My wife and I are spending five nights in Seattle between July 4th and July
8th (leaving Saturday, July 9th).  Since we're driving in on the fourth, we
basically have the 5th through the 8th as full days to explore.  We have to
spend one day on the Olympic Penninsula (fond ...

I have a couple of radios that are excess to my current needs, but I really
don't want to sell them.  It's the old "Why didn't I keep those around.  Now

My Jurca Sirocco has so little baggage space, that it really needs
some extra room. I'd like to make a bomb-shaped belly pod, and have

S-1 guys welding two spinners together, back to back, but that doesn't

Well, I sold my big, custom-made bellhousing to another builder that
wanted to get that radial look out of a rotary engine.  That 21 pound

The Geo/Suzuki one litre engine weighs a little more than a Rotax

My old C-85 has a Bendix Stromberg NA-S3A1, which is leaking for a time
after shutdown.
Previous owner of the plane had tied off the mixture control so shutdown is
by reduced throttle and magnetos turned off.

Sometime last year one of the posters on here was moaning about the
length of time that a Druine Turbulent takes to build, and that he
wasnt even going to start.
I looked at the post and thought, damn if that isnt exactly what I'm

Gleaned from the CPA ATIS 8.24:
THE PRICE OF MOGAS IN CALIFORNIA. . .
   I've been touring California for the past week and was amazed to find
Mogas in Modesto for $2.29/gal. I'm told it's the only place in

The engine that powered an u/l made in the 80's(?). Was supposed to be 25

sold or did the whole project disappear?  Thanks Pat
