    Steel Soldiers MV of the YEAR - 2014 VOTE HERE!

    It took me a full 24 hours to make a decision. There isn't a hog in the bunch, so it wasn't easy, I had to think of all kinds of tie-breakers. Cheers

    Hmmm..do you like low flying aircraft?....then here ya go!

    That has always been one of my favourites! The Vulcan video above reminded me of watching the real things flying around in my youth. Sometimes age has its advantages, we got to see a lot of cool stuff over the years. :) Cheers

    Show your 5 tons in the snow.

    Now that is just plain funny! True, but funny. :) Cheers

    Show your 5 tons in the snow.

    This will not impress you Northern types, but for central Texas, this was HUGE snow! In 2010, it hasn't snowed here since. My M813 and neighbour's M820. Cheers

    V100 Carb / Manifold Combo

    Waiting for B3-3T and JimK to weigh in. I know Jim is having similar issues with his. B3 is very experienced with working on these, and has a good Edelbrock carb/manifold combination he has used successfully, that fits under the radiator. If we don't hear from them pretty quick, I'll dig in...

    Yes, a perfect analogy! Cheers

    Window sticker

    Remember that contract prices often include development costs, parts support, training, etc. The included number of vehicles are often only part of the total, but most folks divide the cost of that particular contract by the number of vehicles and come up with a grossly inaccurate "per unit"...

    Hmmm..do you like low flying aircraft?....then here ya go!

    To go back just a moment, the late model Spitfires/Seafires (Griffon engined) had contra-props to absorb the power. There were a LOT of handling issues with the ones fitted with the Griffon/5-blade setup, they were not nice to less experienced pilots (and embarrassed experienced ones on...

    Hearing Protection - An often overlooked safety concern

    I wear foam ear plugs even at the movies! And during anything that makes more than the usual household noise. While they are fairly quiet, I wear ear plugs while driving the M1009's and 931's, because the wind noise of the open windows bugs me. For shooting, mowing, running the grinder...

    Hearing Protection - An often overlooked safety concern

    Crickets? I can hear one, but not the bunch on a summer night. My early life in Marine infantry, then in the Airwing flying CH-53's, robbed me of several hearing frequencies and subjects me to a LOUD chorus of crickets 24 hours a day, whether they are there or not. Silence is just a long ago...

    Heavy Lift Helicopters

    Yes, this pilot had honed his trade in Vietnam, where the flying was...different. Such behaviour was technically frowned upon by the Corps during my post-Vietnam time, but flying with flair was still unofficially encouraged. You could be a technically competent pilot, but if you flew like Mr...

    Need S-280 Shelter 3 color camo pattern layout

    Just took a look at pictures of both, very close. Likely the M109 top will be close enough to adjust slightly to match the S280 sides. Or, just use the M109 pattern for the whole thing! Cheers

    Need S-280 Shelter 3 color camo pattern layout

    I don't have patterns, but I have photos of a painted shelter. You'll have to figure out the top part! :wink: Cheers

    New V-100

    I tried that once. Wasn't a good option really. I mean it worked, but.... ;) No on the avatar, I thought I did, but now I don't. Cheers
