I’ve always wanted to use my colonoscopy pics on Christmas cards, but my wife always votes it down.... Something about not making an ass of myself.

Gear up water landing. Different story fixed gear.

Everything. I built it.

Did my part. Committed aviation this AM.

Go for it..... ;)

NE Wisconsin. Just bring bug spray......

No, but they said I might be suffering from a crainio-rectal inversion.

It’s a non-event. At my last one, after I came to, I asked the nurse if they found my head up there.... That’s where it is occasionally. I’ve been told by my wife, who I think makes this stuff up, that I am quite chatty while coming to, and that I am rather proud of myself whilst relieving...

Heading to STL that day. Wish I could join you.

Congratulations! You are going to have a great time. Get onto the Vans Air Force site or Rivetbangers, where you will find support and answers to the many questions you’ll have. Do a task each day if you can, and enjoy small successes along the way. The way you eat an elephant is one bite at...

Always wondered what it’s like to fly in there instead of OSH. Thanks!

Wife has zero interest in my home building/flying. Refuses to fly with me, even for a lap around the pattern in clear air. Grandkids, whom she adores, live an 8 1/2hr car ride away. Doesn’t see the advantage of a 3 hr flight to go see them. Even dislikes flying commercial. Hang ups include...

While in dental school I had several profs from Australia. In one class we were being taught occlusion. This particular Aussie was detailing how “you set the anterior taeth ehge to ehge”. Which after amplification and Echo in the classroom came out “H to H.” I’m looking around at my fellow...

Grand Rapids technologies Safefly gps/Uavionix Echo UAT paired with Garmin GTX 327. Displayed on GRT Sport SX as well as an Ifly 740 and my iPad.

Quite the interceptor you fly. Good thing you weren’t armed. You could have had three kills in one day!

Did you have it repaired in OSH or did you truck it home? Are you the builder? I would think it would be suckier to have an accident like that far from home base than anything you previously thought sucked about your airplane.

Sorry to see this. So that was you on 36R?

There is a product out there from a company oddly called Antisplat which is basically a gear leg stiffener. Worst case scenario it causes the leg to bend up high by the cowl instead of down low by the wheelpant, which when it bends it knuckles under and starts the flip process. This is a...
