    3W 106 strange behavior

    I actually pulled the carb off last night and went through it very thoroughly. Even pulled the aluminum caps out and cleaned everything and flattened the surface on the aluminum reed and carb blocks :-( I thought they were supposed to be flat already, but I had seepage around part of the reed...

    IMAC Basic Only Event

    It was great putting faces to handles! I did take quite a few, but haven't pulled them from the camera yet. I will create a thread for the pictures when I do pull them.

    IMAC Basic Only Event

    Man I wish it was closer! That would be an awesome event with a lot of learning happening. The IMAC event in Little Rock was awesome! Great people and some really good flying.

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    As a retired Marine, let me shed some light on the situation. The current generation of older retired veterans had a totally different experience than what I had during my time in the Corps. I was fortunate to not have seen combat and I thank God for that every day. When you are put in the...

    3W 106 strange behavior

    I will try to richen the low end just a touch and see what happens. I will also try to get some video if it is still acting up so everyone can see what is happening.

    3W 106 strange behavior

    Definitely lean. No burble at all. Just like when the needle is to lean and you try to transition on the ground and it just sags. If it was rich it should be stumbling all over itself and that would be ok in my book. Rich lives to fly another day, lean will meet the green. Pretty cool, I just...

    It is getting close, but I hate it when something gets the best of me.

    3W 106 strange behavior

    Yes, I have a tube running to the fuse. It is only in a knife edge from left to right canopy in. Right to left works perfectly.

    3W 106 strange behavior

    And the saga continues... This is 3W 106 iB2. Straight and level or inverted flight runs fine. No sag on verticals and will idle all day long then go. The issue is knife edge from left to right. When performing a right to left knife edge everything is fine, but when you turn around and set into...

    Delivered a plane to Wrightsville, AR yesterday for a friend and also flew in my first IMAC contes . It was a blast! Met a couple of other GSN members there.

    I know what you mean. 1 year in Okinawa, 7 month Med cruise on the Inchon, 4 - 6 month pumps to Iwakuni. I had fun, but don't miss the time away from the family.

    3D Shop Construction

    When I ran my power to the garage, I had to have mine in Sched 40 Gray PVC. That is crazy seeing your wires just laying in the dirt like that. Maybe it is because we have a lot of shale and sharp rocks that migrate through the ground all of the time here in NW Arkansas.

    As president of our local club in my second term, I guess I was doing something right or at least not making to many enemies, we have some of the same situations here. Over the winter, we actually came to some conclusions that will work for both safety and appease the ones that are always...
