I don't know what problems they had or continue to have, nothing has
been printed, published, alluded to or rumoured in regards any trouble they ran into. My point exactly. This was a very large project. You know it and I know it. They had to hand build the first PSRU. They had to have a custom wiring harness made. They had to use a non-stock memcal. They had to fab dozens, if not hundreds, of brackets, mounts, controls and so on. IIRC, you used to be a mechanic in a Soob dealership. In your entire mechanical experience, can you EVER envision a project of that magnitude truly being "trouble-free"? I've been in on a lot of projects much less involved than that, and I can't envision it. Things you never thought of, that never occurred to you, come up and bite you in the butt at places you never envisioned. That's my point. I do not believe that any project like this can be trouble free. Can it be successful? Yes, depending on your criteria. But not trouble free. I do know that many have seen them flying. That fact alone is not enough to convince me that it's trouble free, or even successful. Many BD's flew with the Hirth, and that was neither. Mini 500's flew stock as Dennis sent them out, were they successful (or trouble free)? I'm sorry but I don't understand the "peeing down your neck while saying it's raining" analogy. What does that mean? Then I'll explain it. Don't tell me one thing when you and I both know it's another. I only put the URL for the website up for those interested in the conversion. It appears to be successfull. That's all I'm saying. Appearances can be deceiving and sometimes things can be as they appear. Anytime something is presented as ALL positive with NONE of the negatives displayed, as in this case, my bull**** flag goes up. John Stricker |
