I think international orange would be appropriate.

Larry, My wing was shortened and I was really unhappy with the way it flew. :( :( :(
So I'm re-extending it out to the original 36 feet.

I guess this is one of those inside kind of things; if you don't KNOW what happened you aren't supposed to ask?

Jesus Dave,
Hurry the hell up will ya? You're down to about a month to the SC flyin and if you aren't runnin who's gonna bring the beer? Almost more importantly who else will be cool enough to be my KC-135? I don't want to have to go to McCall for fuel. Quit playin' grab ass, and I don't want to hear that the FedEx guy was late. \:D/

You should have been at the Fly-in. Come with Dave and I to the Super Cub fly-in and we will fill you in over a beer!!!


I just got through flying almost seventy hours in the last two weeks. I'm afraid that my recreational flying is over for a while due to budgetary constraints. I'm broke for the time being. I think I can imagine though. As long as no one was hurt, airplanes can be repaired. I must say SD's taking it a lot better than I would.
I don't think the SC guy's would take kindly to a Maule would they? From what gather from this tread they apparently eat wingtips :lol:

Probably a good idea to keep them on hand for spare parts. Or recycle them into beer cans. When is the SC fly in

Try to make it. Still think it would be fun (that is if sombody bought me a lottery ticket and I won an obsene amount) to take a 180 and convert it to a tricycle gear and join the Skywagon Club. After all it would be a registered 180.

gigle gigle super dave.

Wow

Wow SD, That looks like my well organized hanger that you have your plane in. :lol:

It may not be well organized, but I know where everthing is!

Glad you back in the air.

Fly Safe, Bub

Keep any straight corrigated skins for use in flap repairs.
