I was planning to make my own Richard, but I wasn't going to use
exotic wood. Plain old Poplar, stained to whatever hue would be fine
with me.

Pick up a chunk of Honduras Mahogany. It'll only run you a few dollars more, it
carves like a dream, and you don't have to stain it. Just apply a few coats of
varnish and you're done. Much easier to work with than poplar or walnut.

The switches are hard to push for a reason: to reduce accidentally pressing
them. I own a B-8 and my pinky finger and thumb just naturally rest on those
switches, the pickle switch isn't likely to be accidentally pressed unless your
thumb slips off the rice hat.

Are you planning to have a two step trigger?

Rose Myrtle joystick grip: $400

Two step trigger: $100

Richard, I have a technical question since I don't drink coffee. I prefer
Pepsiâ„¢.
Which hurts more through the nose coffee or Pepsiâ„¢.

I think Ron puts a notch on his modem each time he makes someone spew.

Speaking of which I have a spoof MasterCard™® ad clip that may make you do
that. If you are interested I could send it to you.

Sounds interesting, but the best I can get on this tin can and string
lash up from SW Bell is about 26 to 28 k.
Large files are painfully sloooooow.
If it's under a meg, and worth the wait, send it on...

As for the technical question...
From an engineering perspective, the differences experienced by the
nasal cavities probably depend on the dynamics of the substances
expelled.

How hot is the coffee?
How much bubble in the Pepsi?
And, of course, how much dynamic pressure in the ejector?

Thanks, Dan. You are a good trooper.

Probly woulda.
I have been a little jumpy of late.
What month is it?
Oh. Yeah, THAT one.

Well, on the other side of the coin...

I'll have a tail boom, gear box and tail rotor for our LOH this
weekend(!!!). Also have 4 (non-demilled) rotor blades.
Still need a mast though (That's a tough item to fake).

And a ton of Micro Mesh.

I can't figure this one out...
Of the three LOH's avaliable, all three had some kind of heavy
mineral deposit on the right side (only!) bubble plastic.
Left side on all three is clear as a bell.

I got it off wet sanding with 1500 grit abrasive paper, so now
it only needs about a year of polishing to clear up the haze.

Ground breaking for the museum is ten days from now.
They can't possibly get the building up in less than two years.
I'll get it done in time...
