The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

I found a very new 14SG on the bay for $175 (offer accepted) so looking now for how to transfer the data.

Don't sure what the problem is? Looks like you need to unsolder the old and solder on the new? You use solder wick to remove the old solder, just lay the wick on the solder joint and heat the back with an iron and it sucks the old solder right up, might take a second shot with clean wick to remove the solder from one connection.

I’ll let Tony at Radio South fix it. I also found a great deal on an 18SZ so 2 radios are in route.

A quick lookup on YouTube and data transfer was complete in 5 minutes. Well, I just transferred 3 planes worth of data…..

Transmitter still has plastic screen protector so pretty happy with a $175 purchase.

Switched to fishing today for a change of pace. Heavy and pregnant, probably 22”. Maybe 24”? I caught 8 or so in a couple of hours.

The beaver fail made me chuckle.

Ok I have general question to all you technical guys. I have seen this done both ways and I can see an argument for either one. Ok let me try to explain.
For example if you are bolting a muffler to an engine.
1. Do you place the lock washer on the bolt and then install the bolt. OR
2. Do you place the lock washer on the bolt and then a flat washer on the bolt and then install bolt.

Which way is correct and why.

I just use a lock washer but I put Ultra Copper on the threads. Acts like Loctite. Never had one come loose.

Lock washer goes on top of flat washer. .
