    John, that machine needs a gnarly paint-job, or some eyeball-searing LEDs, or a mind-boggling LCD readout display, or all of the above! ;)
    That's a great looking machine! :cool:

    Thanks Mark, I could not have done this without yours and Trish's help!!! Besides being a Friend, you guys are second to non in customer service!!! I am proud to be a Phlathead member :). I have been cutting alot of cool little designs I put together and am working on my Ghost plane as we speak. I did cut the superslo28 in 9mm foam and it worked perfect ( Thanks Crash )!!! Remember guys that epp has alot of pockets so if you are cutting on smaller sheets(12" x36") USE THE GUIDES :) It will keep the piece from skewing.
    What a fun machine!! Cant wait to see all the others up and running!!

    Hello Guyz... Just wanted you to know I found a cool inline switch that works great for your Rotozip tool so you can turn it in on from outside the cabinet!!! Hope this helps, it works great!!

    John, That switch works great. I also use one of them on the power board cord. It's a quick way to shut it off before you put your hands in the PP. :mrgreen:


    Cheers,

    Hey xtreme. That switch was a nice find and I can not tell you how great it is to see your pic of the foam you cut on your Phlatprinter.

    By the way, thank you for purchasing Mach through phlatboyz.com. We really appreciate it.

    Well, it looks like you are well on your way and we couldn't be happier. Now, let's see you put those designs that you have been carrying around in your head into Sketchup! We can't wait to see them.

    Mark and Trish

    John,

    Your ghost plane looks awesome! I have heard you and Mark talk about it but this is the first I am seeing it. It really looks cool and it looks like it's going to be a blast to fly. Looking forward to the kits.

    Mark meant to say two of these :D

    Thanks Mark and Trish, I really appreciate the kind words.!! I am having alot of fun with my Phlatty and learning Sketchup, I have to send you guys a ghost so you can try it out. I hope to maiden mine soon and make sure all is well with the design. I have been flying my first version for years with great results and expect this one to fly just as well but I did scale it down a little so its time for the trial run :) I will talk to you soon!!! :D

    Take care
    John

    Hey John. Have you had a chance to test fly the ghost? How did you make out? It looks really cool. We wish you the best of luck :) Can't wait to get our hands on it.

    LOL :) Mark, I wish I could set some time aside for the paint, I think I am going to do graphics on it !!! I have been grueling over a few designs I must have cnc style ha ha ha!!
    I am going to need another one on one my Friend!! I am finally getting sketchup pretty good but have some issues with figuring out how the heck you do some of the things you do ;)

    If you get a chance this week I would be grateful for another lesson on how to assemble the pieces of a plane once it has been designed, that and a couple quick ones!!!

    Thanks for checking up on me and yes, Im still alive down here in the basement, My Wife brings me a sandwich from time to time :)

    That would not be a problem at all, it's always good to talk with you. When you get some free time just call
    Talk to you then
