A little something I might need

He told me he uses a Nicholson mill to do that. At first I didn't get it, but then I realized that's the name of the file he used. His engines are most impressive. I never flew my Streaks with the Fox .36X, I used the next gen Mk series engines and WOW! It folded the wing which needed the spar replaced, once I fixed that, the elevator broke from the control resistance, then it tore the nose off. It was always impressive as it would take off dead rich to the point you would have to keep pinching the bladder supply line to keep it running. I had to be quick to get a needle setting due to the engine sucking down 3.5 oz's of fuel before you could get to the handle. About 3/4 around the circle it would take off like a bullet and the engine tone would just ramp up x10.
