Just playing mindgames!
I got the nice book "The Quorn" by Prof. Chaddock recently (thanks again
Martin) and read all my way through it. Very promissing, very flexible!
But I didn't find anything about it's capacity. Looking at the collets

I just contacted Revell and we talked about plans to re-introduce their  
large scale clippers again along with current frigates being geared up for

Recently, I have been visiting my parents. My Deep Stash is located in their
attic, as are a number of models which I built over twenty years ago. They
were all packed carefully away and stored when I was posted out to Germany
in 1985 (I used to be in the RAF). That was the last ...

I bought a piper cub with the intention of making it into a L-19 bird
dog.  I want to do it in an Air Force Gray scheme with maybe a shark
mouth on the front.  Does anyone know where I can get some photos of
the recon plane with this kind of scheme?  Thank a lot.

Does anyone know where I can get a design for (or buy) a two-roller file
rest suitable for a ML7, to create the occasional square on a shaft?
Any information will be warmly welcomed.

I know I'm a bit of a luddite but I tend to view this forum via
Google (I know, I know don't shout). One of the annoying things is
that it always opens topics on the first post and I have to click

I was hell on wheels with 1/72 Century series fighters a long while
ago. :)
But I read the books, surf the net and am amazed by y'alls knowledge

I'm thinking about getting a lathe for making small components to
support other hobbies. I have the Warco catalogue to hand and my head
is spinning ... a couple of questions -
 Should I go for variable speed or fixed speed (e.g. WM-210 v the 918)

I've been doing a lot of screw-cutting recently and have just picked u
a copy of Martin Cleeve's book 'screw-cutting in the lathe'. H
describes a system for repeat pickup of threads using a single toothe
dog clutch which I would be really interested in trying. As well a

        I am getting back into my beloved RC airplanes after having
moved from out of state.  Could anyone please give me info on flying
sites/clubs in the Atlanta area; for that matter, any resources. I am

On either side of the P-40 and P-47 fuselage, aft of the rear cockpit
bulkhead, there are windows. They are so placed that the pilot would have a
very difficult, if not impossible, time looking out through them. What could
they possibly be for? Please enlighten me. TIA Pete
