RE: thats not a project!
Too funny. Being a carpenter I have experienced what people call "projects". What I call a project is an addition, finished basement, entertainment center, or new cabinets, etc. I have had people demand I come over to see their new project and it's a hack looking shelf without even routered edges. I agree that bolting on a store bought product is barely a project, but project is a relative term. Try not to snip ones low end project as it will take their confidence to take on more "project" worthy tasks later. I'm new to RC's and consider the blitz I got a project. I'm not fabricating things for it but trying to figure out just what was done to this thing so I can undo it with minimal knowledge is fairly self rewarding. I also vacuum formed a body for it, but I'd barely call that a project since I'm really just cloning a body that was store bought. The experience of putting the aparatus together and having a positive outcome is killer. Maybe later I'll whittle a balsa block to make my own body but getting to the point of fabrication comes in baby steps. Especially if you don't have the needed machinery to give you quality better or equal to what is on the shelf.<div> Great video by the way, definitely makes one want to get outside the box (or shelf)</div>
