    Thank you Sir!  Site has pretty much been on autopilot but lately the russian hackers have been trying hard to get in and I have been busy in the background trying to keep the site up.  I think everyone has been hit hard the last few years $$ wise, but I will always do my best to keep the site up and running, even though it seems FB has taken over and replaced most forums these days.

    NEW MEMBERS TRYING TO SIGN UP
    Seems that there are a bunch of bots or spammers trying to sign up here.  I try to weed them out but sometimes one or two slip through.
    If you are legit trying to sign up, please don't try a user name that sounds like a 70s porn star, and don't have an email that is just a bunch of gobbled nonsense.  Gmail users seem to have the most creative ones that I have been blocking.

    I have not been approving some who are signing up that seem to be spammers or bots.  If you can PM me who it was that messaged you I will delete them.

  9. akflyer added a post in a topic Looking for MkIV 912 engine mount   

    I have built a few using the ring mount on the engine then my own design mount from the firewall to the ring mount.  Unfortunately, its time consuming even with the jigs I made to cut and cope the tubes then weld out the mount.  I get laughed at for the price even if I only paid myself 20 bucks an hour to build it.  No problem, go out and spend 3800 on a good tig machine, take the time to build jigs, buy the materials and teach yourself to weld.  I know its harsh, but there is a reason why people who have tried to build parts to support these planes have failed.  Everyone thinks that we should do it for the same price some dude in china is mass producing parts using shit materials and questionable welding practices can do it for.  Its not just a couple hour job to weld up a good motor mount.

    Just seeing this.  I know Bob has a 503 or two sitting in the garage as well as a few 582s and 670s.  His son will be wanting to sell this stuff off in the near future.  LOTS and LOTS of KF parts, frames, wings etc from mod 1 -4.

    only 1 end is adjustable on the avid so the front strut sets the dihedral and the one adjustable end will allow you to rig it for hands off flying should it be needed.

    GMAIL NEW SIGN UP ISSUES
    Just a heads up, if anyone is trying to sign up and has a Gmail account, I don't think Gmail is letting the validation email come through.  I see quite a few guys that have tried to sign up but have never "responded" to the email.  If you are having trouble, shoot me a message and I will go in and manually approve you.
