    Not Funny
         
    You may have heard on the news about a Southern California last week a man who was put
    under 72-hour psychiatric observation when it was found he owned 100 guns
    and allegedly had 100,000 rounds of ammunition stored in his home. The house
    also featured a secret escape tunnel.
    By Southern California standards, someone owning 100,000 rounds is considered "mentally unstable."
    In Michigan, he'd be called "The last white guy still living in Detroit."
    In Arizona, he'd be called "an avid gun collector."
    In Arkansas, he'd be called "a novice gun collector."
    In Utah, he'd be called "moderately well prepared," but they'd probably
    reserve judgment until they made sure that he had a corresponding quantity
    of stored food."
    In Kansas, he'd be "A guy down the road you would want to have for a friend."
    In Montana, he'd be called "The neighborhood 'Go-To' guy."
    In Alabama, he'd be called "a likely gubernatorial candidate."
    In Georgia, he'd be called "an eligible bachelor."
    In North Carolina, Virginia, Mississippi, Tennessee, Kentucky and South Carolina he would be called "a deer hunting buddy."
    And in Texas he'd just be "Bubba, who's a little short on ammo."

    I know how you feel.
    Between IVO and Aircraft Spruce, they can make you feel raped, plus freight.

  11. akflyerbob added a post in a topic New Ohio member   

    If I remember, about 6 months ago the guy bent his fus trailering with the fus braced
    and not setting on the tail wheel. Setting on the tail wheel allows the spring to absorb
    some bumps passed from the trailer.
    I trailer mine to the airport every time I fly and the tail spring really gets used.
    Mine is tied down around the wheel/tire and spring. I have a two leaf spring.
    For long distance I would also provide something additional to keep the fus aligned with
    the trailer in case the spring breaks

  21. akflyerbob added a post in a topic rotory valve   

    A while back I read something on the internet where a guy was using this motor
    on a Kitfox or Avid.
    Iv'e been trying to find the site to post it for you but as of now haven't found it.
    I do remember he was using the carbs from the seadoo.
    If I remember, that motor doesn't have a water pump, but uses water pressure from
    the jet unit???

  23. akflyerbob added a post in a topic machining a prov 8 case   

    No snow yet .. still in the high 40's
     
    I used a spare mod 90 case to get the measurements for machining the
    582 snow machine case front to mount the gearbox after threading the 8 holes
    Also, since the snow machine 582 is a single ignition, the rotary oil tube, upper, has 
    to be rerouted to clear the coil mount plate and oil pump.
     
    I'm not sure the hole process is worth it as you have to have the rest of the parts from a
    mod 90/99 to complete the motor anyway

  24. akflyerbob added a post in a topic machining a prov 8 case   

    The front (power end) is not machined to accept the gear box.
    I've done several of these cases to the measurements of an original type 90 case
    and assembled them but have yet to fly one.
