Hi, Where's the ball ? Don't ask me I couldn't tell ya, I've obviously fallen off it. Well it's me again after a month of lounging about and not doing to much more than clearing out and moving my computer room down to the dingy basement, making room for the new nursery for our bean to be. 3 months to go.
Projects have been somewhat put on hold for now as I am down some good workable space.
In the packup and move to the basement I did find an old guitar tube amp that was in bits and pieces so I've decided to rebuilt it. It's all basically there just a very poor ungrounded design from the 70's. So it's time for some more reading on tube amp design theory and see if I can get it going. And it's something that I can work on at the ThinkHaus and leave in my locker.
Other non related news, I just got back from a trip to Toledo, OH for the Weak Signals R/C show and man was it amazing. I saw some great scale stuff, new radios and lots of new production aircraft and helicopters. I picked up a few kits in the swap meet. A peanut scale DH Gypsy Moth and a 42" DH Dragon Rapide. They should both be fun builds.
That's it for now, just a quick check in and hopefully more active useful posts to come soon.
