Hi Fellow tankers,

 

I was reading Kevin's post on how hot it is and just had to respond.  Last Christmas I took a weeks leave to look after the kids and more importantly get some Jagdpanther building done.  Wouldn't you know it we had a heat wave.  By 10 in the morning it was 36 degrees Centregrade and all you could do close the house up and watch DVD's.  I went down the shed mid afternoon and took this picture, it's a little blurry but you can see that it's like 60 C (130F) in the shed.

 

My Jagdpanther is coming along well.  I've gotten the gun working well shooting 12 to 15mm plastic beads.  Last week I received my IBC speed controller and also picked up some 7.2 amp gel cells.  Now just have to find a nice way to lay out the wiring it it should be ready for a test run.  Hopefully over the Christmas beak I'll get the time, weather depending!!.

 

I'll let you guys know.
