A Simple Alignment Test

[LightninBoy]

Back by popular demand!

Well, I finally got around to remaking the video showing a really simple way to test your alignment with a tuning board and square. Hope you like it!

Thanks everyone for the comments! I do plan on making several more videos. The next one is going to be a lot more involved so for this short video I was trying to get to know the camera and some new editing software.

If there's anything here that could be improved please let me know. One thing I struggle with is how much to assume the viewer knows. So I'm targeting these videos to the newish PinewoodDerbyOnline members - folks who know the scout build tricks and are just beginning to learn how to build a car like a pro.

B_Regal - legend has it that Ry Cooder played all the Eugene parts in the movie. So, I'm pretty sure that's Ry not Steve.

I should clarify that legend has it that Ry Cooder played all of Eugene's *slide* parts. The final piece that wins the duel for Eugene was apparently played by Vai. But it doesn't sound like him at all to me. Something about the pick attack sounds like a different player ... but looking at txchemists' post it is credited to Vai and he's probably good enough to play the piece such that it doesn't sound like him.

Vai is a virtuoso.

Nice job on the video!

Hah! You know, at first I had no idea what you were talking about because I didn't recognize your username. Now I understand.

Just move along folks. Inside joke. Nothing to see here.
