Status: offline 		The UPS guy delivered my engine and other goodies at 8:30 PM last night! What's up with that? I thought they only ran overtime during Xmas?

No joy on Little Rock, Dan; at least for me. These hurricanes have done more far-reaching damage than just lives and property. Our state budget is shot; I haven't been able to make any paid overtime in many months, and that was my "play" money. If things don't turn around soon (and there's no way they will; they're just going to get worse), I'll be doing good to get to Crosby. Buying this engine shot my wad, so to speak.

As for weight, my H9 Extra 260 weighed right at 14 pounds with the 1.60 set-up and TNT aluminum gear. I'm not too happy about the added weight, since that will affect its wonderful landing characteristics, but there's no free lunch.

Mounting this thing is going to take some study. Without even measuring yet, I can see that the mount bolts are going to get into the metal angle supports inside the motor box. 10-32 blind nuts are pretty much out of the question.

Got lots to learn, as this is my first gasser. At least Tobe has a clue and can help, so it shouldn't be too ugly...

Status: offline 		Thanks Eddie. It seems like there is more to that site than just email but I can't get there to check it out. Anyway, have you gotten to fly much since the bootcamp?

Status: offline 		I reverted back to my bad luck days last weekend I forgot to hook up an aileron and flew a whole flight wondering why my rolls loked like sh%t. The next flight my spinner came off on the first upline and took out the prop. today my gear got stuck in a hole while taxing and cracked the new prop.

I have gotten in some practice since the bootcamp. Learning the new sequence has taught how much more trimming I still need on the extra. I won't be able to go to the crosby contest since thats the weekend Lisa bought the cruise for, but I should be at the next one in Houston and Lit. Rock.

I haven't been back but I will call Doug and ask him if he has seen it.

OK

I spoke with Steve Reinke from Waco. If we want to have a practice day of flying before the Crosby contest he said I would have to give him some dates and he would run it by his club officers. He didn't see a pprblem with it, We could have a good day of flying on a Saturday and then head home in the evening. What do you all think????? I was thinking about the 3rd weekend of February the 18th .....any comments
