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

[acerc]

This why it is so difficult buying and trying to get technical info from a country that does not speak English. You are always second guessing what they said or trying to explain.
Seeing I have to wait for aircraft international to open up again I can ask the question again.

That is most definitely true. I had a couple technical question's with the EMHW kits that basically was gibberish to me. Also sent inquiries to Valach direct and did not understand their response either.
But the quality of products is well worth working around the shortcomings of information. I am sure Gerhard will be able to give you all the answers you are needing.

Driving home at 1:15am. Had to stay a few minutes late to write up our inop time clock. Thank you Lord! I would have been pancaked buy a cluster of 8 or so trees. I was the first on scene of what tripped the power. It’s been dry, I think they got uprooted by the 40mph gusts. My wife asked why I wasn’t home, she drove up to save me and I went and got my chainsaw and started it up at 2am ha ha. Loved it. My wife said I looked like Bigfoot out there.

Noticed the power was out and then followed by showing up to this... crazy

2am chainsaw! Yeah!!! Sorry folks... had to get home!

Bigfoot: aka me

It’s nice having a buddy who owns a stump grinder and is willing to loan it out to me for free.

Added some more LED’s to my 39” Crack Yak for night flying. I added a few when I first built it. But it was hard to see when it got really dark. Not anymore!

That's what that bright glow in the western skies was the other night. I thought the earth had reversed it's rotation and the sun was coming up in the West.

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 components to it. Once that’s done I can tilt the table towards me while I’m actually wiring the comments keeping me from having to be leaned over the table the whole time.

I've been debating with FutabaUSA. LOL. If your FCC sticker is no longer stuck to your receiver they will not replace your antenna unless you have proof of purchase in which they will.... (I forsee stickers being peeled off and restuck to a different reciever, or sending a proof of purchase for another reciever even if it's not the same one). They will not sell me antennas because they are not approved yet.... Strange, I have an FCC licence and it's just a coax cut and stripped to length. Looks like I'm am going to source myself out to ebay. Might even make my own. LOL cheaper than buying another receiver. Disappointing I cannot just buy one from them. What's this world coming to?

Check aloft hobbies. The ones they sell for FrSky receivers will prolly fit just fine.
