Cool. I wish KC had something like that. Are you coming to the gathering in Harrison, Ar next week? Russ

My 17' cedar strip kayak does quite well in the water. I'm sure he (or she) has covered the wood all around with fiberglass cloth and resin and then coated it with spar varnish. It would be quite waterproof then. Although rocks and someone else's bumper is another story all together. Wood encapsulated in fiberglass is surprisingly light and strong. Russ

OMG that is my home town! I always wondered about Independence cops. There is a place in eastern Iowa that makes these and full sized rhinos, elephants, etc for zoos and yard art. I would love to have one in my yard but Shawnee, Ks cops are just as bad as Independence cops. Russ

Now that my friends IS a Se7en!!!!!!!! Russ

Oh, to have that much money.

Yeah I saw that on another forum but this is a better view. That was funny. Someone will get a talking to I am sure. Russ

OMG!!!!!!!! That is unreal. I thought my motorcycle crashes were bad but this takes the cake. Russ

Let me get back to you on that. I can't find my notes. I think it was friday or saturday. Whizzy are you on the email list for participants? If not then PM me your email. Russ

T-Minus 39 days and counting till the Midwest Se7ens Gathering. We have participant awards and other prizes All ready to go. Julian is down in Arkansas today going over last minute adjustments on our routes. If you haven't told us you are going please do so via a PM or email so we can get our counts right. Looking forward to seeing old friends again and meeting a lot of new ones also. Russ Amos

I have Piloti's. Got them cheap at Sportsmans Guide. Real comfortable and real narrow. I think I paid less than $40 including frt. Russ

It was not a big deal. Just pull out the old points and condenser and install the new module. Gap the module and magnetic sleeve at .030 with a plastic feeler gauge. Put cap on and then time the engine. PM me with an email address and I'll email you the inst. sheet that came with mine. If I can do it anybody can. I'm kind of skiddish about making engine mod's. Russ

If you drive down I-44 and then south on Hiway65 a ways on June 9-12, you can come to the Midwest Se7ens Gathering in Harrison, Ar. Russ

Look on Locostusa.com. Cliff Flath, Mike Stieff, And Powerbrake are some that come to mind, Russ

Rag1998, there is a Stalker for sale here in KC do you want me to have him bring it over when you come by for you to look at also? Russ

305's in the rear????? Do you need an extra wide load escort??? Man-O-man that is some serious rubber. Russ

Funny!!! What if you don't have a passenger??? Of course if you only have RHD and 58hp like me you never pass anyone except maybe a tractor. Russ

This is a nice one…. Before they're all gone, I hope some of the original crew members from WWII get a chance to fly on this bird. Subject: Fifi Flys Again To see this thing fly in person is certainly on my bucket list...........Enjoy __|__ *--o--o-(_)-o--o--* To our friends who may not understand the passion we feel for planes and particularly planes from WW11, this is Fifi. It is the only flying B-29 Strato Fortress in the world. This is one of the combat airplanes that flew from Iwo Jima, Saipan, Tinian islands to bomb Japan and help win the war. It was usually escorted by P-51 Mustangs to protect her from enemy fighters but many thousands of planes and aircrews were lost fighting for our country. This happened at a time in history before we had long range missiles and electronics. These planes were flown by men from our farms and cities who left their families at home and risked their lives in high altitude gun fights. It was up close, brutal and extremely dangerous but they risked it all to protect our country. Many never came home again. We love, respect and honor all of our veterans. But we also have a love affair with the planes. It is a permanent addiction for us so we preserve these wonderful aircraft so you can see and experience the marvelous machines that preserved our freedom. We have completely rebuilt this aircraft and those powerful prop engines to bring Fifi back to life. It took years to accomplish, many thousands of donated dollars and thousands of hours of work by many unpaid volunteers to make this happen so that everyone can share this important part of our history. This is a unique flying museum. If you get a chance to see her at an airshow, don't pass up the chance. You are watching history and she is the only one left out of thousands. This is truly a rare aircraft. Enjoy the video. Col. Tom Leo Golden Gate Wing Someone did a nice job of filming Fifi, the only flying B-29. "FIFI" First Flight with New Engines on Vimeo

Those guys are on drugs!!!!!

Their always right. Just ask my wife!!! Russ

OMG!!! That was funny. I know my rights and it is not to be stupid. Russ

I put a Petronix ignition in my xflow and had no problem with the tach. What did the previous owner have to say about it? Look on the tach and see if there is a switch for number of cylinders: 2/4/6/8. Sounds like it is set on 2. Russ
