What Did You Do Today???

[Tony]

I can't put a temp gauge in my garage. If I did, I couldn't tell the wife that it's a million degrees out there with a straight face

 

[RandyDSok]

also shopping around for a Skull Canyon NUC, damn those things aren't cheap.

Rule of thumb...

If it's the latest, biggest, fastest or smallest.... it is NOT the cheapest....

a bit of sim, a bit of gaming, and a big cup of coffee.

China just sent me several motors to test. I'm busy as it is, behind on other projects. So much to do so little time .

 

[Geena]

Nice. What will you be testing them in?

 

[ChopDrifter]

Nice. What will you be testing them in?

Most likely 450 and 250 helis Geena, when I get the time.

 

[ChopDrifter]

Forgot to mention, once I get my rcbenchmark Thrust test stand, I will test these motors on thrust and hopefully compare them with other similar motors in their class. Then once that's done try them on helicopters.

 

[Geena]

Sweet. Keep us up to date on the outcome.

I just ordered Next flight simulator. I`ve been wanting to give it a go, and that`s what team Gaui uses. So I got a copy coming. It should be here before the weekend.

Managed to get a bit of time to customise my wrt1900acs router. There were some services that was enabled by default with the custom openwrt firmware, that I disabled. But I also enabled sensord. I'll let this setup run for a week and if it's all smooth, I'll make a backup. Here's hoping.

a bit of calisthenics, a bit of gaming, a bit of sim, and a cup of coffee.

oh and house chores

 

[ChopDrifter]

bought several props, prop adapters, 4mm shafts for my Thrust Meter. I'm not a Plane pilot so I hope I got everything I need to make this work.

 

[ChopDrifter]

got my Thrust meter today, just waiting on the props and other stuff.

Installing some new add-on's for the site. First is the Quick Thread. You will notice at the top of every page there is a Post New Thread button. Click on this, even from the forum home page and it will bring up a menu of where you would like to post. Makes it very easy for new members to make their first few posts.

Very nice Tony, good job

 

[Admiral]

Today I finished off a refurb job on and old JR Venture 50CP that I was given, it had been hanging on a wall tail down and fell off totally wrecking the back end.
This is not a full restore, just enough so that it looks good sitting up in my bar, a full restore would require a new motor and all the electrics, for flying I'll stick to electric, no nitro allowed at our field.

 

[ChopDrifter]

nice, is that a BBQ in your bar?

 

[Tony]

Alright Keith, we need some video of your bar!!!

 

[Admiral]

nice, is that a BBQ in your bar?

Yes that's a BBQ & range hood, gets plenty of work.

Alright Keith, we need some video of your bar!!!

Maybe tomorrow Tony, we have just made it safe for a tropical storm that is looming down on us.
