Anybody still BUILDING anything?

I built an ejection seat for my Fly Baby....


Seriously more details!


Well, it's an "Old Fart" ejection seat. I've got a knee that's gotten so
bad, I was having trouble lifting myself out of the cockpit. I adapted a
portable "Lift Seat" intended for elderly folks. Added a 110V inverter
to power it. Lifts me about eight inches in ~20 seconds. Here's an
animated GIF (that runs fast) showing the amount of lift:

My wife says this looks like "Whack-a-Ron".....

That's the gentlest ejection I've ever seen.
Too cool.

Still working on the P100 (Pegazair).
Slowly.


Well, sounds interesting. More details?

Passed first inspection. Slowed down by partner having 2 knees
replaced and 2 daughters.

The Pegazair is a French Canadian STOL bushplane - all aluminum flying
surfaces, rag and tube fuselage - fabric only from doors back. 150 sq
ft wing, full span flaperons plus automatic slats and inverted flying
tail.
2 seater side by side, 40 inches wide plus bubble doors. Basically a
small Helio Courier.
It will have a 90 HP Corvair on it - direct drive. (140 HP derated)

I miss the days of Chuck, Badwater Bill, Zoom, Juan, Tony, John, John,
the RAH 14. I was mostly a lurker but it was great entertainment.


Glad you didn't mention "Jim" as in Jim W. A consummate asshole, and
apparently the last few years an unreliable businessman. Fortunately the
new editor of Kitplanes, Paul Dye, has added Bob Nuckolls to the list of
writers for things-electrical...maybe booted JW's sorry ass out entirely.

Whoa!

The world must be a-changing.
1. A dog with average IQ wouldn't miss Dr. Zoom Campbell.
2. Never heard a bad word about Mr. Wier or is it Weir, until now.

I did spot Jim W's Cessa on the ramp at LXT a few months ago.
Seems he now is wifeless and has a younger lady friend replacement.

All I can say is...
Mr. W hasn't changed one ****in' biit, attitude wise.
Otherwise, he's showing his share of wear and tear, too.


Cheers.

Nor I, or when I met him.
He is know to be a bit harsh on the passing fool.
Is there a lesson there?

What say you, Mr. Munday?

Been a while hasn't it?



Are you doing any flying?



My trusty ol' RV-3 is about to turn 1000... hours that is.

When that happens, could be that I'll hang it up.



Been flying glass-cockpit 182s for CAP. They're mighty nice. All the IFR stuff is a big change from the stick and rudder stuff I was doing back when.. On the other hand for a few years I was flying a lot more. I'll return to the stick and rudder end eventually. I really ought to stick an engine on the cassutt I bought for a song. I just need an O-200 for a song too. Saw one for sale a week or so ago.

Glad to hear you're still boring holes in the sky. Keep it up.

Didn't know you were doing CAP. I just got a squadron command. Finished
