Guys I just want to throw this offer out there for everyone on the forum. I have some free time during certain parts of the year. Mostly winter and 3 months of summer.

I have a lathe and manual Milling machine ( NO CNC crazy complicated stuff) at my disposial. If there is anything that someone needs fixed or some spare part that needs to be made I am up for giving it a shot. Only cost to you would be the material for the part and shipping . Of course a donation to the slush fund will never be turned down.

If I can help just give me a shout Pm or email.

Another great example of how great the RC modeling community is! I'm sure there are a few guys that are looking for something to be made but never had the resources or contacts.

Kudos to you, Dennis!

I'm across the province from Nitris, I also have a small lathe, no milling machine, but plasma cutter a mig welders. LOL Not much need for welding on an RC Plane, at least that I've seen yet!

I agree, this place is quite unique in how people help each other out!

[nitris223]

Just so everyone knows . I will only be able to do these projects when time permits. I have about a dozen other hobbies also that get some attention and then there is always the projects for the wife.

People ask sometimes what I do for a living and I usually respond it's easier to ask what I don't do for a living. I dabble in way to many things, but then again I have learned alot along the way which in turn saves me some money.

What tree , Need to be quick with the welder so you son't melt the Foam or catch the wood on fire. I have been looking into one of those cold flameless welders for the RC side of things. LoL

On the west side here we call it "Glue"!

Last thing I just tackled was putting a set of All season tracks on a Mini Japanes Truck.. They showed up in the back of the truck, some metal brackets and no instructions. The kit came from Quebec and boy was it tough to try and figure this kit out when the company doesn't have anyone who speaks good english. Me and the guy in Quebec had some good laughs on the phone and finally figured it out . In the end it was sure a blast to see what one of those trucks could go through with tracks. I could make Jack A$$ part 4 with this truck. Of course right away I was already looking at fitting a turbo on the engine for some more jam. It can be done just to get guys to do it is another story. The same motor is used in Arctic Cat sleds a few years back.

I can just see it. Jack A$$ "4" filmed and produced in Yorkton SK! At least you wouldn't have to worry about signal lights on the truck, those are optional in Yorkton (or anywhere else in SK for that matter), aren't they?

[nitris223]

I think signal lights are a option at the dealer aren't they. I am pretty sure I seen a 2010 Chevy use a signal light just the other day.. Caused a 9 car pile up. Nobody new what was going on.

They held auditions here for Canada's worst driver, I figure they could do at least 10 seasons here, Easy. Just as I heard it on the radio I was at Mark's Works Warehouse and watched a guy drive right into one of those big yellow concrete pillars for the light pole. Then he tried to back up and drive away. All I could do was laugh and say there is the first contestant.

If you can drive here you can drive anywhere. Stop on green, go on red, swing wide left to turn right into your driveway. I swear they all drive a semi or something in their past life.

Then just last summer the city got stupid and put bike lanes in with traffic and called them shared bike/vehicle lanes. I take the sidewalk or the front lawns on my bike and if people don't like that so be it. I would feel safer driving a bike in New York.
