Should we be changing Gromit's tag to Peasy?


I don't understand

Chris - This is a quote from some famous engineer.
"PERFECTION IS THE ENEMY OF PROGRESS"
I understand it was first applied to the chap who invented the wheel,
he was not happy until it was balanced & running true within 50 microns.

I use the 80/20 principle..

80% of what you want to achieve by using 20% of the available resource.

The fist job of the day was to make this:



Then it was a bit of a 'bitty' day getting various bits for the fin and rudder dimensioned and marked out. I've cut the ply for servo mounting plates, all lovingly fitted by hand with the utmost finesse and to a tolerance of a merest sliver of a micron ;) The available depth of the pocket of the aileron servo is quite minimal when you take away the 12mm of the servo, the pic shows the depth of the flap pocket which is a little deeper. Still need to add the blocks to screw the servos on, but that can wait till tomorrow.
