Re: My first skill level five rocket
It's a Xarconian Cruiser. A fun kit, indeed. I flew mine at NSL 2015. It flew well, but I should have used fillets on the pods. One popped off and the other's joint let go a little. Fixed now... Are you going for face card finish? Allen I'm not sure, my thoughts flip flop on that. I have a "sp...

Barrack to the people, don't worry about Hillary's server.
Is Barrack Obama sending a clear message to his Attorney General and the FBI? Don't bother trying to prosecute Hillary, because I say she's not guilty? That could be one intrpretation of his interview on "Fox News Sunday". “She would never intentionally put America in any kind of jeopardy,...

TSA Radomizer costs mega bucks to create
I remember back in the good old days of the TRaSh 80 computers when I was in school, learning how to create a random number from 1-6 to simulate a die roll. Later in life, I created a program for all the die rolls needed for AD&D character creation to help speed things. In the chat rooms of the ...

Re: Very Taxing time in Ohio
I'm not trying to imply that you shouldn't adjust your withholding, just that you shouldn't have a large amount in a refund. The main thing was that there was no way to adjust my withholding to within a reasonable level. The government was making a certain amount (think of it as overcharging) mandat...

Very Taxing time in Ohio
So I recently had my tax returns done including my state returns, here in Ohio. I ended up with a healthy (by state standards, not federal, which with all the credits can get absurd :roll:) return. On a per paycheck basis, it came out to around $20 extra being withheld from each of my checks. I cons...

Re: Shuttle Express glider mount point repair
Commander said Nov 29, 2015 Place the newly formed stand off against the stand off on the opposite side. Hold the formed loop against the body tube and mark the support at the end of the existing loop. https://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/600x399q90/c/910/L8PROW.jpg Now make another mark approximately ...

Re: Shuttle Express glider mount point repair
Commander said Nov 29, 2015 We can do some tweaking to the styrene stand-off by reheating over the candle if necessary and manipulating into the desired shape. Slow, steady and careful are the key words here. https://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/600x399q90/c/911/HRTuei.png Make sure you check the fit t...

Re: Shuttle Express glider mount point repair
Commander said Nov 15, 2015 In the next steps, you will be working with heated styrene. It is hot, and can burn badly if heated to a melting temperature. We want it just warm enough to were it will soften and bend, not "melt". Please use caution. Next is to wrap the softened plastic around...
