Thanks guys for the replies. I received another reply elsewhere, he also mentioned the dezincification problem. He also said replace the tube, the most logic solution.

Hi guys, Sorry to post this in HMEM forum. But I have no other option left. I've asked in telescope related forums to no avail. I hope some willing soul on this forum can help me explaining what went wrong with this tube. As you can see this tube has a few issues. It suppose to be made in de...

I do run Linux Mint on all our machines at home btw. I had to convince my wife - very difficult task - but now she's even happy to have Linux running. She was fed-up with the constant FORCED win10 updates. On my Mint 'laptop workhorse' runs a Virtual Machine to run W7. I need to run W7 because...

To do this, booting with just 86Mb in RAM, I completely stripped the 'Services' list, killed all 'Startup' files, never ever installed a firewall or virusscanners. and last but not least edited many many registry settings. All my friends were eager to bring their pc to me to have it tuned 'my...

Win 7 is far superior to Win 10 anyway, you say..? very true, and do not forget XP, that was a very good and most of all easy to tune OS..! In those days I managed to tune XP, I had only 86Mb in RAM...! And everything kept working. Those were the days. Starting up took me 14 sec flat, and no, in...

The biggest mistake new Linux users do : choosing a distro way to large and complex for their needs. Ubuntu sound very 'sexy' or whatever you want to call it.. But it absolutely is the wrong distro for beginners. Not all is installed like in Linux Mint. Not only Ubuntu, there are some more...

Indeed, there are lots of distro's to choose from. Years ago I started using Linux Mint. There are 4 different to choose from, I picked Mint Xfce. It is the lightest version of the Mint family. It has the look and the 'feel' of WinXP. Love it..! And as I said before it has all 'on board'...

yep..!

I'm using Linux Mint. Never had any problems with it. Very easy to install, and most of all all is 'on board'. All software you ever need is accessible at a glance. Maybe it has been mentioned in this thread already, did not read it all. So sorry if it has.

I was waiting to see if there were more candidates, apparently only three members in this build. I'd hoped for a few more to join this build..

Don't know yet, I'm waiting for the candidates to reply a last time.(just to be sure) Hey guys, could it be that a few of you want to build this helicopter on our own and not in a teambuild..? Please let me know. Thanks.

Pity doc1955..😞. really ..!

(Possible) participants : If you do partisipate I remove your question mark. If not I remove your name from the list. If you're not on the list, pleas do forgive me, that was because it was not very clear., Just let me know. Chriske - OK Kai - OK Chiptosser? Delalio? Doc1955? Tomcat?

Hey guys, How do we proceed..? Never done this before(teambuild) so I post a copy of the rules about 'Teambuilds'. 1. A team is selected (well volunteered ;D) and a captain voted on Candidates...?, I volonteer, but if someone wants the 'job' is ok for me. 2. The team votes on an engine to...

Yessssssss..!!! Found the second box.:D I was wrong about the glass, it's not Pyrex but Duran...even better..!

Aren't we going to build this as a teambuild...? I was in fact waiting somewhat longer to see if there were some others to join the 'party'..

Doc 1955, Just looked were I've put these tubes. Already found the smallest OD-16mm pyrex tubes. I have more then I need. So I can send you a set. Problem is I can't find the second box containing the larger tubes :mad: but I'll keep looking... I'll keep you informed.

Found the pictures..! Not yet finished here. Here it was, but still needed to clean up all parts and polish.

Interesting and great idea Brian..! I don't think this idea will work for this project. There's simply not enough power. The blades should run very fast to create enough lift. In this case, if all goes well 1000 rpm will be the about the max it will go. Maybe, just maybe, redesigning this heli...
