I finished the home made rear facing vent for the 56, future ones will be slightly taller as this one just clears the reinforcing rib beside it. Larger engine will require even taller ones. Living and learning. It's a shame it's lightly discolored, I bought it from a retired Dentist in Maine, the box got damp in his basement, the innards are perfect.
I have one of those 110 Rascals I haven't even started on.

Is everyone's club alive and well? Our club is like a graveyard. Went out there this evening, nobody around so I flew for a couple of hours and listened to cars go by. Nobody stopped by. Pretty boring, might as well have stayed home and flown in the pasture. I guess it's time to find another club.

Yes are club is boring too
we used to have a couple nights that guys would come out on a regular bases. But now with the electric retired guys they fly when ever the weather is just so and usually never after five.

You can get a 4*120. Modestly priced, servos are a little better than standard which are modestly priced, Saito 180 runs awesome without CH ignition, so you might have 300 bucks in the airplane not too shabby

No, I mean like a Premenopausal, Suicidal, struggle to get the gun from her hand kinda thing. I fear to think how bad that could have turned out. That was almost 20 yrs ago. All good now.....well, not really but that's another story.
