    OK, I have to admit... The reason I saw it was I got my Model C at a GOOD price because all the hangers were broken off the right wing. So when I hear of a good price on an avid/early fox, that's one of the first things I look for. I need to get started on fixing my plane.

    I check probably once a day. I don't say anything because Mom told me if I don't have anything good to say, don't say anything. LOL J/K

    Jim this is happening web wide. We had a very good horse riding forum that tended to be local to Phoenix area. It just withered away and died. IMHO, this trend sucks

    IF it is a short duration voltage spike, you might be able to suppress it some with a low impedance capacitor like a Mylar or something similar. 4.7 µF 50 or 63 volt might work. Put it as close the DC input on the radio as you can. Justathought

    I wonder if the radio shutting off is an over voltage protection. I know nothing about the radio however that over volt could be a very short duration, not long enough to read with a meter for instance. I'm just guessing here, so take this with a grain of salt....

    wow it doesn't look all that wrecked. also the VWs do not like composite props. The impulse loading makes the crank go away. (Mostly because the aviation community is putting the prop on the WRONG end of the engine)

    Well, it's that time of year again. Starting 2023, copperstate is no longer associated with Buckeye Air Fair due to political complications.
    So it's only Buckeye Air Fair this year.

    Jim. I don't think my plane has any of the upgrades you mentioned. I'll try to get a look at it in the next couple days. I know it doesn't have the rudder pedal mods for instance.

    Interesting my model C has a serial number of 997. Not sure how that fits in here?
