Bah. I'll get something temp fabbed if need be. You know I'd never stand in the way of a sale.

Was just given a tip on a 4/4 Condo that is at 50% value and in great shape and I'm being tempted to go for it just to hold for a year or two and flip...actually near your old place. Between that, DGRR, and Vmount I should be quite poor for a month or two!

Gringo:

Tuesday..If we are doing aerocatch, we may want to consider the shop for less distractions from my son since we will be drilling, measuring, cutting etc

If we are doing the fuse block, that requires less concentration and we can do that at the house

OK...shouldn't be too hard.

Plan for the shop.

Need a cutting tool for the hood, drill, some blue tape.

You just need to source the cutting bit - looks kinda like a drill bit, but has funky-long threads. I've got a Rotary tool, drill and zee taype.

Other than that, I'd say use a stepper bit to pop the main-hole (spray something on the hood to keep the bit from splintering the CF, regardless of the bit).

Lol! If other people in the shop weren't rummaging through your boxes for parts they might not go MIA! =)

Speaking of...did you or Ant say you were selling a V-mount or did I misunderstand.

Speaking of the shop...looks like you made a mess again.

I don't have a problem grabbing the AST from the Pill, but there-in remains the question: How would I get it back to the shop with a coolant leak?

We'd talked about the VMount setup being sold, but never heard a resolution on it.

How are you getting it back to the shop with no compression? I've got my AST that I can pull and give to you.

Ant: Re-read this and it wasn't a shot at you. It was meant as there are a ton of people going to the shop now moving around boxes and things and God knows where it went. I apologize if you thought it was directed at you.
