    IAC to Move Nationals to Oshkosh in 2017

    dragons? it's the scene where Tom Cruise is riding his scooter to the base and the jet lands then takes off again. i met that guy. :) there's a funny youtube video about Top Gun with Quentin Tarantino, don't love him but it's pretty funny.

    SOLD! 3W-100i B2 w/ DA Ignition & Mufflers

    actually the big cub needs weight in the nose, maybe I should put this engine on there in place of the lighter BME102 I'm using......hmmmm, but do I have time before JN to make the change?

    SOLD! 3W-100i B2 w/ DA Ignition & Mufflers

    Maybe I should drop the price $15 per day until it sells. I'm sure someone here deserves a good deal... Today is Friday and the price is now $375 plus actual shipping (because shipping has gotten flipping expensive!)

    SOLD! 3W-100i B2 w/ DA Ignition & Mufflers

    Up for sale today is this fine example of a 3W-100i B2 complete with stock mufflers and Desert Aircraft dual ignition. The choke is a little sloppy because the spring that keeps it from vibrating was removed but it's in good shape and will be fine once the spring is replaced. This was on a 35%...

    only if you're assuming I won't mount a mid season surge from Basic into Intermediate and dominate the category! ok, just kidding. was thinking today it might be fun to campaign the 1/3 scale Super Cub in Basic this year (flew with Earle today, pondered it we did) :)

    Scale Question..How many EXPERIMENTAL builders out there?

    there is definitely that element involved in general aviation, we lose some good people from time to time. let me kick this around, there's a big announcement in the works and maybe I'll just fold this smaller detail into the new development that will be going on. thanks for the feedback...

    Scale Question..How many EXPERIMENTAL builders out there?

    Was just wondering how many of you guys are moonlighting in the garage (vs. the basement shop) building a homebuilt aircraft? Also known as, EXPERIMENTAL :) I was thinking maybe we can add a new thread title prefix, Experimental, and have our members post their builds here alongside our giant...

    Scale World Models 1/3 Super Cub Project

    Pilot RC 107" Extra 330SC

    a mower filter in the fuel line is a good idea, never thought of it but will have to grab one next time i'm near a garden center. i have a filler fitting with a sintered bronze filter in it but i like the idea of a paper filter element with a lot more surface area like what you're talking about. :)
