The exhaust It's shiny now. I'm sure that will change. The silicone pipe runninf from it is a fuel tank pressurisation aid. There's no fuel pump - a certain amount of exhaust gas is used to push the fuel into the carb of the engine. Quite neat, really. - P0000049

The swash plate This little device is freaky. In a nutshell, the pitch of the blades varies through their rotation, according to the motions of the aileron/elevator servos (called cyclic on a helicopter) and the collective pitch. It's all a bit mad and I onyl slightly understand it so far. - IMG 4645

I fired it up... So, I took it outside, just to fire up the engine. Nobody else around to take pictures, so this is after the event. They definately make good lawn mowers - notice all the grass and grass stains. I'm so far away from flying this thing (still practising on the simulator) but I thought it would be good to give the engine and mechanics some exercise before it does fly. These things are not quiet! - IMG 0646

The Table Again 2002-02-18 Wandering through Home Depot looking for "Mud coloured paint" we stumbled across a returned tin of Ralph Lauren paint that has a stone-like texture and was coloured as in the picture. Whilst not perfectly level, the surface is good enough to run the two locos pictured. - IMG 5589 med
