I spent 3 years as the "trim crew" in Minot AFB, North Dakota. We would taxi a F106 down to the end of the runway and adjust the fuel control after an engine rebuild (every 200 hours). We did at around 01:00am and my job was to adjust the fuel control settings while the F106 was at idle and...

If you are ever in my neighborhood, stop by and I'll buy you a beer. I unpluged the throttle from my central DP-5 and plugged it into another one on my layout. And Presto!, I was able to hit the program button AND call up AD4. Before; trying to program AD4 was impossible. I'm like a little...

Curt, yes I WAS on the other forum; but I was sent to the principal and expelled from that forum over the weekend. Get's along well with others was always checked on my report cards. Getting back to my DCC problem. Like I outlined I have connect the "rails out" wires of DB150 directly to a...

Howdy from NE Indiana. Took Joan for a ride this morning (her firt since knee replacement, went downtown to get my bib overalls from alteration. She called us by mistake and they were not done; at least Joan got out for the 20 minute ride. I am fighting a wiring problem that has been haunting...

After taking a 2nd look at how small M.T. Arms Hotel is, I would have to agree. I did think about the possibilites though...BTW, the picture I posted was slightly larger than actual size. It is showing the complete, over $100 kit
