Oh, nobody has heard of the 58 buck specials? My wife knows about those.... Matter of fact, I just spent 58 bucks, the day before yesterday, on a 58 buck special. I still have the bruises to show for it. :p

I did it! Today I bought a small used metal lathe - AUD$500 from a retired old boy + $58 for the live centre for the tailstock. Does anybody know what would be the best way to break the news to the missus when she gets home? I'm trembling! I'll get some pics if she lets me put it on the kitchen table, I'm collecting it at the end of the week.

Sorry Matt, I have be warned about staying away from threads other than those specifically for wives coz we're just not special enough to have input...except to say that this is where Gwyn and I actually get to have a conversation.....I just couldn't resist this one coz Gwyn's always soooo clever at everything that I really wanted him to tell his tale of the chicken killer plane...bless his cotton socks - he was quite upset as he saw it disappear in the distance and uttered the words "I've lost it honey...SOB". These words were words swiftly followed by an almighty crash and the frenzied clucking of many headless chooks!!!!!:pQuote:

I like flying my Jim Leroy Pitts Bulldog in tower view over Meigs field and can land it on the runway. Tip for tower view flying - Shift+z to keep an eye on altitude and direction. Practice accurate circuits and you get the hang of it soon enough. Easier with a Cessna for starters. There you go Matt - the thread's back to R/C!
