Surface Finish Issues On 12x36 (long Post) + Kb Electronics Vfd Install

I attempted to shoot a video late this morning. When I attempted to upload it, it was rejected due to file type problems??? I attempted to use the Windows Store to download a different movie software program. I ended up nearly killing my computer--story is long, & several unpure thoughts and words followed. Anyway, I finally got it straightened out--still no video editing software--I'll work on that later.

Matt, I would never ask you to come by; however, if you desire to stop in, I would be absolutely thrilled to meet you and learn from you.
My actual location is just outside of Milford, De. which is approximately 15 miles south of Dover. Are you on the way to Ocean City?

If you are in this area, you are very welcome to come by--send me an email (jmakpilot@gmail.com) or PM me for a real address.

Very off topic, but fill us in on the Alaska Pilot stuff!
 
WOW!! I would never even consider asking you to come by. However, I would not be opposed to a visit, either.

I attempted to shoot a video late this morning (Monday) & it was rejected because of a file type error???? I attempted to download some software from the Windows store & somehow I almost killed my computer. I got back up & running late in the afternoon. I will attempt the video again, tomorrow. Really, the finish is not Gross, it is just not as good as I think it should be.

Tomorrow morning, I am going to Electric Motor Wholesale in Clayton, De. t pick up my new Leeson 3 Phase motor for the 12x36. This has been on the table for some time, and I finally just decided to do it. The finish problems are really not related to my decision. This company has the best prices I have seen for the motor that Ray C. said was a good replacement. I already have purchased a VFD, and most likely will be contacting MKSJ to pick his brain. Man, this almost like an early Christmas.

OOPPS! Looks like in the excitement I made a double post. Sorry 'bout that.

What do you want to know about flying in Alaska? I did 3 years in the Air Force up in Anchorage (1979-1982). I did one year flying a civilian stretched C-130, & 25 years flying light twins (Recips, Turboprops, & Jets) for a charter company all over the state, all out of Anchorage. I did not do floats or off-airport, although some of the places we went into (by Lower 48 standards) would qualify.

Well, I tried to upload 2 different videos. One was a wmv & the other an avi. Both were refused by the forum. Maybe tomorrow.

Before anyone gets upset, I will not continue this type of thread here, I promise (unless there are LOTS of requests).
 
OK, I found my archive copy of video editing/conversion software. Here is, I promise, the only one of these "Way Off Topic" posts I'll make. VLC Player plays it just fine.

This really is pilot porn.

I was the instructor in the right seat during this one. Been there many times.

This is at a USAF remote radar site in central Alaska. The runway is 12% uphill at upper half (yes, twelve percent). For those of you who know about flying, check the Vertical Speed Indicator and compare it to the airspeed indicator near the end after landing. It shows 500 feet rate of climb at 5o knots--that is not your everyday normal airport. This was in a Cessna 441 twin engine turboprop (ten seats)--cruise speed at 28,000 ft = 300 knots.

That is all, really.

Do you go with the VCGT insert for crowning because the geometry of the cut makes it easier to get in there with that insert?

Yes, I still ground a more bottom relief so I can go I can deeper on recessed target crown
