Hi Curt, Before they introduced eythonal(sp) in mogas, I burned alot of both types, avgas & mogas. I rotate and clean the plugs every six months and the only difference I could see related to gas and plugs was the type of deposits that had to cleaned out of the plug. So, related to your #2 quest...

GEE! That was nice Bruce! THANKS!

Yes, you asked 14 times more than Dave did. Don't even know if he knows that I didn't rejoin, we didn't talk about it and he didn't ask.

Just being around him made me want to rejoin. In fact, you pushed me over the edge, I'll rejoin this week.

Traci made it home, with the car, around 4pm and I landed at 6:30 pm tonight. Just a great 2 days! Left Jim and Lolly about 9am and flew, while listening to Lolly's Christmas CD, to Granbury where Ole Pokey and Joe Harris where waiting with coffee and pancakes. We met Larry Schleinat who has a grea...

I spent years after work and on weekends walking around airports with a camera taking pictures of airplanes. The Grand Prairie airport was a couple of miles from work and most of the time spent looking at airplanes was there. Eventually, I moved to within a mile of the airport so I could walk there ...

George I've been thinking about the way I actually fly when I find myself not being able to see outside the fuselage. I'm not saying it's the right way, because no one taught me this. But it might make for thoughtful discussion. How dependent are we on our vacuum instruments? This is the Attitude I...

I do have the 195 in Texas and would enjoy the breakfast and lunch flights if you don't mind having an old oil burner tag along, that is until the 170 comes down. I'll be in Texas most of the time from now until May so let me know. I saw Bob today and he is still Bob, everything in his hangar is sp...

If I rebuilt engines as my livelihood, believe that new baffles would be included in the price to protect my workmanship. There's no telling how many cylinders, etc have bit the dirt early due to improper baffles.

Looks very nice Richard! The air scoop looks different than what is on my A model, and the Figure 38 - engine installation illustration in the A parts calalog, page 70. The picture shows one on each side, as mine has. We've been having some fun breakfast and lunch flights here at Grand Prairie. Are ...

Richard provided the parts so this company could produce the baffle set for the A model. They do GREAT work. http://www.enginebaffles.com Joe- WOW!!! I looked back at my earlier post and realized the website is WRONG!!! The correct address for Airframes, Inc is http://www.supercubs.com NOT http://w...

The wobble socket works, but if you ever need to access within an even tighter place, a wobble extension works very well. Snap On tools have them in the 1/4 in size of different lengths, and larger drives if you need them. I've only seen the larger drive wobble extensions at Craftsman.

What do you say to a guy like that?

A: Expecting hail?
B: Get a grip!
C: Wasn't that the best batch of lightning we ever made ???!!!
D: Where you from???

Or, maybe he said "Man I had to go, couldn't find that pot, where the heck is it anyhow!"

Thanks Dave, that's a great setting for a 170, pulled back into the trees on a grass runway in the East Texas Piney woods. Kyle, back when you saw the plane it was a daily flyer commuting to work, it was needing a bath. Now that the company has moved to a different location and she is sitting in a h...

I just read Bob Hoover's book. You gotta love that guy! They sure had some fun pulling pranks, it''s a good read.

THANKS Miles, I have always thought yours is a great plane too, love the color scheme on yours. Mine sure is a smile maker when the prop starts turning. Got to commute to work in her for years, and morning after morning I couldn't hardly open the hangar doors for the excitement of getting to take of...
