Propellor Divorce Kit

LOL! Thanks, Dave. I think that's great! And if I were closer ... ;) but nah, I'm not ready to run her off - too dang hard to train a new one.
 
Gotta love the guys sense of humor. Reminds me of a divorce case I handled early in my career and long before I started on the road to my PP.
I represented the husband who was a pretty good guy and who built airplanes as a hobby. He showed me photos of the plane he flew here from the west coast. He sold that plane and when his wife filed for divorce he had just gotten what I know know is the empanage section of a new kit he intended to build.

The wife was a greedy you know what and her attorney demanded that as part of the property settlement that my client pay 1/2 the value of the completed aircraft. keep in mind the emanage kit had just been taken out of the box. I told her attorney better yet we will give her the entire kit and she cold pay us 1/3 of the value of the finished aircraft. Heh Heh that ended that.:wink2:
 
It's just fascinating to see what some folks put on Craiglist and what they think it's worth. I have a lotta junk and am spending some time this weekend getting rid of some of it, but don't have any extra 14 foot propellers.

I don't think I could put one of those out front of the house for the monthly bulk trash pickup!

Best,

Dave

Ha ha! I'd like to see you try! That'd be FUNNY! :thumbsup:

Makes you wonder why he went and "collected" these things in the first place, knowing they were not airworthy. One man's junk, as they say...
 
:eek:)))

I have a rather bent McCauley propeller by way of (see photo). I have it nailed(three 8" galvanized spikes) to a large(thick) tree at the outer end of my driveway. I'm going to get reflective N7872G adhesive letters for it to mount on the normally-shaped end of the blade. Then I'll go to the post office to see if I can change my snail mail address to N7872G Henry Road from the current 39 Henry road.
I suspect that it can be done; there's only a half dozen residences on this private road.
(It took a sledge hammer to sink those spikes).

Get a goat and keep it staked out in the front yard (also eliminates lawn mowing and can provide fresh milk) or better yet, sell your house to a Hatian family, or at least invite one over to perform a Voodoo blessing...

I tried the latter (voodoo blessing part). And unfortunately farm animals are prohibited in my neighborhood.

Next house I buy is going to have a runway attached.
 
I bought a leather flight jacket on ebay one time. It smelled of cigarette smoke so bad that I could not even keep it in the house. I tried everything to get the smell out, and I couldn't touch it. So I decided to sell it on ebay, but I didn't want to dump a smelly jacket on someone, so I advertised it as making a statement. "If you are a smoker, and you want everyone to know that you are a smoker, buy this jacket. It reeks. Walk into your favorite restaurant, where they just banned smoking, and everyone there will know you are a smoker, and proud of it." On and on like that. So I put it on ebay, and I sold it for almost twice what I had paid for it.
