Default Tamjet Retracts and Pipe for Flash

Almost done with my Flash with Tam's Pipe and Retracts. The pipe saves about 6 ounces of tail weight helping the nose weight issue with this model.

Here is the nose gear. This is the retract unit Tam uses in his Hornet. The pull-pull wires do not loosen when the gear is retracted...very nice not having to deal with wires catching the nose wheel.

Hi Dave and Russ,

It sounds like your starting your own flasher's (Flash) club is Carlos the only one not getting one.

P.S Russ have you been able to talk to Bob Wilcox about upgrading my P-120
Dave good luck with the tonsils I'm feeling very sore to day after my hernia op yesterday so i can sympathise.[:-][:-][:-]

Cheers

Dave,

Your P-120 is upgradable. I will send it in as soon as I get back from vacation. By the way, you are going to love your A-4. Tam and I just love flying the A-4. Everytime we go out, it gets the most flights!

Yup,
When you get here. You will see Barry hanging out late with us drinking green bottles.
BTW, Carlos still at the shop and left there at midnight. The wife call me at 9pm and I told her I'll be home in 15 min.[]

Dave,
There is a good reason not for me to post your A-4 on the web. You will never see it when you get here...
Everything forsale babe.....

Russ, what about the 36 hour bender on your Blue Angel. Then the 5pm test fly at Tomcats and thats not all remember California Jets " I think I might do a inverted pass" "don't you think maybe a little bit more stick time would be best first"
From right to left the length of the runway at Button willow a Tamjet F-18 Superhornet in the colours of a Blue Angel inverted with Russ at the sticks.

Hurry up alright, just can't wait

Cheers
