    not a big deal.. 6th surgery she has had this year.  I am thinking they should just have a suite set up for her as much money as we have spent in there in the last 4 or 5 yrs.  I am thinking I could pay off the national debt with what I have paid Drs and hospitals.  She will be fine, just something she gets to go through every 6 weeks or so.

    Let me know when they show up, I would have thought they would be there today.  Hope one of them will work for you!

    with any piece of rescue equipt, there may be ways you can hide from the sky.  I think I will happily take my chances and hope that I dont go down in the .01% of the state that does not have full coverage.

    I talked to my cousin who picked one up last year.  He said he gave it to his FIL who was using it in his cherokee 6 all over the state and they said it shoed his track and messages just fine.  If you look at the coverage map, about 99% of the state has full coverage.

    I know it has full coverage in any of the areas I would be flying the Avid to or riding the snowmachines, or taking out on the boat.

    the beerchug is next to the big gun.  easiest way to include the "chug" is to just type the following without the spaces : beerchug :  you can do the same with any of the emo's once you get to know the names of them  just like : nut kick : without the spaces would be

    I can fly 10 minutes from the airport and it would take a good rescue effort to find me by normal methods.  I think I have convinced myself to go ahead and order one.  I have seen alot of places that sell them for 150.00 with a 149.99 mail in rebate with subcription activation.  I think it may be the best 100 a year I can spend.

    I just looked at the pics again and noticed who your wing man was.  That is WAY too cool!  My Dad learned to fly in colledge, but decided early on that he like to look at the scenery too much and not pay attention to where he was going.  He quit flying long before I came along.  Once I got my ticket I was ready to take him out hunting and fishing and doing all the shit we had talked about, but he got plumb ate up with cancer and was never able to go flying with me.  Enjoy the time in the air you have and the memories you make with your dad, they are PRICELESS.

    He was being funny... We have done 3 or 4 different radiator configs on this one, and have done the belly radiator and his 532 still wants to over heat.

    Damnit Greg, what did you set the prop for max RPM.  should be getting 6250 to 6300 on the ground.  What were the EGTs at this prop setting?  Sorry I missed your call last night, I was snoring by the time you called

    We will get this thing figured out and get that bird in the air!

    I sent him an email a week or two ago asking him to stop by and post up to give you guys some help with the control issues.  So far have not heard back from him.

  20. akflyer added a post in a topic Why has our society became so obsessed with sex?   

    sex sells bud...  does your kid go to public school?  if so, you have no chance of shielding him from sex.  I got 3 spawns of satan 21, 18 and 17.  If they go to public schools or are let out of the house for any reason they will be corrupted.

    But I do understand 100% what you are saying.  I do agree that while I like to look at all the titts and ass I can, it does not mean I want to watch it with my kids on a family show.  Hell half the cartoons these days are TWISTED.  nothing like the road runner and shit like that I watched growing up

    or in the case of the PPC in front of a 2 stroke

    I knoiw I hear it all the time... I figure when my number is up then it is up.. till then, nothing I am going to do will speed up the process.  If I ball a plane up and walk or limp away from it, well I guess my number was not up, someone just wanted to get into my wallet

    OK I have a mix of them lol.  I cant remember it these came off the kitfox, or my avid but they should be the same.  I have one that is 8' 11.5" and one that is 9'7"... the new one from Airdale for the wide gear is larger in diameter and is 5' 10" long.

    I can send you the two longer ones that should be the same diameter as yours, and if need be you can shorten one end when you pull yours off and get the length you have on there now.

    You can PM me your address or email me at akflyer_2000@yahoo.com if you want them sent out tomorrow.  Free of charge as they are used.  Priority mail will take 3-4 days to get them to you.

    I will have the wife check and see if I have my originals.  I changed mine when I put the wide gear on but to the best of my knowledge, my originals were OK.  Been a year and a half so let me have her check them out and get a pic for me

    do you have the wide gear or standard?  The wide gear uses longer bungies and gets another wrap.
