  1. Thanks for the offer and the link.  I have downloaded the PDFs and made my own book.  BTW, if you have it in the PDF format, you can hit control F type in whatever you are seaching for and it will find the related words.  I use this feature ALOT in dealing with code books and code question.  Real nice quick reference tool!


  2. Last ones for now.  The metal trailing edge was added and all flaperon hanger rib tails and cap strips were replaced.  The wings are rib stiched for that extra piece of mind when flying though turbulent mountain passes.

  4. and a few shots of the various stages of the re-build.

    The red lines indicate the welds on the two sections of the upper longerons that were bent when the previous owner put her on her back.

  5. Well due to the new site software, I guess I will start all over with this one.  I picked up a basket case the last week of September 06 and now have it about 90% re-built.  The fuse and right wing are ready to go and the left wing should hopefully be completed by the middle of June.. looking for a test flight date of around the 22nd or 23rd if all goes well.

  6. For those who are lurking and not posting for fear that you may be banned from the other site, I think I can safely say that the automatic banning of anyone who posted over here is over with.  The new mods over on the list have much cooler heads and have actually been very helpful in the last week or so.  My hats off to Guy and Mike :beerchug:


  7. OK steve, I figured it out.. It was a permisions box I had to check.. I would have thought that a global mod would have automatically had all the permisions, atleast all of those that a regular member has... I guess that just proves what happens when you ASSume something


  8. Steve,

    do you see the additional options in blue below and on the left side of the text box?  I can, and when you click that it opens the attachment option.

    Let me know if this works for you or if I need to reset your user ID

  9. Rules here are simple.. Just about anything is open to discussion and anything goes.  If you act like a jackass be prepared to be called one (or worse).  There will be very little if any moderating in this forum so don't post up anything you don't really mean (at least at the time you wrote it anyway).  My sense of humour covers a very broad spectrum and most things I may post in here are to be taken with a grain of salt and light heartedly.  If you feel you are being picked on or have heartburn over something posted in here don't hesitate to contact me, but remember, no one is holding a gun to your head making you come here and read the posts in the first place, so it better be something VERY distasteful to get me involved in it.

  10. I can think of alot of really bad things to call you right now... I would cut off my left nut with a rusty butter knife to take a spin in a stearman.. I have a good buddy that swears he will buy one before he dies... I hope he hurries up!


  11. I am trying to get all the old posts back, but it may turn into a futile effort... I really hope I can get them back as Steve did make some very eye opening posts that, when one took the time to read up on, actually made sense!  When looked upon with a fresh view, he has VERY valid arguments that he won with the local FAA.... Keep posting up the interesting tidbits so we have something to dwell on for a bit!


  12. She looks too clean... Bring it up here and we can dirty it up for ya lol...Hit a few nice fishing holes I know of and it will knock the white down do a nice tan color.  Does not blind you quite as bad in the sun.  I wish I had the 912 in mine.. I will make do with the 582 for now.


  13. I am still working with the hosting company to try and retrieve all that was lost... The changeover did not go as I had planned...But now we can put attachments right in the post lol...

    I will have the good smilies up tomorrow..  And for those who have issues, there is now a spell check to help you out.


  14. OK here we go again... the only rules for the general forum are that we dont bash another member or that members plane or project.  We are here to have fun so lets do so!  You can post up anything on just about anysubject you want... Fluff is welcome as is any fun flying stories or drunken bar brawls.  The purpose of this forum is to build a community where we can ENJOY ourselves, BE ourselves, and share knowledge.

    Post away and most of all have fun.
