JohnD Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Thanks, Craig for that Banjo Paterson poem - rhyming "Dipped in tar" with "where he are" is inspired. As for the parts (taps nose), no problems, mate. But can't your suppliers provide an invoice with $50 at the bottom, to show the wife? For an extra charge, natch.

I was last out of the plane( other than the cameraman), so I was about 4.3 seconds behind the first ones to leave. By then, the first pair out were already falling at about 95mph to my none, and already about 300' down and 650' horizontally away. So we used gravity to accelerate, and the "moving" air as a fluid to position our bodies to move down and across. Skydiving, in 52.9 years, I've found it's absolutely the most fun you can have with your clothes on... We called that tracvking. Same for you guys?

It must have been a very tempting price for an Ebay impulse buy. I haven't priced conversion kits in Canada, likely would be far cheaper to buy a slightly used one that has been retrofitted. what language does the controller use?

It's an Acu-Rite Millpower system. Runs on a conversational programming system, but can also run modified G-codes. Really nifty bit of kit.

Nick Jones Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 I guess it takes a while because you are actually building an engine and gearbox...... and you are (rightly) being very fussy. Best wishes for the pressure test........ Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
