: I realize you probably won't answer to this Grim but what is the principle piece? Are we to also assume that you are stating that your idea WILL work, everything is tested, and you just need this one simple part to make it so?
: David,
: Make it so Captain (hee hee).
Hi David
The answer to your question can be found in Scott's sidebar called "New Text Translation". As I wrote before, I am claiming and stating nothing more than material I need to build the large version of the "slop model" is unavailable at "Harry Homeowner" stores,
and it needs to be fabricated. When I get this thing finished, it will be tested and the results given. I do NOT state that this is the answer to anything, just that I have found something that intrigues me and I intend to make a good large model of it to see
what it does when built in a machine shop, and if it verifies the "slop model". Machining is my second trade and have a friend who owns a shop, and he is kind enough to let me use the various machines for free, but the going has been slow because if he needs
the machine I'm on for a paying job, my setup gets torn down to get out of his way, just common courtesy. Could have made it out of high-dollar material he had on hand, but I do not take advantage of friendships. Would rather find it myself.
I will pick up my material tomorrow and start again over the weekend or first of next week. When its done, then I will let you know.
