Hi Folks,
Mr. Leno may have given a over simplification on this process.
We used technology very similar to this to design piston domes during
the last 10 or so years that I was at Ross Racing Pistons. The
difference was that we used Giddings & Lewis coordinate measuring
machines which actually used a Ruby stylus to touch the part that was to
be duplicated (or reverse engineered) in hundreds of different spots.
These spots were digitized, and downloaded to a CAD (computer aided
design) program, processed, and then downloaded to a CNC (computer
numerical control) program which ran the FADAL vertical machining
centers. The difference between the system that Jay Leno has, is that
the scanning is done without actually touching the part that is to be
duplicated, which appears would save about thirty minutes scanning time
on a small, relatively simple part. This scanning on the G & L machines
does not require that the operator be at the machine all of the time so
you are saving machine time and not operator and machine time.
To make a one off part you still must make the holding fixture for the
part blank, install the proper cutting tools, (drills, end mills, groove
cutters, ball end mills and so fourth) into the CNC mill/and or lathe.
Our FADAL machines held about 15 to 20 tools, and since we were a one
product company and had eight of them on the floor, tool changing was
not generally an issue. However, if you only wanted to make one of
something it would be.
It is still quicker/better/easier to do some secondary operations on a $
250.00 drill press or an old Bridgeport vertical mill.

That is amazing.
I can think of all kinds of small part off a TC that can be built again.
Door Handles?
Control Wheels?

I never heard of a Thrush rash just the bird.
Some year I hope the meeting will be in Vancouver, Canada, no excessive
temperatures here, green grass year round.

Hi Thrush Driver Dan,
Thanks so much for the update on your search for the Thrush!
It is really good for us 'Downunder' folk to be looped in on the meanderings of
you and the Grand Poopah..we love receiving ANNOUNCEMENTS!
I wondered though whether the issues of a wheel chock being left in front of the
right hand gear and a life-size lump of poo, were properly discussed during
your time together and finally 'put to bed'!
It is really pleasing to know that retirement has lead you to the opportunity to
squarely consider 'straight' marriage and that you have an outcome!!
Glad to read that 69U is getting through the air.
All the very best from Oz!

Well, Cap't Dan, that is not exactly like I remember it!!? Seems we were doing
right fine, I was ensuring a safe and comfortable trip while flying from the right
seat.?All went well until center gave us a heading to a radial then a DME
fix , then cleared us direct to our destination?and then asked us for a position
report.? I calmly asked Capt Dan?if he might find time in his busy schedule
to?call up the new VOR frq and place it in the G530 while?I flew the plane,
climbed to the new altitude, turned to the new heading,?dead recon navigated,
adjusted the heater (he was to hot), checked for ice, relayed on the radio and
took a sip from my diet coke.? It seemed like an eternity but?I know it could
not have taken Capt Dan more that 35 or 40 minutes to break the code on his easy
to use G530 and set in the new freq.? Of course by the time he had skillfully
accomplished this arduous task,?I had flown the aforementioned 90 nautical
miles, via dead reckoning,?and we?were at the turn p
oint.? I estimated we were about 45 feet to the left of course and 3 feet high
in altitude.
Now, for a future plans to marry and move to the north country.? The answer is
no Dan, I said it then and I say it again, no.? The only thing I found worth while
was the chili at the "chili fest" in the motel on the way home. (Imagine
if you will, spending the night in a room with capt Dan after we had consumed
a total of 14 bowls of chili).
As we "defarted"? the next morning, there was no need to "gas" the plane.? It gave
new meaning to flying an airplane with a "combustion" heater.? Capt Dans 500B
performed great but it was nearly impossible to keep the airplane right side
up in the turbulence so the eybrow windows came im right handy!!.? All in all
it was a fun trip!!? Capt jimbob
The Grand Poopah really loves the Garmin 530.? A person can not dial the knobs
and push buttons fast enough to keep up with the request so he natuarlly got us
lost.? But we recovered had a great time..
