Chad......You change your mind about an engine again?!?!

[captain_john]

Awwwwww shucks!

BTW, I am SURE that Brit is the best thing that ever happened to him!

...and I only know her from what he tells me about her!

If we don't rib each other what will we do when we go back to the Otter next year?

We'd just have to make up stuff about our hair-raising flying experiences! You know, hanger talk...

Or we could always talk about all the boats for sale in Wisconsin!

At least for all the teasing we give Chad about his many decision changes - aka weathervane- he made one really good choice a very long time ago and stuck with it very wisely.....

Hi Brit!

You know it! That's one thing I'll never change my mind on! I just told her you said hi, she says hi back.

Hi Cathy!

Good man Chad, miss you guys.

It's a shame we're so close, and only see you guys at the flyins...

I ordered the parts the first week of May I recieved them the first week of August. They've been sitting in the shop ever since (they're safe in original packaging) By the time I get the thing built you'll be able to afford it . Just kidding Chad. Every time I walk into the shop I think to myself "You have got to take a week and put that thing together". Finding time has become a goal of mine. Once I finish the canopy I think I'll take a week.



Pretty soon.

[cjensen]

Is this your second engine Jim? Is it an ECi kit? Hmmm...interesting...

[jimpappas]

Hey you two fly up and we'll buy you both a steak dinner!

Cathy says Hi back!

[jim_geo]

Yup it's my second ECI engine. My spare, not really, I'll be selling this one. So you see you could actually buy it. Or not.

[captain_john]

Put one on each wing!

CJ

[cjensen]

How are you getting ECi kits Jim? I thought they were only sold to dealers or approved builders. Scoop?

How much for the kit?

[weezbad]

Well said, Willie Weez!

Just to underscore the way we do business here on RB, we are all friends. Sometimes to the casual observer it may appear that we are flaming people all the time. I assure you, it is all in jest. The humor can sometimes be lost in the text of a message. It can be difficult or impossible sometimes to portray your pun with words.

Chad knows that we are teasing him.

Dontcha Chad!

CJ

no doubt about that. seems much more real over here.

[captain_john]

Yo Dawg... keepin' it real!

CJ

[jim_geo]

Chad, When you're cool ya can get anything ya want.



Just started assembly today. 11/1/07

[captain_john]

Chad, he ain't tellin'!

CJ

[cjensen]

Chad, he ain't tellin'!

CJ

Well, that I knew...I'm just pokin' and prodin'!

I'm cool though...where's my engine?

[jim_geo]

Oh I'm not that mean. I just don't want to quote a price of a kit and not be correct. Call Jesse at Aero 1-800-326-3044 ext.228 talk to him about it. He can give you the specifics about getting yourself a kit engine.

[captain_john]

Chad has already dialed the number!

Chad, let us know what you find out!

CJ

[rv6ejguy]

In fact, amazingly enough, it looks somewhat like a legitimate air cooled aircraft engine.

I dunno, it looks an aweful lot like a Subaru or VW aircooled engine to me

Can't be a Sube as it only has 3 main bearings- Sube has 5 on a four banger. No crankpin overlap either so a loooong stroke too. Looks suspiciously like a Textron product or clone.

Chad, just get a 360, you're killing us all here.

Flying alone just isn't that much fun all the time.

[cjensen]

I've been waiting for your post on this thread Ross! There are a couple others that haven't chimed in yet either...where you at guys?

Kidding, of course!

I'll let you all know when I order my finish kit next week, what engine mount I ordered, or didn't...
