Hi Poinz!Thanks for the links - cool looking sites! I can tell I'll be lurking there doing some real research.....
>>>...You think I should call myself 'Tinker' over there?...<<<
Tinker is a good name; also a fun character. Just curious, have they already got a "Lovejoy" over there? OT, I wish A&E would bring that one back - darn' little that's watchable on the telly these days.....
Thanks again and all the best,
Morse
Follow Ups:
Having come from musical instrument making and cabinet making (and wooden aeroplane making and sailboat making), I would really like to make a console or large table radio; possibly hardwired to a single station for simplicity/purity (we have no jazz station and exactly one classical station in my section of the bushes). My one-lung (well, two-lung) little amp circuit lends itself to this purpose, so the sticking point is radjo reception. I'll see you over there, probably.Lovejoy gets way more whoopee, even unintentionally, than I do; and in my encroaching fartitude Tink is a sympathetic character. The good doctor's description of him shaking the dust off the ancient pub's rafters with his coughing fit is also one of the fine moments of pop fiction description.
Presbyterially yours,
Poinz
Hi Poinz;We're definitely on the same page here. I'd love to scratchbuild a cathedral radio using nothing but valve technology, but for now I want to ease into it (also I want a tuner that's got more class than just hooking in a pocket radio!).
Oho, model aeroplane making! I spent most of my youth building (and crashing) the balsa wood ones; mostly kits but towards the end of those years I did design a handful from scratch. One of these days I'd like to get back into it, but for now I've no where to keep things that are large and delicate..... So, what was your preference in model aeroplanes? Large RC gliders, historical models, or something else?
All the best,
Morse
I'd love to tell you I hadn't thought of that. Lust, actually.Don't worry; with Bob's help, we'll figure it out.
Ta, mate,

Gentle Lady. Embed 30g in the nosecone (I used a 450gr muzzle-loader bullet), use all spruce leading edges and sheet all the way out (1/16" to the joint, 1/32" out to the tip), reinforce the fuselage everywhere you handle it for a forceful hand launch. Reduce dihedral to 1" (25mm), reduce cathedral to 3" (75mm commie), increase chord of rudder 1/2" (12mm), balance as specified. This thing will fly on a breath of God, and will turn with absolute coordination.Poor old Carl; went in for a bypass, and got a transfusion full of HIV. Most conservative and unlucky guy that ever trusted the system. Post me privately for aerodynamic details.

You've got mail (nt).
