It has to be at ridiculously high temp to ignite otherwise. It does ignite when machining it (ask me how I know this) if one is too aggressive with the cut and the piece and the small pieces of swarf heat up. Ti powder is another ball game entirely... Yep, I know cuz I used to grind Ti airplane parts and yes I have set my sleeve on fire. If there were a dent in a pipe it could get very hot but even if there were some form of powder it would burn off very quickly. Just thinking out loud (virtually). chrish and Archimedes 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious as it seems like a particularly flammable topic! Cheers Alan Guess you may have missed the no politics rule, but since the mods have let this thread go and turn into a non-LSP discussion, maybe the rules don’t apply any more?

We've been criticised in the past for being too heavy handed, and now we're being criticised for letting a thread meander, looks like we just can't win. Who knows what this thread is about - it was a dead duck from page 1 - but at least, from a moderating point of view, it didn't go toxic. D.B.

Ali62 Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Andy, well ok maybe I agree but let us be honest surely the main title should be changed?? I keep having a look in JUST in case there is NEW NEWS, not FAKE news that there is a new 109 coming from Tamiya but it is everything but..... Also if you were new to LSP, reading the title you get excited and or interested to find out that it is umpteen pages of everything but a Tamiya 109, or even of aircraft. I like many others am quite happy with some chat but I think personally there should be some parameters without being dictatorial about it, some thread wander is ok, but when the main initial point is dead then, what is the point of then discussing other and interesting things under the same title. Some of the hints, tips and other points that may then be useful to some may not get seen or read because they are then in a thread about a whimsical 109, and not in an appropriate thread. just my thoughts Pup7309 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don’t necessarily have to kill it, but why can’t it be moved over to General Discussion? Any LSP content is pretty much long gone. Other threads have been moved.

LSP_K2 Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Anyone, and I do mean anyone, that wants to resume the original topic here in this thread, is more than free to do so at any time. My guess is that the topic itself is pretty well played out, or there would have been more inputs regarding it. I can read discussions about "what if" topics all day long. Not very productive, but I'm still game for it. As to moving it, that may well be something to consider. Archimedes and Out2gtcha 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob MDC Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 You Guys do a great job "thanks" On the original thread Tamiya did a full digital scan of the two "G's" in the Finnish air museum and I think they are the best un restored examples in captivity Bob LSP_Matt, Archimedes, MikeC and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Ron well from my side I am more than happy, with LSP, and I always like seeing what is happening and will continue supporting the site, as lots of guys on here support me, and I still have quite a few sets brewing. I and many others I am sure appreciate what you guys do, I certainly do not want to cause bad feelings, but just thought I would put my view across. cheers Ali MikeC, LSP_Ron, Out2gtcha and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
