That'll come in handy. You have a Bridgeport yet?

My son's favorite plane. One of mine too.

It's the EDF jet I've wanted since I got into RC aircraft...as soon as I had the landing that ultimately snapped my gear yesterday on my Viper, I knew I was going to get the A10, I'm just leaning more and more towards jets than propeller airplanes...so I gotta have a "few", right?

 

[WickedFog]

I wish we had the space outside to fly jets. I'd try my hand at it after some simulator time.

Have 4 Bridgeports at work & 6 CNC VMC mills. One Bridgeport has the horizontal attachment, one has a stroke shaper for blind broaching . One has a round rotary 3 jaw milling chuck, one has a 6" vise. I run all of them when needed & any of the VMCs. My base CNC I run is a Daewoo 3016 w/ three 6" vises. Also have a 4020 Daewoo w/ a 4th axis, 3 Okuma Genos 560s & a 4328 Sharp VMC. I can run any of them.

Same. I'm always taking RC parts in to mod. I can do most everything I need w a drill press. Even fly cutting delrin. I have a small machine vise in route w a swivel base. Can just rotate the vise on the round swivel base under a cutter to mill down blocks without a X & Y cross slide.

All finished, intonation set up perfect, tremolo set up perfect, action nice and low the way I like it.
It plays like a Fender Strat should but the strings on it now are terrible.
My Super Slinky's will be here Tuesday.
The best guitar in the world will sound like trash if the intonation is out. Intonation is important to get right on your guitar to make sure you will always be in tune. Another words, picking a open string has to be identical as fretting the string on the 12 fret except a octave higher.
If intonation is off then playing anything up above the 12 fret will be out of tune.
The tremolo is the bar on the guitar that makes it go wah wah wah so to speak. Super Slinky's are the manufacture strings I use.
The action is how high the strings are above the fret. You have been schooled.

Nice axe, man!

If I had the smallest bit of musical talent I'd ask the same question dB is thinking: Can I have it?

 

[DavidB1126]

Can I have it?

1st sets of these got backordered by Amain. So I grabbed a couple sets off Amazon for our Doomsday build.

They should look good on there. Just realized I don't have any M5 flange nuts for the Rey wheels, so

 

[DavidB1126]

I bought myself a race day and new front buggy tires.
