I've been busy
With my SVX off the road, I have been real busy. I got the espresso PC I wanted for the SVX so that I can get a full PC running. I have used mediaengine and myhtpc (mediaengine.org) and (myhtpc.net) to get a full entertainment system for the computer for the car. I am doing some add-ons for the unit. Also, I have been making RC planes. A Cessna Skyhawk (36" wingspan) is 90% done and my spad is fully built and will be going up for a test flight tomorrow. Who says plastic pieces can't fly eh?
Anyways, I've attached the photo to let you know what I have been up to and that I am still around. Did I miss anything much? L SPAD Photo

At last! A functional wing!
Nice work, Lwin. Ron (CEO Ripimoff Industries, a fly-by-night company).

You didn't put your SVX engine in that did you. Looks like fun. Good work.

2mm Coroplast 3'x3' -- free someone was tossing out. Otherwise should be about 10 bucks at most speed 370 electric motor with gears and prop - $18 Radio -- $90 (include the reciever, transmitter, servos) Glue - $2 (use the hot glue) misc cost -- 10 bucks. not bad for something like that. I'll post the pic of the balsa model (cessna skyhawk) once I am done. I went with the spad model becuase I can crash it as much and they are cheap to fix and can resist drops from about 50 feet without any major repairs. L

I started one...it was all corrogated plastic contruction, supposed to be really durable. Then I lost interest and built my Tamiya 4WD Rally Celica GTS.

Is that thing really air worthy Lwin? I take it the Cessna is more of a looker?
Hay Rob are you talkin like 1991 with that Celica? They don't still make that car do they? I started of with a GrassHopper. That was a cool RC. Not.

When I saw "I've been busy" from Lwin I got scared and didn't know what to expect.
I almost tried an RC plane before. I just don't think I could watch all my effort and money hit the ground like that. Crrrrrrrrrunch! Randy ii |

Good looking car Rob.
I used to have one of the original BRATs but my freinds sister steped on the plastic body and destroyed it, i did get a lexan replacement for it but I can't even remember what happend to it, along with like ten other RC cars I used to have. I do still have an original Optima but it needs a new spur gear and no one has parts for the ancient thing. My grandfather used to build planes that looked like the real thing, he usually built old biyplanes with tiny turnbuckles and working controls inside. He has a bunch of pictures of them that you would think were real planes, they were really cool.

Yeah I've done a couple of cars before as well. I have a monster truck and a ford focus 4WD 1:10 ratio(190mm) on my table. I have a wireless colour video cam on the focus (with BWM body) and you should see some of the shots i get with that cam.
The SPAD flew a little today. It's a little on the heavy side so I had a hard time keeping it afoat in the air. The cessna will be more of a looker but I intend to fly her as well. What's the point of building the car/plane if you can't really fly it right? For now, I am thinking of just going over to the store and picking up the cessna cardinal off the shelf and flying it tomorrow. They have the foam kit for 40 bucks and it has a 40" wingspan and came complete minus the radio so it's not too bad. I'll keep you all posted.

I spent a little time during lunch yesterday looking at the SPAD sites. It's probably a good thing I'm working 80+ hours a week this month, or I'd be building one. That's all I need - another friggin' hobby.
