Nah, it isn't the weight. It is the less than 5 gallons of "fuel" that is
the problem.

I know that isn't the problem with Oysterhouse. You don't even get ONE
gallon in him before it starts leaking out!

No comment.

Will we be seeing you at P'ville?
Why don't you give BOb U a boost and see if you can succeed where I have
failed and get him to come and perform another muzzleloader miracle. I
think one more and he can be put up for sainthood.

We'll be at Pinckneyville.

Unka Bob is a stubborn old fart and he says he's not going to attend. I
suggest hiring deprogrammers to kidnap and brainwash him.

Tell Unka Bob to get a ferry permit and arrive a couple of days early and we
will get the RV-3 back into annual! :-)

Besides, if he doesn't make it one of these years I am gonna stop stopping
in Kansas when I go west!

Actually, his GROSS weight is still the same. He manages to
get below 254 empty weight because he's full of it :-)

This is not the first time that I've been told that I'm full of it. In
fact I've been tohat so many times that I think there must be something
to it.

Join us when we tell lie.. ah... Flying Stories at Pinckneyville.

Remind me not to let you do the fuel calculations if I'm in the plane...

He must be using fuel with alcohol in it. I hear that's bad for the seals.
