I'm glad y'all liked it! You guys who are plans-building and are well ahead are my inspiration, so the thanks go to you for keeping me (and others, I'm sure) motivated. :)

I plan to do a few more "shorts" like that, no editing, just a quick video as if you dropped by the workshop and hung out for a few minutes. Having done an RC hobby podcast for over 7 years, I've done my time with the post-production editing. I'd rather make parts. :)

Great idea! Too late for my STOL build though.... I'll have to remember it for my next project!  Thanks for taking the time to share!

Believe me, nobody was more surprised than me when Jon asked if he could use it. :)

Looks like Home built Help is using your video to demonstrate? How about that for a pat on the back. :-)

Thanks guys! It seemed like an obvious idea to me to use the brake both as a straight edge and to snap the part after scoring. Maybe it wasn't so obvious after all, considering the reaction to it. 

It'll make short work of the "miles of L's" for sure. LOL
