Re: Fastest 170 in the fleet!

Give me about three weeks, and I'll get you pictures of the entire engine bay.

Re: Beware maintenance done by Glen Forsyth

If I was at Casa Grande, I'd take my stuff to Tony Frost.

He did the covering on an Interstate Cadet that he restored.

Good mechanic, Upstanding no-nonsense guy.

Re: Proud New Owner of N3JX

Being experimental/exhibition I do have limitations: If I am to attend an airshow, I have to fax a letter to the FAA once a year. I can fly it 300 miles from my home base with no notification. If I am to do a cross country of ...
