    The cub is on the table! Been almost 2 yrs. It really needs recovering but I'm going to sneak one more year.

    Frank Tiano, Candidate for AMA President

    I know nothing of the other 2 candidates so I'll have to do some research. I know good and bad about FT. I do know he cares about his portion(s) of the hobby though.

    Frank Tiano, Candidate for AMA President

    That was more of what I was looking for. Specifics of things to change. Not sure I completely understand the insurance for vendors and if claims are made how that affects my dues. But everything else is good. And I'm not a FT fan, but may still write him in

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    My first time utilizing them. Since Bobby Retired at Cactus I have not required any maintenance....though I guess in the case of the one engine it should have went in for a checkup long ago, instead I just fiddled with it till I got it running good, just hard to start. Hoping all that is fixed...

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    Well I didn't really do anything.......but I got my RTL/MCMaster Carr/PSPmfg packages for the Viper so I can bling it up a little and install the engine. Also got a call from AI. Seems both my engines are in outstanding condition internally (running 40:1 Redline). He joked one didn't even...

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    I pretended to work on my Viper again. I cut a couple alum mount brackets for my motor and then put the plane on its tail so I could try to lineup the engine with the cowl. I need 1 inch standoffs still so I ordered some PSPmfg ones. I also HATE, HATE BME engines because they refused to...

    Columbus Big Birds 2016

    After talking with AI....I'm sending in both my 3W106's for some work. 1 is precautionary as I might have a slipped hub/sheared key. The other is the Edge engine which still wouldn't start and I've been trouble shooting to no avail.

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    I'm actually going to pack up both engines and send them to Gerhardt at AI. The Edge engine has always had some issues starting the first time, but after that would run great and start easy. The Ultimate I really feel the hub has slipped. I've had both engines since around 2004-2006 so it's...
