I’ll take a look at that Conway, but it’s buried deep in the commercial code that runs the forums. I know it’s possible, but finding out where in the code it is could take some time.Warren

Very nice, and I can’t wait to see the pics.Mine won’t get paint by Oktoberfest, but it will be fully structurally finished. All that remains is the tip to tip on the fins, and it will be complete (well, the…   Read more»

Well, thanks to an idiotic mistake (how could I have been so stupid), my Deuce project will be a tight squeeze to finish in time for Oktoberfest. It should still work out, but only if EVERYTHING else works as planned…   Read more»
