have you tried seeing if you could make one large club with the flying club at Beaulieu just a different area for buggies truggies etc that would reduce the cost for them and you everyone's a winner plus they already have a club structure in place!!!???
band-saw/vertical milling machine doesn't even need to be cnc FTW. As ali alloys don't like to be ground and clog up grinding wheels and discs, plus with an angle grinder you have nowhere near the control to make a god job of it
sorry for jumping in on your post,
Would the SMD evo 2 be able to accommodate an st pro on the adjustable posts or would i struggle to get it to fit as i would need it for a 8.5 pro as well.....??
Cheers
