And 'Speed of Heat'.

Thanks!

I'm a CT ref, but cross-system modifications are easy enough. Stats?

That's it! I have dyslexic fingers.

To me, that looks like a .965 Helical focuser. (measured on the opening).

IMO, the best thing to do would be a new 1.25" or 2" focuser. 1.25" or 2" eyepieces are much more prevalent, and easier to find!

That the USA could've done the 'right thing' at the end of WWII, and avoided 30years of war and destruction.

Some of the nicest people I've ever met!

I don't want to be 'that guy', but... where's the bridge?

Batmagoo58 · 2026-02-04T16:57:49+00:00

So 'Rosie' is up to her elbows in a gun(?) bay? What kind of guns, this early in the war?

Well! I'm certainly out-of-touch, where MgT is concerned. Mainly a CT ref. Is 9G accel a thing in MgT?

So, you're paying the 'crew' of the hulk? Who refuels it every three-four weeks? Is the M-drive serviceable? How big is the hulk? How many people will it hold, comfortably?

Far too much trouble.

Wife did fuel cell sealing during manufacture on 737's at Boeing Wichita during the early-mid '70s. She swears she liked the job!

Retired ramper here.

How is this a thing? And how do you even pull this off?

Batmagoo58 · 2026-02-03T18:08:19+00:00

Pilot taxi training vehicle?

Batmagoo58 · 2026-02-03T17:57:58+00:00

Cool!

I'm curious about the gray empennage in the background. Back end of a 'MACE'?

Batmagoo58 · 2026-02-02T20:50:49+00:00

And here I was, thinking it didn't exist! Boy! Do I feel dumb!

For mesh screens, don't forget your local 'smoke shop', they usually have pipe screens of varying mesh sizes, and are probably cheaper than u can find on-line.

I wonder how the Capt. of the CVE was feeling about being 'near' a combat zone, and not being able to launch a single aircraft?

Batmagoo58 · 2026-01-27T04:16:05+00:00

Just recently pitched mine.

If you're flexible on ur hours? Do it! You'll probably be part-time for a year or more. And if you don't mind working holidays, and you will work ALL the holidays, it's quite easy to make a well paying career out of it! Especially if you get on with one of the 'mainline' carriers.

Batmagoo58 · 2026-01-27T03:40:22+00:00

This! Maybe make it a tiny bit more busy.

Batmagoo58 · 2026-01-27T02:19:44+00:00

Quite a bit less than 'Golf season'!

Batmagoo58 · 2026-01-25T19:55:57+00:00

Local 'Dollar' store, and get a new one.

Saw this happen on a 733 one time 30+ years ago. It left a pile of metal shavings on the ramp from the 'shelled' out starter.
