I just started using a fresh batch of resin/hardener from Aeropoxy (shipped by AS&S last week). I had a single white light off to the side. I decided to uncover the part 30 hours after the lay up. When I pulled the peel ply off quickly, the line where it separated glowed bright purple for about...

HARBOR FREIGHT QUALITY by [email protected]
Someone wrote: 'YOUR OUT OF YOUR F**KING MIND' ...with regard to suggesting people buy ANYTHING from Harbor Freight. I disagree. I've come to see HF products as a kind of semi-finished kit, something you have to take apart, clean up, align and re-assemble before you can use it. See those...

Would you install lights? by Lou
I'm getting close to covering my wings. I don't currently fly at night and could even say that I have no intention on flying at night. However I had no intention on getting married either. Would anyone install lights anyway or just limit yourself to flying in the daylight. Lou

(OT) lathes & mills : vocabulary questions by jan olieslagers[_2_]
