We’re back at it in 2024. There’s a black bull just below center in this image. We found one more bull out of 4 out there and didn’t see any of the missing pairs yet.

Silverhawk. It is more a less the same as the original Bendix system.

New in box carburetor. part number 5-4164-1. This carb came with a new Titan O-370 I received direct from Titan. After receiving the engine I decided to go with a fuel injection system. This carb was in the original box from Marvel Schebler and I don't think it was ever installed on the...

Sorry to hear this George. I hope they’re found. An eerie ring to it. Reminds me of the pre-elt stories about Juan and Boggs.

FWIW, I received this engine in July of 2024. So; about the 18 months quoted.

Ben, I’m so glad to see you’re getting out where you want to be. Congrats again on the PPL and plane purchase.

I agree with your observations on travel and Montana and Missoula. We’re getting excessively hot in the afternoons now. 50 degree changes morning to evening are common. 56 as I write this and will be close to 100 later. It’s still green but that can’t last long with this heat. My brother and I...

Their customer service is amazing. I had a mag problem 2 years ago, one they had overhauled about 350 hours earlier, and they fixed it no charge while I waited. They’re about a 45 minute flight from me and I brought the mag to them in another plane. Within an hour I was flying back home with the...

Haha Ralph, no we’ve been happily married for many decades. But friends are getting married that weekend and we’re attending.

I wish I could make it this year but we’re going to a wedding.

We had another fun time at the show this year. I prefer the Palmer venue over the FedEx hangar. Both had advantages but the Fairgrounds is better IMO. Some of the highlights for me were seeing some new products from vendors; like Airframes new Cub shock system and parking brakes. Catto had...

This was not too far west of Missoula two days ago. WAAMI is an exchange program for students from western states that do not have a medical program allowing them to attend Washingtons medical school.

We go to Missoula often. It is the closest big city for us. Most recently my wife had ankle surgery there that has required a few follow up trips. The city proper is nice and growing fast. It is amazing how fast. It seems new apartment complexes pop up in between our trips there. The airport...

Steve, looking at this while I eat breakfast I see I’m still logged in from last night. It used to be we would get timed out after some period of time.

I logged in ok but it returns that I’m a non-member.

I just bushed seatbelt attach points. I turned bushings with a 2-step diameter. the 5/16” diameter was a bit proud so the AN5 bolt could be torqued but the steel attach part of the belt can rotate freely under the bolt head. I think the diameter under the belt attach is 3/8” dia. On...

That is interesting. I ordered an O-370 direct from Titan in January of 2023 and I’m not expecting it this month or next. I was told 14-18 months.

An outhouse with electricity helps 😀

I like .040” for interior panels. Weight is equal to bare .020” aluminum. Curbell plastics is were I bought my last sheets. They had black and white. I wanted gray but they only had it in .060”.

You other Montana guys are making us look like the banana belt again. Saturday morning was a mellow -28. This morning, still dark, we’re a pleasant -10 which was about our high yesterday. Tomorrow looks like it should be a nice ski flying day with +single digits forecast.
