I just sold a Prop-Pitch motor to Kurt Andress, K7NV, while at Visalia. Kurt rebuilds these motors, converts them to rotors and uses a modified M2 control box. I've seen his work and he comes HIGHLY
Alfa Spid was at Visalia and were speaking very highly of their clamp. Can you post some pictures of your updated Orion clamp on your website Steve? I'd love to see it! Also, how much $$$? Dino - K6R

Roger asked; Hey Roger, I'm not a professional concrete guy, but I play one on TV, AND slept at a Holiday Inn Express last night! :-) To answer you question, "Add more water!" I sold concrete tools f
Sure Kelly, That would be easy. To give you some ideas, head down to your local US Rentals and look at a "light tower". I used to build these as well as other traffic control trailers. Our club owns
I'm certainly not going to start a little banter war here, but let me point out a few things... First, while some of the following applies to Jim's comments, not everything in this post is directed s
