Many rescue/adoption organisations have great difficulty finding new 'owners' for senior dogs. Could fit your circumstances and be a two-way benefit.

A query please Neil, nice pics by the way.

Have googled without success to identify a fuzzy star cluster which appeared low on eastern horizon some months ago and has gradually elevated until now it is just passed the overhead heading westwards.
Thanks.

That's OK Ketan, I won't tell anybody else. Thanks for the correction, even better support.

Mark, for the benefit of other Sieg SC3 users, what was the resolution ?

And to follow on with manuals, as mentioned above, the WM18 mill and the Grizzly G0704 are twins and the Warco GH1230/1236 and the Chester Crusader are twins of the PrecisionMatthews PM1236.
Check out https://www.precisionmatthews.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/PM-1236-v4-1-2017-indd.pdf for a well written. comprehensive manual in plain English.
Thanks duly acknowledged to both Grizzly and PM..

Hi Toneless, M-Machine, mentioned above, posted to me in France, no problems.

Don't know for sure but think that the aircraft is still travelling forward at a sufficient speed to 'overtake' any FOD thrown up by the reverse thrust, which usually reduces as the aircraft reduces speed.
Is it kept cleaner of random debris ? usually-yes- and subject to regular inspections whereas the parking bays can be grubby/dusty places where people work, not to mention loose baggage containers which could be blown around with reverse thrust

Many moons ago, some fora were a bit squiffy about EBAY and AMAZON and forbade their mention.
People then came up with inventive ways to avoid the direct mention and some folks have continued long past the necessity to do so.

Such manoeuvering procedures mostly banned these days for both rear and wing mounted engines, experience found that engines were being damaged by FOD thrown up by reverser efflux was being ingested into the engine air intakes - cheaper to call for a tug.

Good that you are now sorted Speedy.
When I checked Norm's link for ba-bolts there is an 'airmail shipping' link at top of page, 2x6BA-1/2" steel bolts @0.55 ea = 1.10, airmail shipping 2.00, handling 2.50 = £5.60 total
Kind of expensive for 2bolts but if it gets you out of a hole, well OK then.
Like you, living in France ME supplies get expensive.

Sent an email to ARC today to thank for good service. Placed order late Friday evening after close of business, Packed and despatched via DHL Monday mid-afternoon and received today (Wed) before lunch in SW France. Good going by any measure.

I seem to recall having worked with some of those guys, didn't have a good opinion of them....
DaveD

Wearing 7-league boots would be considered to be cheating.
