Karl, Im not an engineer but I fly off a grass strip thats not so smooth and I guess my bird is still strong. Maybe thats why the tank was stressed but until now my Tri-Gear has been great on all the
This thread is funny as I have just finished constructing 850 feet that eventually will connect to my friends runway of 3600 feet. For now he has a 900 foot patch of dirt between us that need final g
Hi All, Can anyone shed some light on why the front two plugs are black yet the back plugs are light brown as they should be? There was another guy flying a Sting with a 912 and he's has the same thi
Craig, All my cylinders are running within about 10 to 15 degrees of each other as I now have a shroud over the engine with a 2.5" hose cooling all the fins evenly.
Mike, Take my word for it... Block it off. All of it! If I had mine to do over I'd cut the whole dog box off and re-do the intake. Just cant talk myself into a cowl re-paint in the middle of the flyi
Craig, Now that I'm use to flying / Taxing my tri-gear I have trouble even thinking of foot brakes. You will get use to anything in a while and this is no exception. I can run my brakes and run the t
Hi All, I just finished a few days back balancing my carbs with the new Carb Mate the the Rotax Owners had on video not too long ago. Just want to say it was much easier than I thought it would be an
Hi All, I flew to breakfast at Winchester Tennessee BGF and sat down to eat. About 10 minutes into the conversation with the people I happened to set across from I realized that I was talking to Mike
Bud, I have a room booked and my wife can't come so let me know if you want the other bed. If you don't snore and you drink beer we should be good. Jeff R. A258 - N128LJ / Gold Rush 195 Hours and coo
After I talked to Sandy Loehle (Mikes wife) I had it all wrong. As the coincidence has it the Louisville EAA meeting he was going to address is at Rough River. So the Louisville EAA chapter is meetin
I agree. One of my wife's Poodles had another litter of Goldendoodles so she has to keep the bottles flowing to keep all 12 alive. I like miller light but beggers cant be choosey. Bring a few cases a
Remi, If or when we get another hot day I will give this a whirl and record the numbers for all. Maybe at Rough River if it's nice. Best, Jeff R. A258 - N128LJ / Gold Rush
Please let the rest of the group know when the cause of this tragic accident is confirmed. My sincere condolences to the families. Jeff R. A258 - N128LJ / Gold Rush... Wishing for an improved forecas
Bob and all, We are in the same boat... literally. We've had 4 inches of rain in the last 24 hours and more to come all weekend. I believe we're the closest to Rough River and this front isn't going
Jeff, After using K38 (PPG) high build primer and blocking down several times I then used Sherwin Williams Geniuses automotive finish. One coat then one wet coat and that was it. Looks good. However,
At this point my plans are to drive up Saturday AM. I don't know who all is driving in or attempting flying in. If we could change things for better flying weather I would vote for that but it may be
Jim, I will see you all tomorrow. If the weather clears down here (Not in the forcast) I will fly in. If not I'm driving up so I wouldn't get there till the afternoon. I will also bring wine & beer.
Jim & All, It just seems like this wasn't meant to happen for me either. My wife came home from watching out grandkids the other day not feeling well. She's fine now but last night it started on me.
Jim, I sent this once earlier but it didn't go thru. My pictures we're too large I think. Anyway... Weather improved here and it looked like I may be able to scoot up before the afternoon rains start
Frans, It's been 4 years since I did this but I remember having the same problem. It all boiled down to the condition of the cylinders as you mentioned. I remember taking the thing apart completely a
