    Help! Anyone own the 104" AJ Slick?

    What size? If it's 5" the center bolt carbon fiber one with the aluminum backplate that Extreme Flight sells is pretty nice. I don't see it on there website, but they may still have it. The part # was EF-SPIN-5BLK

    Back in the 80's props were shooting off 4 strokes constantly at my field. It was down right hazardous.;)

    Can't say that a blame you there. When you don't know just what your painting over it's a better safe than sorry situation.

    Discussion The I’m going out flying thread 2018

    A few years ago when I started flying helicopters I started logging my flights on an app on my phone so I could keep track of batteries mainly, but I also logged all of my airplane flights. I just went through a counted the total flights I had in 2017 and it's simply embarrassing. H9 35% Extra=...

    Mother Nature can be cruel when you least expect it. In the St. Louis area where I live they like to say "Don't like the weather? Wait a minute it will change". Most any hot humid day carries about a 20% chance of rain. Spot rain storms can kick up in minutes because of the hot, wet, unstable...

    You could always get a big van like @Xpress uses. I always carry a trash bag and some blue tape just in case the weather turns. I spent a good hour in under a gas station awning with 2 dune buggies and a bunch of motorcycles waiting for it to quit raining on a day when there was no rain in the...

    That is the glory of driving a rusty 23 year old truck to the field. If I need to mount something to the bed floor I just screw it down.:lol2: My tailgate isn't too bouncy, but the one on my buddies F150 bounces pretty good some times, but only when he's hauling his 35% Extra with the main gear...

    Airplane size normally isn't an issue other than wear to put the wings if it's a standard cab truck like my S10. Rain on the other hand, is a big problem when you are 30 minutes or so from the field. I had to leave our Warbird event in a hurry Sunday to keep from getting wet. Some of the guys...

    I plopped it in a bit Sunday and it tweaked the gear a little. They don't look bent, but I noticed the wheels are a little farther apart when I set it in the wheel chocks that are mounted in the bed of my truck. It's not much, but I think I'm going to pull it apart and check it out. None of it's...

    I should be around more now. Yeah it was good to see a fair number of people show up. With all the foam Warbirds out there now that fly well it sure helps the turn out. It would be great if they were all big gassers, but it's cool none the less. There were a few big gas Warbirds there. There...

    Hey guys! It's been quite some time since I posted, but since flying season is in full swing I'm sure I'll be here more. Yesterday our club had our Warbirds and Classics Fly In. It was nasty hot out, but great flying weather otherwise. They were good enough to allow me to fly Miss Moana, even...
