Align Towel/Mat

[Mart61]

Just wondering if anyone uses the Align towel/mat to do your repairs on? I've seen them in my LHS but can't quite see the benefit. Is there any?

i got 1 with the LE kit, still in the packet lol

I thought it was just for cleaning your hands??

I used to use mine to wipe the sheep shit off the skids & tail blades when flying at tims

Think Martin needs it for the mess he's made on the Tomorrows World thread

You can't beat the Andrex puppies for that kinda mess.

Wait...that sounds wrong doesn't it?

Its a towel. What more do you need to know?!

i always work on my helis with a white rag underneath them, it stops tiny screw etc bouncing around when the fall...

I work on a bit of card, so if I drop a scew it bounces onto the floor and i get to spend the next hour swearing and trying to find it!!

Have not started my LE build so might have a look to see if there is one in there, would be handy if there was

You can always use it to hitch a ride in a passing Vogon spaceship

Sounds like a good idea to me.

Well, yeah, I'd spotted that. I thought perhaps I'd missed something. That it had some magical qualities.

Perhaps it's a magnetic towel that attracts runaway screws? Perhaps it buzzes if you've not threadlocked a fastener? Or maybe, just maybe, you lay all the parts and tools out on it and, just before you go to bed, you utter the magic words and wake to a fully assembled and rigged T-rex?

This is not just any towel. It's an Align towel!

lol Align towel - you're scraping the barrel now Martin on things to buy

Hi

It's mainly for laying under the model when you working on it so small screw don't bounce off the table in to the grass/carpet never to be seen again.
Worth it's weight in gold almost and as Janek pointed out you buggered for flagging down a Vogon ship with out it (if any one doesn't get that bit then don't ask just go hang your head in shame some where!)

Cheers
Bob
