Re: a couple printed widgets

a busy printing day..... I don't print many of the 8 mm triple hole spark plug wire grommets, but I printed some today and a lot of other stuff. basically, I come home, print some parts to make money to buy fuel and takeoff again. a truck like this really catches your eye. the juice! https://i.posti...

Re: scrap the RV9A - not yet - but in 20 years - yes

a guy there willfully damaged my airplane. an RV7 owner. a piece of shit. he is on my radar.

when you begin damaging airplanes, it is time to hang it up because your time is coming.

scrap the RV9A - not yet - but in 20 years - yes

when it comes time to stop flying in 20 years, I'll scrap it. such a nice bird and trouble free but too many Trumpsters from Empire (Y87, the RV7 guy) trying to damage it. reducing the value to scrap metal. slide up the ravine...

trying an advertised comatose heat level along with the tabasco base and scorpion. well, the BEWARE sauce taste was very good, and I detected tomato which I liked, but they could bump up the heat level. perhaps a triple comatose? https://i.postimg.cc/qqxDMzq2/IMG20240414100729.jpg https://i.postimg....

Re: what's airborne at 3PM today

what's flying at 9AM EDT on a Sunday morning? RV's amount to 1 percent of these. a big 1 percent. if you remove the 12's you are down to 0.5 percent. that barely registers and from a data perspective is insignificant. perhaps configuring the engine to be close to 99 percent of what's flying would be...

what's flying at 8PM EDT on a Saturday on FlightAware. I am beginning to wonder why RV's rarely fly. if you are flying your RV, most likely you are the only one airborne of that type, except for the RV-12. perhaps folks are under the plane admiring the clean belly or shining the paint. I believe the...

well, the engine needs all of the specified bolts or it is not going to be pretty. I am not sure what you do to mitigate these kinds of risks other than watch the engine overhaul in person. a missing engine bolt is like a ticking time bomb. from what I can see of the accident site, he was an above a...
