Came across this one today..... Looks like fun and a whole lot more successful than when Travis Pastrana tried it.

Yup Herman got hacked. I got junk in my personal email from him too. If you see this... Change your password Herman! I found it interesting that aside from trying to decide if a 20 ft trailer was long enough that was the most action "The List" had seen in a few weeks. Come on over guys...the days of exchanging technical information via email lists are antiquated at best.

Is it just me, or are the replys to the spam from Herman's hacked account (on the yahoo group) a little over the top. Looks like a bunch of guys got up this morning and put on a barb wire Gstring and had the school bully give them a superman wedgie!
For the totally clueless... If you see email coming from a person that looks way out of the ordinary and out of character, DON'T OPEN IT! It is generally not their fault, they are just a victim of hackers. Hacker about closed this site down three times in the last few years and damn near caused me to throw in the towel, but I wont let these punks get the best of me!
I like a good debate and bare knuckles brawl myself, but this just seems a bit over the line and the moderator over there a bit to hasty to judge. How the hell can you get to be a moderator when you cant even recognize the work of a spammer and not the individual who has been posting to the site for years

When you look at the bottom the reply box, there is a button to hit on the lower right side that says "More Reply Options" When you click on that on the bottom left side of the box you should see a big paper clip that says attach files and a button under it that says "Choose files" Click that then browse on the computer to where you have the file on your computer and click the picture. This will upload from your computer directly to this site and you wont have to link through a 3rd party server like photo bucket or one of those sites.

Here is what I did. The change up I bought from airdale broke. The top spring is the original avid with the end cut off. The lower is a modified trailer spring.file://localhost/Users/admin/Pictures/iPhoto%20Library/Originals/2013/21-Sep-13/IMG_1138.JPGfile://localhost/Users/admin/Pictures/iPhoto%20Library/Originals/2013/21-Sep-13/IMG_1136.JPG
Sorry guys. Need to learn how to post a picture.

Great to see John's perspective as an 'insider', but it would appear history proves Phil Reed was not the cure-all.

I would not go dual. Three leafs is the only way. SIngles break, duals go flat.
This shop will talk to you about the spring you need officially for your "go cart". If you explain that you need one of the 1-1/2" wide springs they have made for the airplane guy in Rhinelander, he will understand.
I think you will have $50 with shipping...
Perfectly sized, arched and tempered 3-spring delivered to your door... for $50!
Oye ve, perhaps it's true... you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink?
Personally, I just LOVE it when somebody does all the hard lifting for me. ;-)

So after doing a little math I have determined I can remove my 2 header tanks and replace them with a 10 Gallon aluminum tank and still be within CG limits. Does anybody disagree with this idea? It would give me an extra hour of fuel, still be able to carry plenty of baggage and 350+ pounds of plt/pax. I'm a little uncomfortable flying on the header tank only but it sounds like its a common practice.

You be grumpy to,while under trailer I get a call my credit card was canceled, hacked!!!!!!

Hey Snaps- Last time I saw you at the SPB, you were ass deep in trailer repairs and just a tad bit grumpy. Hell of a way to end the week, hope you made it home without any drama. BTW, who's the numbskull that ordered those tiny mugs for the CornRoast this year? On the bright side, I got a great deal on an iFly720 at the auction. One of only two with a custom SPA splash page on start up, pretty cool! See you guys next year, Doug

I kind of figured this was your issue due to the low EGT's. The only way the EGTS will be that low is if your running way fat on the jets (but then it would miss and blubber and the plugs would be black) or the prop is over pitched (do to crappy tach). When the engine is happy, the EGTS will be around 1100-1150 on take off/ climb out and the RPMS on climb out should be 64-6500 for best short field/ climb and around 62-6300 for a better cruise speed. If your prop pitch is too low, you may have issues with EGTS trying to go over 1200 in cruise. It is a balancing act that the IVO inflight prop makes VERY easy to do. With that said, its not too bad to get a ground adjustable prop dialed in to give you acceptable performance also.
Glad you got it sorted out!

another vote for the Tiny Tach. Third tach on my 582. max static rpm: UMA tach 4800 rpm, Aviasport Tach 7000 rpm, Tiny Tach 6250 rpm. They were all pretty equal until about 5000 rpm then the two needle tachs were off.

Just found this at Aircraft Spuce. Which set would work?

Every Avid I know of is nose heavy anyways, so throwing a few more pounds on the tail really helps!
Reason enough to go w/a 3/leaf. Mine is nose heavy and requires quite a bit of up elevator trim.

I would go dual leaf. Too many single springs have broke and that gets spendy for repairs when the dual springs would have saved it from happening.

Someone here at work just suggested I simply go to the scrap yard and find springs there and cut them to fit. That actually sounds like a good pennytech idea.

yeah, looks like he had this down WAY before the nitro crew tried it. maybe they should spend less time drinking and more time researching hahahaha. He used a cut down wing to get some speed up, the Nirto crew tried it with a full size wing and were never able to build up enough speed to get it stable.
