I just realized that I've been "reading the mail" every day for a long time and haven't said "Hi" properly ... better late than never perhaps?
I'm in south central British Columbia (Canada) with a pretty well equipped shop that manages to turn out the occasional useful item. Most of the time it simply provides a chance to learn new things about using (keeping?) my head and hands.
Like many of you, it seems I've always been interested in aircraft, motorcycles, electronics - generally, things that work. Still building r/c aircraft models (mostly vintage scale). Current model engineering project is a 1/4 scale Gnome rotary that has just been assembled. (Working on the support equipment required to finish it, i.e., get it running.) This what it looked like a few days back ...
Happy New Year everyone.
Charlie
