RE: 33cc homelite

Thanks for the info Hooker and DW.

RE: 33cc homelite

RE: 33cc homelite

RE: 33cc homelite

Thanks Barry_G for the good input.[sm=thumbup.gif]

I had'nt thought of that, it makes perfect sense. If I have the tank out again I'll try to remove that little metal wafer. That way I can go...

RE: 33cc homelite

Thanks, Jim.

This morning I took some high altitude pictures. That big wing on the Stinson really helps in keeping the plane in sight. After take-off I would get as much altitude as I could then...

RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: 33cc homelite

RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: 33cc homelite
