    If you go to youtube and search for "SAE Aero Design" there are lots of vids from previous years, I did not see any up from this year yet. I'm sure it is just a matter of time, Many teams drove long distances to the event and are just getting home.

    :sign yeah that: That extra wheel looks more like a crutch for someone that has to big of an ego to go to a parking lot and learn slow speed handling.

    Ummm.... Not very good. The weather was terrible. It was ungodly hot, in the upper 80's, I almost died from the heat. The wind was 20 gusting to 30 and it was a cross wind to the runway. The teams design could not handle the crosswind and the landing gear collapsed to the side after about the first 10 feet of takeoff roll, causing major structural damage. So it never did fly. Of the 65 teams from around the world that were there, by the end of Sunday there were only about a dozen flyable aircraft left. Lots of carnage, great fun.

    I just got home from TX a couple of hours ago. It was hotter than sin, never so much as a cloud in the sky, I had go sit in a car with the AC on to avoid heat stroke. I'm glad to be home. You folks down south can keep your dry heat, I'd rather have more snow. Have fun Bob...

    And I just got back home from there an hour ago. I had some time to kill in fort worth this morning/ early afternoon. I did see a silver star on 121 with 2 up, both with full face helmets.

    Oh man, the weather looks to be crazy this weekend. Highs in the 80s with a stiff breeze. I thought it was HOT out here today when it hit 60. The wind will help the planes get up in the required 200 feet but if there is any turbulance with that wind it may tear some planes apart. Should be an interesting weekend. Just in case there is any one here that wants to come and watch the carnage, the flying field is; Thunderbird Field, Lake Benbrook, 9733 MARYVILLE LN, FORT WORTH, TX, 76036 My flight down there leaves in a couple of hours.

    Beer is bad. I would need to call the meat wagon before I had the first one down.

    NO NO you don't get it. If it all boils away then it is just gone....... Trust me........

    Always trust your guberment orificials. There is no guberment that would lie to there people is there? Don't have to worry about all of the contaminated sea water, it is getting boiled into steam so it just gone....... OOpie, Is this thread getting political?

    Your right, it don't count. Besides there is no you in the pic.

    #5 the person to the right is the westbound person. so they have the correct answer listed. #11 I missed the Ceckerd sign since there is no such sign in the USA that I have ever heard of or seen. #17 I think has a typo in answer B, I think they meant to put in the word "trailer" where they have the word "cab". Then their answer makes sense. As shown B and C are equal and either is equally correct. Unless of course up in Canada all of the semis drive backwards on the highways.....

    Regardless of which of these types you have you will need a relay. 1. YES 2. The standard 30amp that is available in every auto store should work fine. 3. Yes but it is unlikely that you will be drawing more than the standard 30A relay. 4. It does not matter if the relay is in the power wire or the ground wire, but it is preferred in the power wire. 5. It does not mater if the relay is close to the load or the battery. The first thing you need to do is to figure out what kind of system those horns use. There are electric horns that look like air horns. There are air horns that use a small on demand type compressor. There are air horns that use a compressor to fill an air tank and it is the stored pressure that blows the horns. The short version is that a relay is like a remote switch to be able to switch big currents by using a smaller switch like what is already on your horn circuit on the bike.

    I'm getting closer. All that is left for this setup is to mill the one last flat to the HEX part. It is hard to see in the pics, but there is just .030 left to take off on that last flat till it is done. This has made a huge pile of chips. 3/4 Of that steel bar has been turned into chips already. The next step is to slice this bar up to the required thickness and machine in the ramp on each side. Then heat treat. I'm still planning to get 20 tools out of this bar.

    I just finally bought a digital camera last night, so there may be another country heard from in the not to distant future.

    I guess I was remembering the good old days when CB was king. Thinking that it would be good while in a group ride or keeping tabs on traffic ahead.

    On the news last night they were talking about rolling blackout due to insufficient power with those nuke plants down.

    I have an '88, 1st gen Venture standard. It did not come from yamy with any sound system. The PO installed a car stereo in the left side of the faring. It is one of the old fashioned ones that mounts in a a rectangular hole with a shaft hole on each side. OK, that is where I am starting from. None of the wiring is present to install the factory stereo and CB. What would be a good CB to put on a bike and where would be a good place to mount it? I am sure that at some point it will get rained on. I would like to be able to adjust the controls while riding. I am not totally opposed to replacing the current stereo as part of this. I'm wide open for ideas.

    Nice fish. Better hurry home so that you do not have to defrost it before supper.
