    Raptor Aircraft

    I wish the world still worked like that but it doesn't. If enough people tell him that thing is a POS, people who know, and some climbs in a tries to fly it and dies. His family will sue. If I was on that jury I'd vote to againt him. Its great to try and push the envelop or be visionary. But...

    Raptor Aircraft

    All Y'all wishing him good luck and admiring him while he aint even flown this thing are part of the problem.

    How to transport a Rans S-6?

    I hauled my skybolt project from Denver to Atl in a 16ft penske truck. had to remove motor mount and tail to fit in the truck. It had no wings but if its in nice shape I would do something like this. Just rent a bigger truck if you need more room.

    Question, RV camping and dish network

    Hows your cell phone data plan? Stream from phone or laptop intoi TV using a roku or similar if its not a smart TV. Some free stuff out there or use netflix, prime etc for content. No need for dish. Heck many of the pay sites have a week or 2 free. Use that and then cancel.

    Happy Wright Brothers Day

    The part of the story I love is how it’s really American. Like the gubmint was throwing money at ‘experts’ trying to figure this out and in typical gubmint fashion it was a dumpster fire. But a couple of bicycle mechanics figured out so much by actually working, not theorizing. They did wing...

    How I learned about Honda's Collision Mitigation Braking System...

    I think I had your guy a couple times as a cab driver in Tokyo last week. This on older guy, he was impressive. He made lanes appear where I, being a lowly foreigner, assumed only bicycles and rain water were allowed to go. Plus I had a couple lessons in the fine art of pushing pedestrians...

    Anybody know the cure time for PR-1005-L?

    UH-60 over UH-1

    I had the pleasure of sitting door gunner with my pig over the jungle in Panama during JOTC...that was a fun couple rides. It didn’t quite make up for hauling that ***** up and down those mountains for a couple weeks but it was close. Hawks were more reliable and could haul more but the Huey...
