Need Micro Balancer

"Jim" wrote in message ...
I am looking for a Micro balancer for my Mini-500. While it is very smooth
in most conditions I wil want to use a micro balancer in the future as
future preventive maintenance will tend to cause changes to current
settings. Must be a 100 or so out there now with no use because most
Mini-500 owners retained their Micro balancers instead of conveying them
to
the new owners.

Thanks,
Jim

Ah yes, and spoken by a pear-shaped farm animal who owns an aircraft that
does what neither the Mini-500 or BD-5 can do, fold its wings, in flight.
And he bought it _after_ he knew it did that. Does that qualify you for the
Dumb**** Award or what?

Sounds like you're too friggin' scared to fly a BD-5...
or too damn smart, incompetent or just plain cowardly.
Any of the above still specifically points to one thing...
You're a loud mouth wannabee.

FWIW....
I've flown 473 of the 653 hours on my RV-3.
Wings are doing fine up to 4.5 G @ 1100 lbs.
Care to tell us what you have flown a BD-5 to?

P.S.
Since your so GD stupid/ignorant, Jaun...
One can yank the wings off most any airplane.
Especially the slick ones, teaching oneself aerobatics
and in a homebuilt that was not built to specifications.

Anyhow, there are those that just talk and then
there are those that walk their talk. It's no secret
which camp Juan is in. He calls it journalism...
I call it pure unadulterated Zoomer bull****.

Oooo, I'm so impressed by this two-bit comeback, particularly since I
already scheduled the high perf training as well as the DAR's time for the
inspection.

Putz. Go back under your rock and your folding-wing bird.

BTW, B-o-b, what have you done lately of truly important significance to
your country with the RV-3?

I'll tell you what I've done lately... I designed and coordinated the
complete electrical and panel/avionics upgrades of three BD-5J Microjets
that are used to train our military how to protect America by finding and
intercepting cruise missiles fired by hostile forces, terrorist or not. The
three aircraft can now do day or night VFR and minimal IFR down to ground
level to run the mission profiles required to train our military pilots. Two
of them are equipped with synthetic vision EFIS, advanced engine and systems
monitoring, full digital AHRS and other features that allow it to perform
its mission with a margin of safety sufficient to do the job and then some.
The third is ready to be EFIS/EAU upgraded as soon as the mission
requirements demand it.

At 50 ft off the ground and 250 knots, the BD-5J is so invisible to radar
that a tracking transmitter must be installed so the mission controllers can
see it.

At 50 ft, do people even care if _you_ are flying?

Oh, so now you're telling people I'm lying? Looking to get your pecker
stomped one once again? No problem!

Ask Bobby Bishop who designed the upgrades, new panels, coordinated the work
and ran down the required hardware, down to the batteries. His email is


And here, have fun looking at pics of a real airplane. chuckle

You have to be kidding.

Nope, not kidding at all. This was in fact determined years ago when the
aircraft was put on a pedestal in a large chamber where the govt measures
radar returns. I have no clue how the measurements are made, but that's the
reason the -5J has been designated as a certified cruise missile surrogate.

I'm RETIRED, stupid.
Get a clue what that means.

Before I retired, I gave over 10 years to military service
in Air National Guard, USAF and National Guard, although
I had a legitimate deferment as an aerial applicator.

For you information, what that means is my services
as a crop duster were more important to the nation
than being a foot soldier or whatever... but, I chose
to do BOTH services to my country over a 20 year span.

How much military time have you rendered to the USA?
The way you mouth off, I suspect you are a draft dodger.

At 50 ft off the ground and 250 knots, the BD-5J is so invisible to radar

So was my Stearman, Ag Cat, & Pawnee with_ME_at the controls.

When_YOU_ fly that BD-5J... then you come talk to me.
Until then, you remain a loudmouth pilot WANNABEE.

At 50 ft, do people even care if _you_ are flying?

Absolutely.
They PAID me well for that kind of flying...
But it had to be FAR LESS than 50 feet.

I have MANY THOUSANDS of hours *BELOW 10 feet*....
satisfying the needs of our nation's farmers and consumers.
It's called crop dusting you clueless, dim bulb.

Next time, engage your brain before putting mouth into gear.
Or, just quit smearing the folks that are your bettors.
