Oh, I certainly didn't miss the trip to the bindery. I found it especially interesting since my wife and I are regular clients of one near us. What I missed is the connection to "a model 17-B Beacon Ray with a proper conical thingy base". Cheers,

Um, did I miss an episode? I'm still standing by . . . .

Wow. I finally finished reading all the posts in this thread. Well, at least all the ones so far. I have a hunch it's far from over. In the words of Churchill, "Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning". Thomas, I have...

Given its size, I'd call it an aircraft carrier! :lol_hitti

Thomas It's been about six months since you wrote the above. By now I assume the head wound has healed. Did it leave a scar? :)

It's a great job - I salute your talent and desire to preserve quality equipment. I had ordered the parts to overhaul my old Walker jack before I discovered this thread. I've owned it since new, so the overhaul will clean and preserve the original paint. It had failed a while back, before...

Uh, it's actually SUKOSHI, although gaijin like us pronounce it like it was SKOSHI and often truncate it to SKOSH. Almost everyone I know who uses it frequently learned the word as I did - living on a US military installation in Japan. (yeah, I know I'm replying to an old post. I'm still...

Uh, the BUFF might not squeeze in the barn. Plus, it would be harder to convince Chris that the 10,000 foot slab of concrete was a lawn ornament. I was thinking more like a Mooney 201 to commute to work and some other toy for fun. Of course, I'm a humble private pilot with limited...

Thomas I've been thinking (which my wife will tell you is often not a good thing). Now that the lawn design is firming up as about 60 x 3000 feet, and you have this gigantic barn with a ton of extra space, have you thought about using part of it as a hanger? Back in the 70s one of my...

Long ago, in a galaxy far away (just before the meteor killed the diinosaurs) I had a Lotus 18 Formula Jr. / SCCA Formula C. Being British, it was steer with your right and shift with your left. Mike

Yeah, back in the "old" days they had real industrial designers like Ray Loewy who not only made things functional, but also made them beautiful to look at: http://www.raymondloewy.org/gallery.html (yeah, I know I'm replying to a year old message. I'm still catching up.)

Hi Chris. I've been married 43 years - don't need an emoticon for that tone of voice. :)

Hi Thomas. I've been working my way through all the pages for the last couple of days. I wasn't going to comment until I was totally caught up, but I can't resist now. You do realize you now have the beginnings of a tank, right? Come on, you can't just scrap the tank parts you already...
