You might be a Gasser Pilot if:
 
1: Your wallet is bigger then your brain!

2: You love the smell of Hi-test in the morning!

3: Bigger is always better!

4: If the engine is louder then the prop, it's not big enough!

5: A power to weight ratio of 2:1 is "Just about enough" !

6: You are alergic to "slime" on your planes!

7: Can't remember when you last bought Windex!

8: Any prop smaller then 20" is for mixing epoxy!

9: Your servo investment exceeds the GNP!

10: You send the 'Ole lady shopping before the UPS guy gets to the house!

11: There is a trailer in the yard & a power cord running to it!

12: You own stock in AMZOIL, & they ask you for product reviews!

13: Well, you get the idea.

14. At one point you used to start up you leaf blower/weed eater and it reminded you of yard work, but now you start it up and the first thing you think about is who makes a coversion kit for it so you can mount it in a plane.

15. You also start your weed eater/blower so you get that gas/oil smell because you took all of your batteries out of your planes

16. You have the "best running/throttle response/most powerful/best tuned" leaf blowers and weed whackers in the neighborhood.

17. Your non RC buddies ask if you have any small planes and you show them your 27%

18. You've learned to block out the glow guys whinning because they forgot to charge their ignitor.
19. You have to put your plane together sideways to have it fit in the garage.
20. You can lay down under the wing for shade.

21. Now all the gas you mix will run all your leaf blowers/weed eaters/lawn mowers/DA's/ZDZ's/Zenoahs/etc......................1 mix for all:D

22. You justify buying a bigger truck to haul your planes to the field, by telling your wife that you plan to remodel the basement, and you'll need the 8' bed to haul sheetrock and 2x4s.:D

fasterthanlife 01-05-2006 07:09 PM

RE: You might be a Gasser Pilot if:
 
You hear a leaf blower fire up down the street, and you go running to see which neighborhood started flying gassers:eek:

When you upgrade your plane you have to buy a new car.

You buy cars based on your airplanes need not yours.

Your always sunburned because you can't fit under the canopy with your airplanes.

Your gasser's prop cost more then your trainer did.

Can no longer hide the new project from your wife because it sits in the dining room. And livining room. And bedroom.

You justify a $1,100 motor buy telling your wife that it burns fuel that only costs $3.00/gallon. Instead of that horibly expensinve glow stuff that costs $19.00/ gallon.

When you find your self building a plane that will not fit through your average door!
and
When you fire up the weed eater on a rainy day because you miss flying!

You get funny looks when you pull in to the gas station in your oversized SUV and tell the cashier you want to pump 3 bucks.

You can hold $600 in servos in one hand.
You have a dedicated tow vehicle for your trailer. (The only reason I drive my Pathfinder is to tow my trailer to the flying field. It stays hooked up all the time.)

You might be a gasser pilot when....The chain you use to pull your 4X4 out of the ditch in the winter is the same chain you use to anchor the tail of your plane when starting it.

AJF--2 01-06-2006 12:08 PM

RE: You might be a Gasser Pilot if:
 
When you pump $25.00 of 87 octane for the SUV and trailer-- and then you pump $3.00 of 93 octane.

Also, if the clerk asks you why your gas can with all of the wires, tubes, and battery looks like a bomb.

You might be a gasser pilot if...you had beans for breakfast.

...The planes suspended from the ceiling of your garage are more valuable than the cars parked beneath them.

You might be if ::::: You taxi your 2 year old around the yard on Sunday afternoons,,
::::: THe Federal goverment/IRS has been trying to get you to pay tax on your plane for 2 years,,
::::: At the end of the month when you get your gas card bill from Exxon you find out you bought
more gas for your airplane than your suburban.
::::: IF you hang around with AJF--2 or andyt :D:D:D

RE: You might be a Gasser Pilot if:
 
If you build a $50,000 garage because the planes are too big for the house.

I am helping a freind build it right now!

You must have a small hand, 1200.00 in one hand is easy.:D
