see if this works..
Pit Box

This is perfect. I can print this out for templates or to make stencils to transfer onto sheet ply. Now anyone with a scroll saw or even a handheld jigsaw can make one of these.

Roger
Had you given any thought to offering the pit box as a kit?

would like one if you do

Too damned lazy to go get the right ply and scroll cut the pieces

I have a few glue caddies same idea

Laser cut is so much more precise than I could ever do with saws (and I have 40 years wood working experience and some very good tools)

YUP! Been so busy lately and there did not seem to be too much interest but yes, i can do a kit. $10 plus shipping. it's small and does not weigh much so shipping should not bee too bad

I know you are real busy from our PM exchange

So when you have the time I would like a pit box kit

No hurry at all

Just in case anyone is interested, I worked with Roger's pdf file of his mini pit box, and worked up a CAD file that has both a plan design on 11" x 17" plan that you can print out -or- a pieced layout for a 12" x 24" piece of plywood.

I'm happy to make either the CAD plan available, or a PDF file of either/both layouts.

If anyone is interested, let me know here or PM me.

fredvon4 Wed May 11, 2016 12:28 pm

I still want the laser cut kit box but realized Roger got busy with work so patiently waiting for his next spurt of projects

rogermharris Wed May 11, 2016 12:54 pm

Keep bugging me fred. I am overworked at the moment and still need to ship the micro kits out. On top of it my wife had surgery this past Monday and I'm mr mom and caregiver at the moment

duke.johnson Tue May 24, 2016 1:32 pm

Thanks
Duke

Well I guess I should bee honored if mine would have made it unbroken ; haven't heard from my PM either , Eric Huh...

rogermharris Fri Jun 03, 2016 7:18 am

pm'ed you guys.

Eric,, let me know what you need.

Duke... sent you an email and answered your pm.

the rest of the kits will go out today or monday
sorry for the delay in getting them shipped out. my job is in overdrive right now and my wife has not been well the past few weeks so packing up kits for shipping fell through the cracks. after seeing how eric's kit arrived i came up with a different shipping container. short of being run over by a truck there should be no damage and that took a bit of time as well

just know the kits are going out

roddie Fri Jun 03, 2016 8:03 am

Hey Rog, good to hear from you. I sincerely hope and pray that your wife's health improves soon. My life has had a lot of bumps in the road these days. Taking care of yourself and your family is the most important thing.. naturally.

I actually like what Eric's done with his RM B-Bipe.. and omitting/using the flame-cut doublers as paint-stencils! We'll have to see how it balances/fly's without their weight.

Eric's thread

duke.johnson Fri Jun 03, 2016 8:31 am

Thanks Roger. We all understand how life gets in the way. I'm just glad YOU didn't fall between the cracks. Thanks again! Can't wait to see it! I'll have three new RM builds now. Bipe, micro slab, and micro built up. All by Roger. I think I'm a collector of "Roger Ringmasters" now.

Jersey Jack Pinball. That was a surprise. I've been wondering the last couple days what I ordered!

That is a serious tube you used. Might I suggest a triangular USPS mailer next time?

Everything looks in good order. Well sealed up in that bag too.

rogermharris Mon Jun 27, 2016 1:35 pm

well phil... i wanted there to be no doubt that it would get there unharmed. the tubes are from spent rolls of vinyl. we print a lot of decals in house so i have a pretty good supply of those tubes. i looked at the triangle mailers but wanted something i knew was strong enough to take some abuse. i have not had time to get to the post office so i sent these out from work. yes, i build pinball machines

i'm guessing everyone else has received their kits by now. i need to cut another for eric to replace the damaged one..

duke.johnson Mon Jun 27, 2016 1:49 pm

It's going to be to hot for this wahington boy to work outside this week. I think I'm going to start these kits tonight. Thanks
again Roger.

rogermharris Mon Jun 27, 2016 2:00 pm

looking forward to seeing the micro stunt completed. i like to put one together myself just to make sure everything fits well and nothing is missed but just have not have the spare time... have not even had some time to get out and fly this year yet...

I didn't realize the tube was "free" as in a scrap core from film.

I plan to get started on my kit soon.
