: Funny you should bring that up. This evening on the 6:30 ABC news, Peter
:Jennings' last item was devoted to the ballistic chute. The Cirrus owner
:who lost a wing and deployed his chute over Dallas was interviewed, and his
lane shown, "intact" the owner said, in the bushes near a golf course.

Wow. Losing an aileron and losing a wing are the same thing? I
didn't know. I'll drop a note to Lionel Morrison, he probably doesn't
know either.

Both these guys are classic extremes of how dumb luck can rule!
Blanton survived in spite of himself while Wittman died because of
himself. - Barnyard BOb -

Not so fast, BoOb. Wittman was around 90 when he died. At the time he
covered his aircraft with polyester fabric and used dope to glue and
finish
it, it was a popular thing to do. - jls

GEEZUS!!!!

Yeah, Geezus, I have read all the reports. He was flying back to Oshkosh
in the O&O Special, a kind of super Tailwind if his own design, behind an
O-470 at in excess of 200 mph. Get all your details together, if at all
possible.

IIRC, it wasn't so much his choice of materials as the method he used
to apply them.

The most incredible part of the story is that seperation of the fabric
was noted on the ground at Occala, but he decided to wait to fix it
until after he got to Oshkosh.

Ever wonder why?

Steve Wittman and Dave Blanton both flew auto engines very
successfully for a lot of hours, both being past middle age when they
started with thousands of flight hours. Steve was killed with his much
younger wife behind a Lycoming-although there's no evidence it was
anything to do with the engine, indeed, it's a mystery to this day-and
Dave died of old age. They were both _experimenters_, but safe and
methodical ones, the kind that made aviation in the first place and
then experimental sport aviation possible.

You continue to demonstrate a terminal case of dumb ass.
You wouldn't know "safe and methodical" if it bit you in the butt.
Read the current posts and comments about Blanton and Wittman.

Blanton survived in spite of himself while Wittman died because of
himself. Where do you fit in? Do you possess the genius of these
two men? If so, you have a 50/50 chance of being a fatality.

When all the smoke clears, only a few of the very best auto
conversions will get within spitting distance of the performance
and reliably offered by Lycoming and Continental on an every
day basis. Home brewed auto conversions have been long on
promise and short on delivery since the Ford Model A engine.
Little has occurred since to warrant greater success for the masses.
Especially, today, when aviation insurances companies are loath to
insure auto conversion power in aircraft. Nothing like negative stats
to put the insurance industry in a tailspin. [Pardon the pun.]

As has been already stated, I am not against auto conversions.....
just jerks like you that promote them so ignorantly, wrong headedly
and cavalierly.


Barnyard BOb - experimental builder/pilot before you were born?

Hey BLOb, we are all still waiting for you post some pics of the
homebuilt you bought, read { you did not build yourself} and
supposably fly. Are ya gonna prove you are for real or just a keyboard
pilot. It's an easy thing to do, simply send Jay a few pics to his
alexis park inn site and he will post them. That is if you know how to
use a digital camera. All of us building EXPERIMENTAL planes will
leave you alone to yourself and your handful of supporters. I, for one
am betting there is no plane in your hanger, Please prove me wrong.. I
have to admit you are very well spoken and seem educated, it's just
you are in the wrong newsgroup whinning about HOMEBUILT planes powered
by alternative engines. I got an idea, why don't you take all your
skills and start a rec. aviation. Lycoming group. Ok BLOb, it's your
move...

Yours truly. Ben Haas

Barnyard BOb -

It does look like a nice plane. I do like the striping on it. How
about a pic or two of the current RV-3

BLOB is it?
You never know when to quit do you, Hass-Hole?
Good luck disparaging my 50 years of aviation history/credentials.

Let it be known, you're the dood with squat for accomplishments.
You've yet to earn a place in line to even lick my flight boots!

Anytime you care to go toe to toe.....
Just list your accomplishments to show the troops where I stand
in this aviation barnyard compared to you. WARNING......
Be prepared to be one embarrassed big mouthed sumbitch!

P.S.
I've had your worthless H-ass filtered out for a long time.
If Ron had not replied to you, and you were not good for
another laugh, your pubescent and hypocritical diarrhea
would have been in vain. You and others of your ilk can
double or triple team me here, but you are just doomed
lightweight accidents going somewhere to happen.

I've seen pictures of at least one he built, and I've
seen him fly an RV-3. You I don't know, but I know
Bob. Agree or disagree with him, at least you know
where you stand. I hope to see him in person this
weekend as well, and I'm looking forward to it.

I, for one am betting there is no plane in your
hanger...

Cash on the line, how much? I'll take your bet, here
and now.

The word is spelled "hangar".

Dave "Nauga" Hyde responded:

I'll take some of that action, too. I've seen BOb's RV-3. Well, to be fair
I've seen an RV-3 that BOb flew and *claimed* to own. I've no reason to
doubt the claim, however.
