Personally... I would go for an axle brake. This may sound goofy, but try contacting your local John Deere dealership and explain what you're doing. The guy at the parts counter or at the service center will get a good laugh and probably help you out. He may even have a junker riding lawnmower that ...

The eye-candy in the first 90 seconds looks so promising that I have to fire up the server and watch it on the big screen!

Yeah, they're all picky about RMA #'s. That's their authorization code for you to send it back and allows them to identify the package when it comes in and what needs to be done once it's received. Call Tigerdirect's customer service line back and tell them (nicely) that you were unaware that you ne...

The only thing is you can't do a complete bomb burst with these planes cause it turns out to be a 4-man hammerhead stall running into the following solo with a surprise look on his goggles. ;) That's not a problem, just do a downward bomb burst like many of the past and current prop teams do. ;) I ...

@ Tailhook - I would just send it back. It's brand new and has a .5 mm scorch mark. Why rig or fix it locally when you can get a warranty replacement for free? @ Joker - just make sure to read your instructions and be careful when rebuilding your system. Pay attention to all the details and perhaps ...

Replace it, even if that one isn't "fried" you don't want to deal with that...

Don't listen to the naysayers, Tubs. Do your own thing and have fun. One day you'll have to grow up and won't be able to get away with it anymore. :wink:

I got a pretty good laugh out of your vid, looks like you were having a good time.

Oddly, I've just reinstalled WinXP on all of my desktop machines and one of them boots to the desktop and the others boot to a login screen. As far as I know there is no setting in the control panel, I checked before I Googled for a solution. None of the info returned by my search suggested simply c...

Booting straight to Desktop in XP

For those of you that have a WinXP machine that you use for a server, it can be pretty annoying when booting WinXP to have to click on a user account to get to the desktop. I use UltraVNC to remotely control my server which is in a different room than the one that I fly in and I want to be able to j...
