Jim, sorry about the plane i know just how you feel...i was sooo close myself to being finished, in more ways that one. But as others have said and you have allude to...there are more important things to do. I am glad to hear you are out of surgery and doing well. Sounds like you can possibly get ba...

NO, i have not, i am a bit scared of flying due to having lived through the collapsed lung..a bleb (a bleb is a collection of air within the layers of the visceral pleura. ) can rupture in an unpressurized cabin and cause major trouble. i doubt seriously that would happen bit i dont know how much i ...

I'm with Spike in that I can account for every expense down to the last penny. 'Course, I account for pretty much every penny we spend on everything. :wink: I have a five or six page spreadsheet that I've built up to account for everything I've spent, and project what I will spend in the end. I loo...

lookin good man. keep pluggin.

holy crap thats alot of steak. i could feed a small country with that.

the cleveland tool looks fool proof but it is not. it likes to walk off of the material really screwing things up. so make sure you apply pressure to keep the flanged bearing in contact with the edge. good luck.

very few edges actually need rolling. but it doesnt hurt. i didnt do mine and they layed perfectly flat as did all of the other skins. i did roll the tail feathers however.

Willie, How ya doin? You plane looks great! I heard through the grapevine that the engine has run. John Will make it nice. John has talked about coming down to see you with it when it's done. I would like to join him if I can. :idea: CJ CJ, im doing pretty good all things considered. Ive been reduc...

they make a special tool for it but you can drill them out with high speed-low pressure. the trick is low pressure. to much pressure and the rivet will spin creating a difficult removal.

good luck.

i like your math better. :) when the interest rates dropped about 6-7 years ago i took a 30 year note refinanced it and went 15 years on it. It only increased it 100 a month. i think it is @ 5.5 now so i dont see another break any time soon. Having trimmed 15 years off of my mortgage is quite satisf...

if you can afford that then go for it . your payment should come in around 3500-4000 a month.

Hey, that was the first RV i flew in . James is an excellent pilot and a super nice guy. His partner in the flying is a gal by the name of Patty, she built the plane after buying it partially completed. the second plane i rode in is in there as well, Belongs to Ken Harill. (white grey and burgundy) ...

Guys plane beats the numbers because the paint is so slick......
