Well it is obvious to even a lowlife like me........ .........Just hold at 64........

I still have real flight 2, I need a better puter to run anything newer. As far as breaking in the engines now or next spring. I always break in my engines in the air. I do one tank on the ground and then go fly. I have a Yellow Aircraft Stingray on the boards right now. This will most likely need a speed control to keep it under 200 mph. I still have not decided between the Wren 44 gold and the Jet Central Bee for power. I also have a Reaction 54 with P70, for making big holes in the sky, it will get a smoke system over the winter. My Giant Stinger with G62 has some issue with the engine, the last time I flew it it suddenly started to run really bad and just barely enough power to make it back to the field. Then I need to pick out a few more projects to get the airplane fleet back to an "acceptable" level. I have 2 helies that both need a major rebuild this winter. I may have to build another new heli to get the fleet size back up. Once these 2 are rebuilt i will still only have 6 ready to fly. That will never do....

As long as the bottle has been indoors, sealed and not exposed to sunlight it should be good for at least 10 years. The manufacturers top off the bottle with dry nitrogen to displace any moisture or oxygen from the fuel. It keeps quite well. Sunlight will break down the nitro and it starts to turn into nitric acid. You also get nitric acid as a component of the exhaust. SO then, What ya buildin????

This just looks like the potential of way to much fun. And weighing just 231 lbs means that there is no license required to use it. http://thekneeslider.com/archives/2011/06/09/hoverbike-the-twin-rotor-bmw-boxer-powered-flying-motorcycle/ -

But some people have so much garbage to dump that I get buried and can't just walk away.

In an AC generator there should not be any stored electricity to worry about unless it is an inverter type, and the inverter type should have circuitry designed in to discharge the capacitors when it is off. Glad you got it working, NOW QUIT BREAKING STUFF!!!

My beard is a winter only thing. Every spring it falls off and ya, you sure do feel naked for a couple of days.

OK another silly question. Is there a reason that you are using #10-24 screws and the need to tap out the holes instead of the metric ones that fit the existing hole?

So I have to ask WHY.

Well what do you like. I can't think of a place where ONLY ice cream falls from the sky, and the only use for the "weather man" is to know what flavor is going to fall tomorrow. But if you find it, let me know, I'll move there also.

Before AND After

Is it even possible to OD on peanut butter cups?????? I don't think so...... We had ZERO monsters come to the door. More PBCs for me.

I start mine as soon as I get it out of the shed and let it run on full choke while I get dressed to ride. 2 minutes max. I then lower the choke till it gets down to around 1500 rpm to get it in gear without the big clunk, then I close the choke back to 3/4 to full depending on how cold it is. I have to be very careful taking off from stops for the first half mile so that it does not stall, after that it runs fine, as soon as the temp gauge starts to move, about 2 miles, I can take the choke off completely and all is good for the rest of trip to work. Yes she is a cold blooded beast, but once she gets warmed up she likes to be ridden.

About to be arrested for driving on the sidewalks "again".

The Man Rules At last a guy has taken the time to write this all down Finally , the guys ' side of the story . ( I must admit, it ' s pretty good.) We always hear " the rules" From the female side..... Now here are the rules from the male side. These are our rules! Please note.. these are all numbered "1 " ON PURPOSE! 1.. Men are NOT mind readers. (FIRST & FOREMOST RULE) 1.. Learn to work the toilet seat. You ' re a big girl. If it ' s up, put it down. We need it up, you need it down.. You don ' t hear us complaining about you leaving it down. 1. Sunday sports, It ' s like the full moon or the changing of the tides. Let it be. 1. Crying is blackmail. 1. Ask for what you want.. Let us be clear on this one: Subtle hints do not work! Strong hints do not work! Obvious hints do not work! Just say it! 1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question. 1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That ' s what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for. 1.Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become Null and void after 7 Days. 1.. If you think you ' re fat, you probably are. Don ' t ask us.. 1.. If something we said can be interpreted two ways and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one 1. You can either ask us to do something Or tell us how you want it done. Not both. If you already know best how to do it , just do it yourself. 1. Whenever possible, Please say whatever you have to say during commercials.. 1. Christopher Columbus did NOT need directions and neither do we. 1. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings. Peach, for example, is a fruit, not A color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is. 1.If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that. 1. If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing," We will act like nothing ' s wrong.. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.. 1. If you ask a question you don ' t want an answer to, Expect an answer you don ' t want to hear. 1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine.... Really .. 1. Don ' t ask us what we ' re thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as Football or Hockey. 1.You have enough clothes. 1.You have too many shoes. 1. I am in shape. Round IS a shape! 1. Thank you for reading this. Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight; But did you know men really don ' t mind that? It ' s kind of like camping.

You have my condolences on having to admit to your advancing age by getting a 2nd gen. But at least it is red. Red gets you 5 MPH back because we all know red is best AND fastest.

Starter Clutch Mod
Flyinfool replied to Dano's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
Snaggles may have had the first starter clutch mod, I think I had the second one. It has been in there a while now and still doing great. -
I DO, I DO shoot them!!! I have one in the freezer so far that I stuck with a pointy stick.

When it is cold out, I have to use about 3/4 choke to keep it running till it gets warmed up good. As it gets colder it is normal to need more choke. At least it always was that way back in the day when cars had a manual choke and on every bike I have ever owned.
