" preferred mode of commutation"
Trev, Switch off the dreaded Auto correction function! If you make a typing blooper the auto correction comes up with such nonsense as this. You apparently meant commuting and not 'switching'.๐ I switch OFF the auto correction on my PC but leave the 'Spell check' ON. If I type nonsense it then simply underlines it in red and when clicked on it offers more logical alternatives from it's known dictionary. But does not insert words of it's own choice automatically. For me it's enough to see that I (or the keyboard๐) made a 'mistook', rather than post letter spaghetti! Occasionally I find that I have to educate the stored dictionary๐ Carry on posting shipmate๐ Cheers, Doug ๐ ๐ Like

Thanks Ron
A butt joint is very weak and fiber cloth will reinforce the seam and be on the inside of the build out of sight. Rick ๐ Like

You are right, a butt joint is not as good as other ones. using a reinforcement as you have is wise.

๐ฌ Re: Stand
21 days ago by roycv (

Hi I like to make my boat stands work for a living. I fit a tray underneath, very useful when down by the water. I also fit stick on plastic feet so that the stand cannot scratch tables etc.
Lately I have extended the boat stands lower so that the transmitter had a place to sit. I have been using old 'mouse mat', cut to size, to line crutch part. It is good to avoid hard points that over time can cause pressure marks in the paint finish. When using wood dowel for the stand it can be made a little neater where it exits at the support ends by fitting brass screws with cup washers. They look neat but also they expand the end of the dowel a little and effectively clamp the dowel in place, you will not need glue. This does make it easier for some adjustments. The stand is a 3D thing and has to be flat and not wobble but also to hild the hull squarely in position. regards Roy ๐ Like

Hi Rick,
As you found for the Commuter, the stand specified for the Mt Washington wasn't even close, I had to make my own. Trev ๐ Like
