Apple anyone?
« on: April 06, 2012, 07:57:55 PM »
Just got in from flying and wanted a little snack.

Don't tell me a APC is not sharp. I peeled can cut up a apple in short order.

Wonder if the wife would let me run the prop thru the dish washer.  Nah better just was it by hand. mw~

   You are a true modeler!  y1 One that can improvise when necessary. Like, if you are working in the garage and stop to make a sandwich. Put the bologna on the bread and if there isn't a knife handy to spread the mustard on it, just use your finger, or in your case, your trusty APC 11-4.  220,221 whatever works best.

You could have cut it a lot faster if you had the prop on an engine.! LL~

Seems to me John Leidle once told me he shortened a carbon fiber pipe with an APC prop.  Maybe he'll chime in to confirm or deny.  They are sharp, for sure!

Yeah, but can you bolt a knife on your engine and fly the plane?

One of the greatest things about modelers,..... we're always ready to "improvise".
