing is awesome.

Yeah... I've just been using my jigsaw by hand and then sanding it down even after. This thing gives factory straight results first time. I'm not "building" anything so I always just get though the cutting one way or another. But, once you have one of these for a measly $99... well?... I can't imagine going back to hand cutting... even if it is only a piece now and then.

Really nice. I want one. I'd probably do more building.

This isn't a Pilot RC plane, but something I was working on tonight... reworking the H9 Sukhoi hatch bolts/blindnuts. The stock ones were shot after about 4 flights with the DA-170. They were 3mm and had junk hardwood blocks that just split and broke off... just from vibration. But, the recessed holes for the top of the 3mm bolts really didn't allow for rubber washers. So, anyway, I sanded off what was left of the stock junk hardwood blocks and replaced them with 1/4" aircraft plywood blocks (that I cut with my new tablesaw, haha). I went with 4mm blindnuts and bolts. I also Z-poxied in the recessed holes so I could use large rubber washer/sealing washers. Should hold up nice now, this is the same setup that comes stock on the Pilot RC planes and it has needed no maintenance on those planes as of yet.

3pm yesterday, Saturday... perfect conditions... it was just me and my plane at the field. Lately it has been "no guys, and no flies." haha
