  1. Awhile back someone posted where this small borescope (endoscope) could be bought.

    I bought one and it works great, and I want another for a gift but don't, can't, fins the post.

    Can anyone point me to the address?


  2. If you have a bill of sale from the registered owner

    you can do "MAJOR" maintenance and not tell Big Brother a Damn thing

    Register with the same N#

     

    OF the people, by the people and for the people


  3. Flying Wild Alaska was ERA Alaska and is now  Ravin Air and is owned by and operated by all the idiots their talking about.

    They should have known, when you do stupid stuff and put it on TV, your going to get everyone busted, not just you.

     

    And BTW, she is a babbling idiot!

    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."

  5. 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


  6. Looking for an alum coil mounting plate from a 582 used on Kit Fox

    Also looking for an oil pump and RV cover plate some one took off to run mixed gas

    Also looking for an RV oil bottle


  7. Your not getting that old Leni, but memory, not that's something else again ..

    I have bought 2 different sets of wheel/hubs/breaks but from WHO ???

    That's also a memory problem.

    But you did get a set from me, proving your not that old.

  9. 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???


  10. So if your wrapped up in this huge, wet towel,

     

    What color are you now??

  11. 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


  12. 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.
