Jackye, Glad you liked my toys. As far as the information system you hit the nail on the head, usually too much info in too small a space. I flew behind one...

Hi Wes, Oh yes I am very well. I live in a part of the Ozarks that seem to be safe from major storms. My home is relatively very high (about 1400 ft). The...
There was a post on another group (engines-ul?) a little while back in which the poster was claiming that using the powerfin "speedset" hub (uses spark-plug...
... Mine are on the money. Maybe that person was using the old hub. The new Apex hub is CNC milled right at the factory compared to the old one which was...
Hi Mike, What can you tell me about fixing nicks&dings on a composite prop? I have been told about the "baking soda and crazy glue" fix for wood props ... but...
Blade, I've used marine epoxy to fix many composit props with very good results. MikeAero ... From: blade To: weedhopper@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, June...
Thanks for the info, Mike! I have never used marine epoxy so I am not sure how to use it. Do you have a favorite brand? I assume I would: 1) clean the are...

Blade, Yes do as you said but if it's deep mix up a little bit of shredded mat or cloth to your dab of epoxy to give it body and filling caracterisitcs. Also...
David, I'm extreemly sorry to hear about your mis-hap but I'm very HAPPY that your OK!!! You can always rebuild your plane but the human body is another thing...
Keith, The main thing you need to know is that with these 2-strokes it is not a matter of if, but, when, you are going to have an engine out. You can minimize...
Hey Butch! Long time no hear! I missed getting down to Sun-n-Fun, as planned! Didn't you sell your rebuilt Hopper? ... Do you Yahoo!? Friends. Fun. Try the...

DC, your guardian angel was with you. When you cartwheel an airplane you are suppose at least break an ankle or a leg. I have two rules that I follow...
