Slight threadjack... Did you guys have much trouble getting Little John's plane home?


What happened to LJ's Maule?


You're thinking the wrong Little John.

HIGH SIERRA PIC THREAD: Post em up!

Mike B and Brad with CC came over and gave a hand made it possible and the drive home was a non issue. It was Lil Johns. Not Little Johns.[emoji3]

I'm sure there must be some socially redeeming value in *that one*! When someone figures it out, please let me know. Oh, wait, it's the gap, isn't it?

Sting Flight's video of the event, which I couldn't bring myself to paste together for 10 days. Tyler and Tom took off only seconds before I was going to launch for home, too.

Tiny tires @4:35 lol....they are 8:00x6 not the biggest for sure but 300 non turbo charged horsepower gets you 160 or so on a nice warm day up there in the high lands....and 8:00x6 can go anywhere 8:50x6 tires can go.

Great job on the video too!

Yeah, roger that! Mine were no doubt the smallest out there, @ 4.8" x 8"--utility trailer tires ($21 each, though)!

Right now, I'm just a freaking STOL flyer, trapped inside a plastic, bubble-topped, light sport. And as soon as I can unload it and move into something I should be flying, instead, I can start getting ready for next year.

Anybody looking for a good LSA that flies 120 knots all day on 3.8 gph?
