fastrat, that sounds like an "Extreme Speed" (Hydro ) Plane to me...It's got a prop too

18,000 from a Zenoah G26? Wow! What kind of r.p.m. are you getting out of the mod. G62 and with what prop?

Sweet birds John! Its' purty obvious you are a speed nut and are at home in here!

I'll bet that Tracer hauls the mail pretty well---- I recently acquired a Supra Fly-45 and have a modified piped Rossi-60 in 'her and I'll bet she gets near 100MPH it looks alot like the Tracer you have there---

You said 46SX do you mean OS-50SX? If so, that engine is a great runner!

O, what set-up you gonna run in the Patriot XL? I have had SEVERAL 40 sized Pats. but no 60 size

Thanks Razor!

I haven't flown the tracer yet, but it's almost ready for it's maiden. Now the biggest challenge is to get the pilot ready.. Sorry for the confusion, I messed up. I said 46 SX but it is a OS 46 SF. It's an older OS...I knew that it was a S-something, but missed on the last letter... It'll work for now anyway.
I like your patriots Razor! From the talk in the forums, I couldn't help but the get one and join the club! (If this 'un does well, I'm sure a 40 will follow) I have no idea what I'll put in the XL. I don't have anything ready to go into it, so I'll have to buy something. I'd like to have somthing in .75 or .76 range for the first flights, but we'll see.... A Jett might be the answer, it sounds like they to work pretty well, hehehe....

Crazy....I got this V-Twin Cruiser about 6 months ago. It has a shaft drive
not a rubber band drive. It also has a few other features you always wanted
on a Harley, but were afraid to ask....like overhead cams, dual carbs, ceramic
coated cylinders, forged pistons, a one piece automotive crankshaft with
seperate rods sporting automotive plain bearings, massive aluminum wheels
with three disc brakes, mono-shock adjustable rear suspension, self canceling
turn signals, floor boards and forward controls standard....

....those kinds of things.

But the scooters are fun too.

Finally home. Mickey town was fun. Fortunately, It's a Small World was closed for repairs. Hoped to fly today, but the weather's not looking so nice. Thanks for the number Dave. Do we need a "post your bike pics thread", or is that too far off topic?

I'm not saying anything about Dave's prefrence in the ladies but you know what they say about scooters and fat chicks[X(][sm=stupid.gif]

Chuck, are you scooter trash too? I know Gary has one stashed somewhere. My current ride is my first bike I had in high school 73 CB750F 2in1 shorts, Hog wheel, modified sprockets for the quick 1/4. Big fun for a 16yr old in the early 80s (pre crotch rocket days when you had to ride hard to go real fast!). Recently sold an RZ 350 and plan on getting a Speed III soon. Razor rides horses.[:-]

Welcome to the brotherhood guys![sm=bananahead.gif]

Scooter trash? Nope, never owned a "scooter". I started with a Honda CM400T. Rode that for a year and then got an '85 Honda 700 Magna. The Magna was fun, had to change the rear tire after 700 miles, wore a flat spot down to the belts. When I got done with my work in China I bought a '99 Honda 1100 Shadow and a '99 Yamaha YZF600. At that point, the Magna, Shadow, and YZF were all in the garage at the same time. Different bike based on my mood. After the first, and only, ticket on the YZF (85 in a 65 zone), I started liquidating and bought something a bit "tamer", a 2002 Harley Dyna Wideglide. My riding buddy and I were actually quite lucky when we got the tickets, cause at one point on that stretch of highway I was going more than 120. The trooper said he was being "nice" to us and wrote us up for the LOWEST of the 4 speeds he got on radar. Had to go to court and the DA was nice enough to reduce it to 69 so I didn't get hit by insurance points.

Scooters start at 750cc in my neighborhood. That was a name given to me when I was younger by my co-workers. BTW you are scooter trash now too!

hey vicman, you said exactly what I was thinking, except I wasn't gonna say it...

Speaking of scooters, check out this goofball and his moped, air conditioning isn't an option and not necessary. You can get a pretty good breeze at 90 mph....

I plan on using 41 from here on out. When I was the rentahotshoe i didn't care what # it had as long as it would go as fast as I wanted and where I pointed it.

Do scooter trash have training wheels ????
I remember wishing I had a set in turn 4 of MIS a while back! They wouldv'e worked better than worn out pucks![X(]

i found out with my lebaron convertable that after it gets to hot out, it doesnt matter how fast you go, you can do 110 on a 100 degree day and your still soaking wet from the heat , but at least u get there sooner
