One step at a time… repairs and improvements are coming along great… nice to have the shop equipment and mechanical ability to build and work on this gem… I eagerly await every new episode.
I'm am super impressed by all of your knowledge, and know how!!! When you finish with the airplane, are you going back to auto restoration??? Lol, I love cars as much as I do airplanes!!! I'll watch your videos on that, too!!!👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
The person who asked if you were going to send out for CNC machining, seems not to have been paying attention to what you've been saying lately. Things are coming along nicely!
🎉Hey Don, Not sure of your cnc preferences but mine was zero to the top of the work not the table! All my dimensions of cut Climb mill never conventional mill were down - cuts and machine retracted to +.100 when finished heading to home, bolt down heads were another story!
G'day Don, Yay Team ! Lookin' great ! Regarding this business of zapping the Sparklie-Plugs at TDC on the Exhaust Strokes, as well as on Compression..., one wonders if, when the Mixture is "full Rich", there'll be sufficient unburned Fuel-Air in the "Dregs" departing before the Mushroom springs closed ; for the "Redundant Spark" to ignite that final "Puff", for it to duly ignite what's in the Engine-Pipe - which (if it occurrs) might enable something like the "Plennum-Chamber Combustion" which Richard Pearse in New Zealand seems to have been attempting, in the 1940s & '50's - with Sparkplugs fitted & wired to fire into the Exhaust-Manifold of what, today, us on display in the Museum of Travel & Transport, in Aukland (if not Wellington ?). Perhaps, if you can contrive to point the Exhaust Pipes more or less rearwards..., you might scavenge a few Pufftillionths of Jet-Thrust from such "Afterburning" ? At least, it might result in an evovative visual display of fiery Exhaustings, when at high power settings and in low-light...(?). Time will tell... Such is life, Have a good one... Stay safe. ;-p Ciao ! (Lol !)
Wasted spark systems have been around for a long time. All 4 cycle engines on lawn mowers and such have been this way forever. At one time I did read that it can help with burning off any unburnt full in the exhaust.
@Dynodon64 The Sparks would have to do something (?). The ancient "Tightwad" in me worries about all the unnecessary wear & erosion of the Electrodes, from those wasted Sparks - "It's like a Light-Switch, every time you flick it on & off for the fun of doing it, because you're bored - that's one less time the Switch Can work..., before something in it breaks, from fatigue & overuse...!". Hillbilly maintenance - Don't use it unless it's absolutely necessary - in case something wears out, or breaks.... I can still hear my father saying it (!). Such is life, Keep on keepin' on. Stay safe. ;-p Ciao !
I'm always looking for more info, but it's scarce. I've only found one negative forum post so far, but it was and older one from years ago. Rotec has made improvements since then.

Always amazed at your talent! I love that 6061 guy!
That Spinner production is beautiful….
Looks fantastic….
Love it….
Looking great ! Thanks for sharing
Looking good Don, thanks for the update!
*Don, your 'brain work', tech skills, and craftsmanship are amazing!*
Keep watching, I have more coming.
Thanks for the update. Nice to have your own CNC Machine. I didn't Know lol now I do. Looking for more progress videos. Thanks!!
Thank you for the Christmas bonus info : )

My Mustang Gt project was put on hold until I get the Corsair back together.
Looking great!
i hope you had an epic christmas
Don awesome stuff. Why don’t you mount your camera on a head band then both of your hands will be free?
I may give it a try , but I move my head faster and more often than my hands.
Making a propeller cone is interesting. That's all I can comment. Not having all the materials and tools you need when you wanted them is frustrating.

I've used both zero references before, top and bottom. I always feed from .100, rapid move at 2 inches . I always climb cut too.
G'day Don,
Yay Team !
Lookin' great !

Do your research on that ROTEC TBI carb

@@Dynodon64 Good luck with it Don.
I forget if you said it before but did you build that CNC yourself?
Sendcutsend step or dxf file.
