Bill,

You've been gaining weight if you're at 250 now... Last
time I saw you, you were around 230...

Actually, now that I'm retired and not sitting behind a
desk, I've lost about 15 to 20 pounds. Probably around 285
to 290 now. Sue even commented that my belly is smaller...
plus my pants are so loose that if I loosen my belt they
fall down..

John


I knew a guy that had a good party gag. He had "a bit" of a belly, and any
time he wanted, he could suck his gut in, and, down went....

"Oh, the humanity!"

If that does not work it is listed in the FAA prilim accident reports.

DAMN.

It's kind of like losing a family member, if you
feel like did about my old Fly Baby's demise.

Condolences, Ant Eater.

Hopefully the damage is not beyond repair, the report just says it is
substantial. Maybe it well rise to fly another day.

Bob I saw a couple really nice RV-3s at Arlington.

Yes.... I called the Cascade Airport last night and talked
to someone there. It appears the pilot went off the runway
to the left, applied power to regain control and rolled
inverted landing upside down. Only minor injuries, thank
God, but the airplane has damaged left wingtip, shattered
prop, shattered canopy and damaged vertical Stab. The
airplane was piloted by a friend of the owner.

Obviously the fault of the builder. Bend over and grab your ankles, John.

Damn, Chuck! A 200 inch takeoff? What have you done to the new models, to
be able to do that? ;-o)


200 inches sounds more like one of my special planes,,,,,,

layers embedded in selected
areas to provide a path for the electrical charges.


How many strikes can the mesh layer take before you throw away the plastic
airplane?

That sounds like a Feisler Storch.


They don't have the near-helicopter performance of a Storch, but the
Bearhawk (4 seat) or the Bearhawk Patrol (2 seat tandem) have good STOL
performance, high load carrying capability, and much better top speed.
I was recently given a ride in an O-540 powered Bearhawk and even with
all of the owner's camping gear still in the back the performance was
just amazing.
