Really Big Toys

Lots of us have rusty old metal out back . Few of us have huge milling machines , dozers and bits that combined , can make just about anything .
But none of can wire up these monster 3 phase motors from single phase power lines .

And only a few of us have so many wonderful precision handles to play with. Robot with controller in the background . Here we find out about how to make a 3phase motor work on single phase, and Jimmy finds out how to switch on the pinball machine on,,,, without paying .

Just about ready to fly

Yes its all there!
But this less than 500kg plane with a few kgs of wings needs 300 metres of clear space - not so common in Barongarook Forest . We'll go out and celebrate one morning in a few months, when its all together.
