(Mini-500)I want to build the most EVIL plane EVER !!!
"Smitty Two" wrote By whose authority do you speak for everyone else in the group? Whatever, smitty two. You need to take yourself and me a bit less seriously. I do. I have a hard time taking any nameless person seriously, anyway. Far as I am concerned, you are just another nameless, paranoid little person with something to hide, or some other personality issues. Oh, by the way, on what authority do you speak for me, and the rest of the group, with this quote? Sarcasm, rudeness, disrespect, arrogance, snottiness, and all the other exhibits of hostility that permeate both sides of this discussion - and so many others here - may bring self-righteous snickers to the like-minded, but do *nothing* to persuade your opponents or the neutral lurkers. Self-righteous snickers to the like-minded? Seems like you are speaking for the group, here. .....do *nothing* to persuade your opponents or the neutral lurkers? By what right do you stipulate the state of mind and reaction, of the group? Pot kettle black, and plonk. -- Jim in NC |

You are totally missing the extreme emotions associated with this issue. People have had friend's lives snuffed out, in their eyes, due to this man's kit. There is no logic that can be associated in this discussion, and nobody involved really gives a sh*t whether you or others have a warm fuzzy feeling about the thread. Get it? Come on, Morgans !!! I'm ultra logical about discussing the Mini-500. If you don't believe it, just axe me. ;-) In fact, I have even observed one that flew over 100 hours before a bearing froze.. knocking it out of the sky. It was just dumb luck and a measure of skill that saved the pilot from serious injury or possible death, IMO. No B.S. This incident took place at Grain Valley Airport umpteen years ago. The pilot never ever again took a Mini-500 on another cross country... or out of hover. I'm dyin' if I'm lyin'. - Barnyard BOb - |

Dennis will surely pop up and defend his fabulous flying machine, now! You really need to keep up. Throw the salt on the wounds (or bearings) in a more timely manner, almost real time, even. Now we have to hear it all again! g The only possible good that could come out of this, is that bAdWaTeR BiLL might come out of his hole and take a couple shots. I might almost pay money for that! ;-) The only thing that could have saved the mini, is if it had been powered by Corvair. It would have been a great machine, then.

The only thing that could have saved the mini, is if it had been powered by Corvair. It would have been a great machine, then. Interesting that you mention a Corvair. I used to work with an ex-Army guy that bought a complete (-engine) Korean-era Bell helicopter in a crates, packed for long-term storage. He wasn't a pilot, but was a pretty good mechanic. He built the helicopter, took a lesson, put on a football helmet, and then crashed it in the trees. He's lucky he didn't kill himself. |

"john smith" wrote I'll take a guess... "UNSAFE AT ANY SPEED", by Ralph Nader I knew that was coming. What people do not widely know, is that he printed a retraction, saying that the problems were fixed, '63 and later. It had to do with the fact that the rear axles only had one U-joint, at the transaxle. After they put in two per side, and made the wheels travel straight up and down, they were fine. Bonus points. What rear engine air cooled engine car never put the two extra U-joints per side in, and in some parts of the world, are still produced that way? -- Jim in NC |
