    More cowl fitting. A couple of screws to hold the lower half in place. I'll move the cowl a little more forward.

    There are 2 primary boring bar holder designs that l liked (read minimal metal skills). I chose this one, at least temporarily. Drilled, tapped and ready to go.

    What did you make with your lathe/mill today?

    Anyway, to make a correct size opening for the die I found out I will need a boring bar. Well, that needs a holder so here I go. I'll start with a 1" square piece of steel. Square means 4 jaw chuck and at 8" its heavy. I protect the ways with lumber just in case of an ooopsie...

    What did you make with your lathe/mill today?

    Not wanting to blow up Steve's lathe thread so started my own. I want to make a die holder for a die that seems to be a size that I have no holder for. I've been using my mini mill to hold the little 2-56 die.

    Still on this arf. Added some old school servos but bought a new school receiver. Futaba compatible, at $20 it will at least get this plane ready to fly.
