    GSN GIVE-A-WAY Hangar 9 35% Extra 300X Assembly

    Heat index is putting us in the triple digits this week too. Down right suffocating heat stroke weather. That DA 120 and beautiful install deserve better weather.

    Sport The Behemoth Yak gets a Behemoth Brother/129" Pilot Yak (2)

    I "used" to date that red head with my old lap top :). But now I have a new lap top and no date :(. Only thing I can think of is the "downsizing" in my hangar caused her to look for another lap top :oops:. Sheesh.......Women!

    CRRC GP50R

    Believe it or not the GP50R has been around for quite some time. Almost as long as the DL50. And like the DL50 it is a hard animal to find much less parts and service. I got some time before Fall shows up (when I really want to fly) to save up for a new DA50. That's probably best thing for me to...

    CRRC GP50R

    That would be correct. My first thoughts where to mount the 55 because it has the same "everything" just a little bigger bore and stroke. But because "I CHEAP" I'm not wanting to pay near DA price for a NIB DLE 55. Used DLE are IMO abused DLE and finding a good used one is hard. Not saying you...

    CRRC GP50R

    @BalsaDust I have had 3 DLE 55's over the years and no doubt a very good engine but now they are out of production and will be hard to find parts soon (just like my DL50). Also I have found that locating a NIB 55 is difficult and pricy (almost 400+ to door) Like Doug and Mike are saying I think...

    CRRC GP50R

    The DL50 I have is tired and wont tune well in the midrange (using canister/header) so I'm in the market for a new 50cc engine. Researching I found that the CRRC GP50R can be had for about 325 to the door. Hmn...DA50R is only a hundred more but is the CRRC worth the money? I have actually...

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

    Has been very hot humid and rainy so not much flying yet for 2017. Lots of shop time though:). Just finished upgrading a dual Miracle switch with 6amp toggles (vice stock 3 amp) and 18awg wire for my Extra. The BLS H50B on the rudder and spectrum 8010 receiver will thank me. Waiting for the...

    Cool The I'm going out flying thread 2017

    Here is what I did to my Pilot Extra. Works great. Wish I had done this to my Edge. Regretting selling my Edge:face-palm:. But the spring lasted over 5 years that I flew it.

    Extra & Slick Decals

    Stickers are Tatoo's for planes. Done with good ink they "POP". Too much ink and you don't realize your body anymore.

    I went to the "US Solar Pumps" website ( www.ussolarpumps.com ) and found that it is suitable for food service applications, chemical spray, wine dispensers, ice machines, and coffee dispensers. So I figured why not gasoline?:rolleyes: lol. The pump comes with a rubber boot that is fitted over...

    Found myself needing a new pump to fill the Extra with petrol 'O' plenty :cautious: (When I sold my 104 some how the gas can I made had to go with it!?!?:face-palm: lol). Any who.....I found this cool little gear pump on Amazon for under 30 bucks and got to work making me a gallon sized fueler...
