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

    We hoped our units would run all year but that was not the case, the units were on a fixed crest dam and there were minimum flow requirements over the top of the dam so we had to reduce load during periods of low flow and of course there were times when the flow was to high and we lost the tail...

    You can spend a lot of money on tooling. Pretty sure my tooling exceeds the cost of equipment.

    Covered the bottom then laid out the white/red line. Since the line runs over the open bays the white Monokote is applied over the open bays and then punctured about every 1/4" to vent trapped air, the top covering is ironed on with high heat. Not sure if I will do the same with the black...

    I was hoping to maiden the Cherokee this weekend but those dreams quickly vanished while programing the servos for 100% stick travel at the desired surface defection.
