Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Helicopters / May 2008Where to buy
I need a hex start shaft that has a shaft length of 9 inches so the starter cup sits above the rotor head when placed in position. There is not enough room to tilt the shaft as it passes through the elevator control yoke which only has a small hole and the amount of tilt required for my current shaft makes the starter rub somewhere.

What you need my friend is a tool supply house where one can purchase hexagon bar or even long "ball" ended Allen keys. Cut off the short end of a long ball ended Allen key. A Dremel and a cut-off wheel do this superbly. It's no biggie to carve out a ball shape at one of of a hex bar using nothing more sophisticated than a bastard file either, so no f.cking excuses, eh?

Don't you have manual bastard files on leftpondia Kev? SignatureBeav VN 750 Zed 1000 OMF# 19 >Don't you have manual bastard files on leftpondia Kev? Manual tools are for Nancy-boys. :) >>Don't you have manual bastard files on leftpondia Kev? > > Manual tools are for Nancy-boys. :) You f.cking ARE Norm Abrahams (and I claim my five bucks) SignatureBeav VN 750 Zed 1000 OMF# 19 >>>Don't you have manual bastard files on leftpondia Kev? >> >> Manual tools are for Nancy-boys. :) > >You f.cking ARE Norm Abrahams (and I claim my five bucks) Norm Abrahams is THE man... I wish I had his shop.... I'd be scratch building helis out of walnut and rock maple.... I bought myself a new nailgun so I didn't have to swing a hammer this past weekend hanging rafters on the poolhouse... >>>>Don't you have manual bastard files on leftpondia Kev? >>> [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Norm Abrahams is THE man... Isn't he just. > I wish I had his shop.... I'd be scratch > building helis out of walnut and rock maple.... We had a TV ad on over here for The Discovery Chan and it included a guy in a plaid check shirt with a false beard and safety glasses on. In a shed at the bottom of his back garden surrounded by 20 more plaid check shirts (red, of course). No mention was made of Norm or "This old" / "New Yankee Workshop", but any words would've been redundant anyway. > I bought myself a new nailgun so I didn't have to swing a hammer this > past weekend hanging rafters on the poolhouse... I've done similar. A nail gun one weekend and a stapler/nail gun the next. They sit alongside my circular saw, radial arm saw, jig saw, belt sander, pillar drill, pillar sander, vibro saw and f.cking none of them get used:-) Well ALMOST never. This week I need a chainsaw, so my gardener is getting me one on Thursday (that's today now). I can hardly wait :-) SignatureBeav VN 750 Zed 1000 OMF# 19 >I've done similar.

My kids are contstantly breaking/mangling stuff so it's a good part-time job fixing whatever they've "altered" Here's what I bought the new nail gun for: http://www.net-cetera.com/BackYard/photos/photo341.jpg >>I've done similar.

SignatureBeav VN 750 Zed 1000 OMF# 19 >My one and only has flown the coop, so I don't have many jobs to do these >days. I can't wait until my kids finally move out. I'll be able to keep corner bead ding free, paint free of handprints and smudges and carpet and furniture clean.. And imagine the money I can spend on helis then without having to feed and clothe 'em!!! Kev you think that when they move out its all over ? dream on the bills cost even more when they run out of money and you have less control of what they spend it on :-( That is if your conscience want let you let them get in to the hands of the banks taking all there spare cash of them for charges etc. >>My one and only has flown the coop, so I don't have many jobs to do these >>days.

My boy already has a couple grand in his savings account and he's not even 12 yet.. Still, I'll be saving a ton on just food and toilet paper alone.. I'm amazed how much a teenaged girl can eat in the course of a week. Same here Boy no worry girls lots of worry, hence model helix's while flying no brain power left to worry about anything else, best form of medicine there is :-)) Rob > The girls I'd be worried about.

With girls, you need to worry about all the dicks. :) >>Same here Boy no worry girls lots of worry, hence model helix's while >>flying [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > With a boy, you only need to worry about one dick.

You've got a lot of learnin' to do Kev:) SignatureBeav VN 750 Zed 1000 OMF# 19 >You think you're going to spend LESS money when they move out? You've got a >lot of learnin' to do Kev:) Yes, on THEM. I'm sure my spending on ME will increase dramatically. :) >>You think you're going to spend LESS money when they move out? You've got >>a >>lot of learnin' to do Kev:) > > Yes, on THEM.

Kids!. :-) SignatureBeav VN 750 Zed 1000 OMF# 19 >I used to think that, then the boy-chic moved out and took all my money with >him, then decided to keep on coming back for more.
