    What beer ya drinking tonight?

    Trying another Founders brew called Porter... The bottle says it's dark, rich and sexy. It's definitely dark and rich don't understand where the sexy part comes in... I guess if you drink enough of it you'll think you're sexy. 6.5% by volume with a 45 IBU... Not a bad beer but I kinda like the...

    Whew....that was a close one! Close Call and Narrow Escapes

    I've had plenty of close calls over the years as well as many others here have probably had and sad to say none of them were caught on video. I've also had my share I didn't get her down in one piece...Sometimes lady luck is with you and most of the time she's not especially if your engine dies...

    What beer ya drinking tonight?

     Well I thought I would broaden my horizons and try something different... Dirty Bastard... Scottish style ale by Founders Brewing in Grand Rapids Michigan.. 8.5% alcohol by volume with a 50 IBUs rating which is a medium bitterness rating.., heavy on the malt but smooth no bad aftertaste. ...

    DLE-55 spitting too much gas back .

    How does it run?  Spitting fuel from the carburetor isn't normal..might take the cab off and  check your diaphragm and needle valve to make sure it is seating properly.

    What beer ya drinking tonight?

    Hey if they need an advertising slogan I just thought of one... "Real men drink double stout"  .....Jesus Guinness on steroids? One things for certain it's dark and probably thick too? I know I would need to proceed with caution or get acclimated to it by consuming vast quantities of Guinness.

    @pawnshopmike you need to create a Crafted Beer Guide Book and title it "Mike's Choice".  Most people pick one or two poisons and stick with them but you seem to try something new everyday. I use to love going to the wineries and do the taste test thing and find one I really like..not sure if...

    What beer ya drinking tonight?

    Almost bought some Arkansas Moon Shine...legitimate taxed corn squeezins...55% or 110 proof but I opted not to this time. A little of that stuff should go a long ways. I use to drink Crown and occasionally still do... my favorite was the Reserve. It seems like everything I've tried  brewed in...

    Yeah Valley View has a good reputation for treating their customers right. Got my first 50cc plane and my first DLE 55 from them several years ago. Good bunch of people! It looks like our wonderful summertime like weather is finally coming to an end here also. They forecasted rain both today...

    RC Airplane Memes

    Thank God for 2.4 GHz... 74 planes with no radio interference. WOW  Better not take yer eye off your plane even for millisecond. Now can you imagine that many battle axes in the air trying to hit each other. It'd  be like a demolition derby airborne and the last plane flying is the winner.

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    Do-rag I had a DLE 30 on a  Great Planes quarter scale RV4 that ran like a scolded dog. Never had any trouble with that engine at all. I recently sold it to club member who's going to install it on a 30cc MX2. I do know many people have had trouble with the clone carburetor that comes with the...
