Build Class Nov 20, 2019 - This coming Wednesday!

[Frank v B]

Come join us at our Build Class this Wednesday.  I should be there early for dinner by about 5 pm.  At about 6:30 pm we will go downstairs to the meeting room.  It is just another way for friends and frenemies to get together and talk model airplanes.

Bring your projects whether they are build projects or repair projects.

: I will be bringing my Tiger Moth Project which should be ready to cover by then.

: Piker, if he can make it, can bring his Starlet project.

: Bruce, if he can stand it and make it, can cover Foam Building and repair.  His specialty of course is eating and spitting out foam with his Warwings.

: Moshe needs some help with a project that he talked to me about several weeks ago.

ps: I have sent an invitation to Mr Hoffer to see if he will do his "How to add snow skis to your winter plane".  We await his answer.

re: Andy's ski presentation:  "ps: I have sent an invitation to Mr Hoffer to see if he will do his "How to add snow skis to your winter plane".  We await his answer. "

Andy has regretfully declined...... because his boss said his talents are required at a social occasion outside of TEMAC.  He was kind enough to offer to loan me his notes and samples.

There is no way I am doing his presentation and getting abuse hurled at me.  They deserve to go Andy's way.  As well, I want to get in on doling out abuse.

Added Topic

How to change a broken shaft on a Power 32.

Broke the shaft on my Power 32 early this summer.  The replacement came in today.  I will ask anyone attending if they want to show us how to do it....or... I will suffer through it myself.

Frank

Bought 2.  One to replace this broken one and the second one to get it right.!

[davidk]

Will you need some kind of tool to remove the old shaft?  Too push it out of the housing?

[Frank v B]

David,

Items needed: Allen key, pliers, heat gun, oil and .....if things don't go well.... a 2 1/2 pound mallet that is just big enough.
I will bring the stuff.  I have replaced a shaft in a 480 before and it went fine but not a bigger* motor.


Frank

* it's all relative.  Bigger for me... smaller for Michael.

I was there and it really was more fun than what the pictures depict.  (Based on our expressions we all look like we were in purgatory which was not the case.)  A most entertaining evening. 

[davidk]

Engrossed, I'd say.  Although, that is my expression for a multitude of emotions.

Frank used specific numbers.  I should have taped it.

I learned about washout... and why... and HOW !!

The twist in Piker's Eaglet wing is poetic.

1st - BJ - I hope you feel better
2nd - The projects discussed look fantastic!
3rd - Thanks for all the great ideas. I'll post a couple if pics for fun
4th - I'm not sure how Frank got David I confused - He's way smarter than I am

Thank you all for your building tips.

Good thing about this hobby is that you have the option to learn something every day.

I almost forgot Adam's CNC cutting machine. Wondering if Adam could provide more details.

The CNC cutting machine I got is this one:

And the ribs I showed off were cut with the 0.8mm bit from this set

They give a discount if you buy the two together.

I'm scratchbuilding this little gem from Airtronics:

And finally, the 3D printer I mentioned was this one:
