    Thanks TJ. I can post from my phone but I hate using the phone for stuff like this.

    I have run into a problem in the last couple of months. It appears that I can't post, answer a post, or send a PM. 
    The dialog box appears but doesn't expand to place text in. I am using the latest version of FireFox when this happens. I am using MS edge right now so I can communicate. Is there a setting somewhere I need to change? THANKS

    Hi Jim. I switched to MS edge instead of my usual FireFox. Now I can answer posts. I couldn't get anything to type before. 
    IF you are mailing them out. Can you mail the traces directly with copying? THAT way we KNOW there is no size distortion. 
    I'll try again to send you a PM.
    THANKS

    I never thought of using stretch wrap to isolate a mold. Jim I like your idea of using shrink wrap too. I wonder if box tape will work??? Just thinking out loud.....

    It looks a lot more like a tool rather than a part.Kinda looks like it holds something open by the arrangement of the pivot...

    If you're getting Culver prop, check the lead time. Last I knew, Alena (sp) was VERY busy and wait times were well over 6 months.

    Yep. it seems mostly there. The spars need to be replaced for sure. The engine won't turn (big Surprise LOL). I gots lots to do now (as though I didn't before) I need to get off my lazy A and start getting stuff done.

    Well, I have a self control problem. This thing is a few miles from my house and the price just got reduced.

    Percepter N3 Pup
    Does anyone know anything about this plane? There is one here locally (well a "kit" maybe) It comes with an engine.
    Major question: does it have folding wings like the Avid?
    Thanks in advance.
    Edit: I'm thinking of trading in the Fisher because of the folding wing thing....

  17. Avidventurous added a post in a topic Avid flyer on Facebook marketplace Oklahoma.   

    OK, I have to admit... The reason I saw it was I got my Model C at a GOOD price because all the hangers were broken off the right wing. So when I hear of a good price on an avid/early fox, that's one of the first things I look for. I need to get started on fixing my plane.

    I check probably once a day. I don't say anything because Mom told me if I don't have anything good to say, don't say anything. LOL J/K

    Jim this is happening web wide. We had a very good horse riding forum that tended to be local to Phoenix area. It just withered away and died. IMHO, this trend sucks

    IF it is a short duration voltage spike, you might be able to suppress it some with a low impedance capacitor like a Mylar or something similar. 4.7 µF 50 or 63 volt might work. Put it as close the DC input on the radio as you can. Justathought
