The best wires for your Bendix mags is to replace everything with the slick mags and harness, One of the best things I did to my 11.
Roger looks great, my 11 is #902 but I don't need a crane to lift it ;-). keep us informed really have enjoyed your build.
If I did that then there would be no rescue/recovery team :roll:.
John I sure don't think your skills are inferior just have to get Tom ready and worked up for the beach. Rene is not out of this yet either
Hell even Meade can
Tom next time I'll land on the beach with the amphibs so you won't be shy to come into mikedicktom beach :roll:. I landed on the other shore with Mike a year or so earlier and it was a lot more...
I'm glad I didn't commit, now I don't feel so bad listening to the wind whistle by the house an watch the windsock dance around also the wife is making plans for me now that I'm not flying today.
Got to fly this morning for a little bit, I'm not going out on a limb and say I'll be there and be a no show :oops: (or Bill :roll: ;-)) and take a bunch of flack for not being where I said I would...
Today I'm going to try to get my wheels on :smile:, been trying to find a few minutes for the last week or so with nothing more done than looking at the plane in the hanger as I drive down my...
Cliff, Just start digging the other way, with all the construction at the toll plaza you will fit right in and cost overruns will be picked up by the transit authority at a big $$ savings for you and...
Scouter, For the first time I have to agree with Tim :yikez:, I've got 4 trucks and have had a few problems but will buy again when the time comes.
Did you notice they are just like most of us pilots, haul a $100,000.00 flying machine around with a $3,000.00 mini van ;-).
Tom, I think they were 9.5/1 but not 100% may have been 9/1. I really wish they had worked for me as they made some hp. and take Willy B up on his offer to try the prop. I need to send mine out to be...
Tom, Had Lycon pistons in for a while. after 10 or so hours (rings set) started to puff oil smoke, 200 +/- hour cylinders, flew 150 or so hours good power but smoke on start up and acceleration 2...
A real shame, he had just purchased Phil's 185 to redo and put on amphibs from what I have heard. Thoughts and prayers go out to his family.
John, Watch the ice the rain we had last week did a number on some of the lakes south of us, I had talked to a guy that said I could land a mile or so from him on a lake but I drove down a couple of...
Larry, Start hauling buckets of water out so at least it will be icy :wink:, I've got ice conditions and don't plan to change back over to wheels again this year :bang.
Always do a visual check of the float indicators also when landing don't just look for blue/green? lights on the dash, I saw a SC on wip amphibs land in the water at Greenville last year with a main...
I'm working days so can't make it but know a few guys that plan to. Steve the owner has a SC but not sure if he is on this site. I groomed my strip (ME17) today as the drifts were a pain in the butt....
Tom, You make putting skis on look way too complicated ( Lift, Heated Hanger, Lighting ). The next thing you need is a ski plane instructor to show you the basics ( callcliffforhelp.com) may help....

Tom Keep flying with Glenn, Tim, John,and Dick and before you know it you will be rebuilding the plane your flying. MikeDick beach is a good place to start making flying airplanes into projects...
