Amen to the duct tape,just add safty wire & McAllens single malt!

I like old stuff too,still I often wonder where we would be with a/c engines if the research & development of general aviation engines had been rewarding monywise after ww2. My son has a car with a six cyl eng. of 230 cubic inches & it makes 300hp of course the RPM is out of range for a dire...

Your guess would be correct Bruce,these pics are of course what Joe (being the movie stare that he is)calls "being in costume"& her airplane was so modified for her attempt that it required a restricted catagory

Thanks johneeb,Maybe your response will be enough to help others who want to look or maybe I should repost since I don't know how to change that one?

For anyone interested in old airplanes you might want to check out this website of my friends 1936 Lockheed 12

Mine has been gone for some years now but it's a rare day that he doesn't come to mind in some way.Strange how silly his words were when I was 17 & the smartest thing in the universe & how much smarter he got as the years went by & how much I didn't know (still don't).

Sorry another P.S.
The Paris brothers airplane is N2633

George this is P.S. The airplane in the pic that I posted is indeed the "Hoffa" airplane (N2072) although his name does not appear in the history of the plane,it said to have been his unofficially.The other one went to the Paris brothers of Oakland CA.Both airplanes were award winners at O...

Well I don't know about the things that you mentioned,but I do know that Joe discovered the airplane in Brenham Texas & traded a Cessna 195 for it some twenty years ago & went out there with a crew of friends & spent two weeks getting it up to speed enough for a ferry flight back to Will...

this is a picture of my buddy's recently completed lockheed 12, I get a message when I try my own 170B that bthe file is invalid so I tried a dif file.

Hey gahorn,hate to be such a DA but I always get to the same place & can't find anything that says "place in line" any help?

Likewise to all. Zreyn

Maybe you are right Cubuilder ,& Gahorn's sugestion of getting some duel instead of continuing honning my bad habits to the point of never being able to break them may be what I need! My real pilot friends complain about my airplane being squirlly on the ground but it seems perfectly ok to me bu...

Also you must remember as mentioned earlier that this is a one dimensional exchange (no voice enflection,facial expression etc)& many times things are taken in the wrong way .if you are inclined to be a little sensitive you may not want to put yourself in a position for others to comment on your...

Well I kind of figured that that might be true but I wouldn't know for sure since this is the only 170 I have ever had the good fortune to take off & land with me at the controls & it was configured the way it is now when I got it in 1981 & proceded to learn to fly in it. The stall angle...
