What's on your bench today?

Yup, faster engine = higher output = higher voltage, which will trip the damn thing every time

ok. will be getting those revs down then. see what happens after that.

Cheers mate. It's only one that was laying around at St L's. I thought I would see if I could sort it out as a spare for Ian to practise on. Btw, shame you couldn't make it yesterday. I think you might grow to like the 'drome.

 

If it's a regular thing I might be able to spare a bit of time, sounds fascinating mate.

They are happy for you to bring your metal detector and could do with picking your brains about an Allen Scythe that will only turn one way.

Apologies for jumping in, but I think I might know the answer on the Allen Scythe, what with Geoff's Dad's one now ensuring me an old age of lower back pain. Have you looked on the wheels - there is a pawl which can be flipped to allow it to turn one way, the other way or neither way (except by sheer brute force). If it helps I can take photos of what I'm on about.

I am familiar with this pawl, so I can show you if you like.

 

I like the idea of a metal detector over there mate, could provide them with some interesting stuff for the displays.

Sorry to stay off topic, Spud. Geoff, when you drop the chip off, mention the Scythe then. I think one of the guys who did the work on it is also called Geoff.

He got it off Geoff.

I had to insist he signed a waiver so there were no come backs from personal injury or back problems in the future, these things were designed for small people.
