Better than a casket, doofus. This is true. But face it Bob. Your constant head butting with everyone else, your lack of rationality and your refusal to acknowledge the validity of anybody elses thinking whatsoever is a pretty clear indication that you're at least partially brain dead. If you've got a reasoned argument to present, then present it as best you can and accept equally reasoned counter-arguments, but this nonsensical "I'm an old fart! I've seen it all! I know everything! Nobody else knows ****!" attitude of yours is worth nothing. It's gotten so old that few are likely to listen to a word you have to say when it is worthwhile. That's a shame, because you've got a LOT of experience that would be worthwhile to share. On the other hand, I guess I can just throw you back in the kill file for another six months like most folks.

I'd really like to see an objective, factual discussion of the issue, but this ain't either. -Dan |

That's a shame, because you've got a LOT of experience that would be worthwhile to share. I know the "reasoned" arguments.... and so does the silent majority here. BUT -- it's like arguing religion and expecting to change someone's mind. Naturally, passion will take its toll. IMO, the majority is not only silent on the discussion of auto conversions.... but exceedingly smart. They don't have to take **** from the RAH peanut gallery. Anywhoooo -- As I see it, those that are hellbent on installing auto conversions are usually the least equipped to succeed for myriad reasons. If I ruffle their feathers... **** 'em. They are lost souls anyway. Poking at them is a measure of entertainment before they fade away. On the other hand, I guess I can just throw you back in the kill file for another six months like most folks. M Your message here reminds me of what a great pleasure it is to be in your kill fill. Please return me to it ASAP. Barnyard BOb -- 50 years of flight |

I'd really like to see an objective, factual discussion of the issue, but this ain't either. -Dan +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Let's get something straight, Dan. I'm NOT anti auto conversion. I am a fine candidate for doing an auto conversion. Why? Because I UNDERSTAND WHAT THE **** IS GOING ON - have the requisite skills and experience as pilot, builder, mechanic and attitude to approach such a project with a reasonable chance of success; plus having contacts that can solve problem I can't. What I lack is drive, energy and commitment at this stage of life. Plain talk - I'm getting old and tired. I've had my day in the sun. No brag, just fact. You want factual discussions, YOU start the ball rolling. Don't tell anyone what THEY need to do or how to act. In closing... I'll never support RAH as an auto conversion forum for wannabees in search of a "feel good" chat room. AND, for those that desire serious stuff on conversions, there are groups dedicated to the task. Serious info and advice exists there, not here. So, guys like you, Dan... best move on to where birds of a feather definitely exist. Barnyard BOb -- 50 years of flight. |

"Treefrog" wrote in message ... "Barnyard BOb --" wrote in message ... What's so funny about a Soob in a plane? I don't know. What? I do know.... the last Soob powered local plane crashed, burned and the pilot became another fatality statistic off the end of runway. Maiden flight Propulsion issues. I don't know what kind of crap you get sold in the states but over here (UK), the standard 2.0l turbo Subaru engine kicks out 208Bhp and is very very very very very reliable. You could prop hang an ultralight with that much power! I am as much pro auto conversion as any person in this group. You are DREAMING if you think you can rate a 2 liter Soob for 208 HP continuous output. You are running how many RPM, and how many inches boost to get that figure? No sane person would run a motor that hard, and depend on it for hour after hour. Give me the figures. RPM and amount of boost. -- Jim in NC |

What's the point of having this forum, if for not sharing serious info and advice? On conversions or any other facet of homebuilding? Did I miss something? Is this a private party? An entertainment center for surly curmudgeons? It is indeed an entertainment center for at least one surly curmudgeon. Could be more. Not my job to count. Tell you what, BOb. I've never met you in person, so I don't know what you're *really* like. From the way you talk/write, you make it sound like you're as old as my dad, so in my book you automatically get a certain amount of respect credited to your account. But you sure seem to use up that kind of credit fast. 1. I might be older than your dad. 2 If you want to show some respect as a noble gesture, do it. If your intention is to meter the amount, cut me off now. 3. Either way, I'm gonna continue to do what I've been doing way before you showed up here to set your righteous path. For the record, I've gotten serious responses to my questions, and I try to give serious responses where I think I can be helpful. And I've even given serious answers. So what? Seems there is a small number of newbies here that just gotta pick at every generality that I utter at every turn. You'll never see the forest fer the trees that a way. And I'll let you know when I get that Harley motor flying. :-) Be sure to lemme know when you scare the crap out yourself as well.... and the number of times per flying hour. I'd like to keep stats on how many off field landings you must endure before you get your head right. g Harley motors suck on Harleys. Ford V-6 motors suck in Fords. How could they be any worse as conversions. Barnyard BOb -- |
