as far as i know no one else has done it but mind you, i don't go to magor flying clubs either and i'm also in the little secluded island below australia....tasmania.
but going to a flying field is on my to-do list
i only got into rc 2 years ago and i'm 15 y.o (i leart to machine from my dad who taught me how to use our old myford lathe)

adn to anyone who does not have one, GET A LATHE!!! that is if you have the time and money.
even if you cant do the complicated stuff it is still handy to take of that few mm's or that outside diameter (O.D)

i will get the pics for you tomorrow captin, fogot the camera today.[]
