    Never seen a Coronita before...how does it differ from Corona? Male and female beer?? You got to be kidding me?

    I keep asking my club members if they want me to change props to quieten the flights and they actually threatened bodily harm to me if I change it. LOL It's really not that loud unless you give it too much throttle.

    Man I'm glad noise isn't an issue where we fly...we have a neighborhood fairly close and sometimes attract spectators but no one has ever complained. My 170 with stock exhaust and that Xoar prop can really get loud...

    What beer ya drinking tonight?

    Coronita??..sounds like maybe you have had too much Corona..LOL  that's a good Mexican beer.  Another one I really like is Modelo Especial or Negra. Only problem is they are really loaded with calories...like 170 per beer.

    What would you guys like to see from us?

    Good idea...similar to a gear/wheel puller. Man sometimes it's a real bitch getting those arms off.

    2-stroke oil,what works,what doesn't

    Well I've been on Redline a couple of months now and it been good so far...don't get nearly as much black goo splattered on the plane, very little smoke and the engines performing great.

    Thanks...that is what I want to do. I like that and I have several A 123s I could use to power the pump. It said in the specs that 6.6 volts was acceptable for that pump and I see you are using a Life battery.

    I looked at the Chad's website and it said that a mounting bracket was included. Are you able to mount your switch and battery on that bracket or do you plug the battery in when you are filling?

    I bought two hand crank units at the beginning of last year. So far they are holding up pretty good. I expect come spring, there is gonna be a big change to my gas can. I'm older now, let the batteries do the crankin' 'stead of my arm. LOL Same here...I have a 1500cc tank in my Yak and it takes...

    What beer ya drinking tonight?

    If you do and have to run to the liquor store I would ditch the shirts...LOL be bad luck to get pulled over and with that shirt on you are guaranteed at least a field sobriety test.. All jokes aside Mike it looks like you got it going on good...like you said life's short so enjoy it while you can

    I have lipos for my foamy planes and of coarse I charge them in a lipo bag but I use to run lipos in my PAU Extra 540 and it was a pain in the ass to have to remove them every time I charged.  I think a lot of the reported lipo fires were from using the wrong charge setting...damaged batteries...

    Barbeque and beer go good together Mike...must really be a good one for you to purchase that much...just tried to goggle map Cuba and it froze up ...I'll have to try later. My neighbor brews some at home and I thought about doing it myself. I did brew some beer in microbiology lab back in my...

    Actually my batteries are Li-ions but like Bunky stated I never over discharge and balance charge all my lithium batteries. With lipos I certainly would not charge them unattended especially if left in the plane..personally I believe many of these lipo fires reported have or can be attributed to...

    Sub'd...it'll be nice to balance charge without taking the batteries out...that's been a big complaint having to remove batteries to charge and now it will soon be a thing of the past...
