A question:
With damper set at 4, drag factor is 117.
Is that within acceptable range?
Will hit 800k tomorrow morning.
Hoping for 1M by new year.
Cheers.

That's just about what I'd expect on a clean machine.

Another Reindeer !

Post by Kona2 » December 5th, 2011, 10:29 am

Woohoo, Bernie ! Congratulations on getting your reindeer! Number 30 in the Luna herd !Since you're located in New Zealand, thought perhaps we should give you a reindeer that could help us a bit in the skies over the southern hemisphere. According to a Greek myth, it was Centaurus who first grouped the stars into constellations. He also taught humans how to read the sky. Centaurus placed a picture of himself in the sky to guide a group of sailors called the Argonauts....but that's another story...

Row on ! And on !
