Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

11 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 3Original post

Amazing the time and dedication some people put into their creations. If only we could all have such passion.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I see another long thread coming.......

POST 5Original post

Thanks for the links, I love looking at that kind of stuff. He're a video of a guy running his home-built rotary radial engine. He also built an RC plane for the engine and flew it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A16EW19oR6k The earliest airplane engines like that operated on a total loss oiling system, and used castor oil. The pilot ended up ingesting a fair amount of it from the blowback. I would guess those guys couldn't go flying everyday... had to stay close to the outhouse for a while!!

POST 6Original post

Cool but scary, that guy could lose an arm in a hurry!

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

How about putting that on a micro-lite??

POST 8Original post

I love that Ferrari 312. I found this linked on one of those videos. Cool airplane, and the model radials even sound right. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LP0-9j_7HSo&feature=related

POST 9Original post

Cool video..Well never found this video before.. Good job of sharing this one..Keep sharing.

POST 10Original post

I actually knew one of the guys that built an engine featured in the craftmanshipmuseum link. We built radio controled cars back in the late 60's when there was no such thing in the stores. He ran a hobby shop in Kent, WA for a number of years. We both made 1/8th scale Ford Mk IV GT's from stratch and raced them. I used to be a model maker at the Boeing wind tunnel so making a car from pictures and drawings was right down my alley.

POST 11 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Too cool, Spinnaker! I'm a patternmaker and have made a few models for customers. My oldest daughter is a doc at Madigan Hospital and lives in DuPont and our niece works for Microsoft and lives in Kirkland. What part of Seattle for you? We'll be out in early March for our second granddaughter's first b-day.
