Thank you for reminding me there are still optimists in this world. I am so happy for you that you get to have that outlook. I envy you in fact. ...

Your assertion about self promotion is spot on. Seems like you could make a living these days with no skills at all if you promoted yourself enough....

Aero Addict - I can see where you might be there. The "not being a fan" of experimental refers to what most folks do. I've seen so many folks...

This whole archaic "Look at me! I'm a pilot" schtick really chaps my hide. This falls into the same category as Air Racing these days. It's...

I'm one of them. I've seen too many things that are just crazy stupid dangerous - and on "prize winners." A Clipper project where the guys actually...

If you have someone you trust - go with them - even if it's more expensive. The person you don't know could be outstanding; or they could be not so....

Sorry to have missed that. My apologies. But hey, jumping to conclusions is just about the only exercise I get these days!

I respect your right to your opinion, but I can't imagine a scenario where I could agree with a statement that starts "too much Freedom." Can't...

I expect it wouldn't be available around here. Smooth river rock requires lots of water - and although the Humboldt ( the river followed by the...

And I appreciate it greatly.

Thanks for the reminder. I feel stupid but I do have a tendency to forget and land three point - since I'm a real big proponent of three point. But...

Thank you so much. Are you suggesting there are abrasion boots for the prop? OR are you referring to those on the tail? I've got the ones for the...

My Skywagon is one of those with a pretty dinged up leading edge on the horizontal back there. Someone put on the leading edge sheath (cover?) after...

Not familiar with the "rake brake." Anything like a Jake Brake on a big truck? I know about those! Seriously though I couldn't find anything on...

Thanks for the idea. I don't know if those would work with my tires - or tires any larger than 6.00X6, but it's an idea worth mentioning when...

My source for the "8.50 was delivered from the factory" is a friend of mine whose Dad was a dealer back in the 70's. He tells me that either they...

Right now I've got standard 8.00X6 - with tread. I agree with you that no tread would be better in my situation. That's the target for the next set...

That gravel is fractured rock - a byproduct of the gold mining process used in one of the nearby mines. But it is faceted just like crushed rock. ...

Small is exactly the reason I got to this point. It comes up very easily. I had thought that if I had gotten larger gravel to begin with it would...

Thank you Sir! A great reply and I appreciate it greatly. I will discuss this thoroughly with my A&P/IA.

Would you please be so kind as to post your N number so we can all follow along with your flight? This is a great undertaking you've got going on...
