   I thought all planes had a mirror so you could see the F-16s coming up behind you!

   Once you get started you just can't put it down.

   The windows on Joey's TD are EXACTLY the same as the ones on my MKIV. The look awesome, but contribute nothing functionally (unless you install a small rear view mirrior for taxiing) and they add to the weight.
    
   Just sayin......

   It's been a real cold winter up here in Mn, and I've been spending way to much time on youtube.  I got a kick out of this one.  Maybe some of you will as well.   Russian soldiers in a spoon fight....   Some guys don't know when to quit.  LOL   Jim Chuk

    akflyer added a post in a topic New float plane needs a 670    23 Feb 2015

    There are a whole lot of planes using side mounts and 3:1.  The only thing I have heard about 3:1 was IVO said don't use 3 blade ultralight prop with the 3:1.  I did it for a whole lot of hours with no issues, but I like the way mine fly's using 2.62:1

    Seems like someone said the 3:1 couldn't be used with side mount Do you have bottom mount?
    Or, was that for Kitfox?
    I know nothing about this!

    Wallys are good eating. We got some Jack Salmon at Shnucks (the anti-gun folks) Friday and they smelled bad - had to take them back and eat tuna patties.

    With the weather and bumps down here, it takes about a 1200 lb or more GW to keep me comfortable bouncing around.

    I notice that you forgot to include a tape measure with those bait fish!
    I think we are only allowed one walleye here, for safety reasons - Two if you have a huge boat!
    I've got a photo of a 33 pound striped baby bass.
    Good Fishing,

    Alaska ruined my fishing - gave away my good dipnet - didn't use a pole except for halibut, and nothing that big down here!

    Bill,
    I don't think it matters much - My Kitfox ones were 1/4 or 3/8 - Guess thicker might be better if it works, but don't see why the thinner wouldn't work, except it wears faster.
    My book says to finish the fit with a file, as the tube goes thru at an angle - not too loose, or too tight - just a light pressure on tube.

    I bought the brackets from Kitfox, and they are very nice. Top notch manufacturing, and plated (zinc or cad it looks like). The only thing I don't like is they are steel, and seem kind of heavy. I should weight them though. I could just about guarantee they won't be a point of failure though.

    My Bandit with the 503 is a great single place airplane just like a heavier higher horsepower airplane is also a good single place airplane. No wind and taking off of a hard surface runnway I can be airborne in 170 ft. Cruise at 6000 rpm is 69 mph. Check out my video "takeoff circle and land in 50 seconds"

    TJay added a post in a topic Trailing edge ribs glued in the wrong position....Thoughts?    23 Feb 2015

    i would just do what was mentioned Mr.  Add some plywood under that rib and rivet and glue on aluminum pieces to bring them down a bit like the kitfox rib stiffeners. just make them a bit taller like was mentioned before in this post. here is mine, yours could be the same just a little bigger. what ever you do don't give up on her, it is a really nice looking plane.
