When it rains it pours, eh?

 

I tend to redo things as an improvement each time untill it is perfect. I have an ultimate build plan when I initially start out a project and complete it as I can afford it. I never want to wait until I can afford the ultimate, so I build what I have and enjoy it for what it is worth, improving it as I go along.

 

Good luck on the engine build, and good luck on the computer build!

 

I Guess it's better to be brilliant and make lots of mistakes, cus you only accept the bestest and money is just something that gets printed.

I grew up without the interwebsnet and patience was mandatory back then. You used to study a catalog of zillions of parts and figure out what would work, take notes, order, wait 6 weeks for delivery. Better not screw up the order, or just jump in and break something when it arrives or it is another 6 weeks and more money and no finished project.

 

you're 16. an aircraft designer. engines come naturally to you. yet, you have no idea how to figure out a prehistoric 2 stroke.

remind me never to fly again...

You can BS all the people some of the time, and some of the people all of the time, but you cant BS all the people all the time.

If someone makes a snarky comment you don't like - and you choose to make a snarky comment yourself instead of simply ignoring it, replying in a mature fashion or just reporting it to staff, you're just as bad.

What you're doing here is turning a minor issue into a major public spectacle, one mildly rude comment questioning the authenticity of a claim into a public crucifixion based on unrelated incidents which in all likelihood escalated exactly as this one is.

If you have a problem with someone - ignoring them is by far the easiest thing to do, PMing them to see what's up the mature thing to do, reporting them to staff is the proper thing to do.

Everything else is childish hypocrisy that just makes the problem you're complaining about worse - which is exactly why we sometimes pull posts like these.


Let's jus' continue to babble about our toys and move on.

 

i posted my rude little coment because the first post of your thread was about how much experience you have, which is impressive, at such a young age, yet the rest of your posts are about how you turned a perfectly good (and simple) engine into a doorstop.

you don't seem to have any working knowledge of tools, are confused about the nature of parts (venturis, as an example) and you're spending more time breaking things than building them.

which, in itself is fine. it's a comedy of errors, and it's not what bothered me enough to heckle you.

but statements like these is what made me want to humble you a bit:

"... if you cant figure it out then maybe you shouldnt be playing with these engines..."

and

"...but i've always upgraded things to the fullest , since these engines aren't even made correctly I,m remaking it , in a way as close to properly as i can , i've always done this and it works for my planes and other projects , in my eyes i'm doing it right the first time..."

if you want to be a know-it-all, great. but wait till you can back it up with results.

y'know. like me...

p.s. i really hope you figure it out and learn something. i'm not trying to dash a kid's dreams, and i don't think i have that power, so just keep at it. at least if you keep breaking stuff before it's even run, then when things break by natural causes, you'll already know how to fix them.

pps. Salty, dude, i said i was sorry.

 

We all gotta start somewhere. Should'a seen the crap I got my hands into growing up. Between that and chores, My father kinda figured was staying out a trouble. Well it was always a maybe there.

I am 40+ years old and still get a new grasp of respect for my elders means too. Sometimes I still step in something lol. Just take good notes and stay out a trouble its good to see people willing to work with there hands a bit and learn! Shoot that's one of the things I love the most about this forum!

 

Yes......let's just grow our toys....I publicly apologize to each and every member here for being a rude and uncouth member of the forum....happy biking folks !

Very eloquent Bairdco.....I was probably a tad harsh on you and I apologize for that.....you DO make some bad a$$ bikes I must say

Ben Franklin, an idea man from way back, insisted that patience is a virtue. I would add that failure is the tuition you pay for eventual success and impatience just raises the price.
