[ARC5] Re: [Milsurplus] Command key ?

Heh...I left that as an exercise for the reader...   :-P    However, I 
know for a fact that Breck Smith K4CHE also does a wonderful job in that 
regard (when he's not flying...)

Any of the aircraft "bays" on the web page can be constructed using a 
chop saw, a variable speed drill/bits, a 6-32 tap, WD-40 or kerosene, 
and some tin snips.  When I return from TDY I'll try to put some of the 
dimentia, er...dimensions on the web page for those who wish to create 
the same environment.  It pretty closely replicates the structural 
elements used in WWII patrol, ferret, and large combat aircraft - at 
least dimensionally.  You can get Home Despot or Lowes to presaw the 
plywood in the correct size for the shelves, and if desired you can 
dispense with the aluminum cladding that I use to provide an optimum 
ground environment and just varnish the shelves, as many of them 
actually were in WWII.  See the /Flak Bait/ radio position photo in some 
of the NASM books for a beautifully varnished fold-down radio ops shelf 
if you don't believe me.
