My toy.. LOVE IT. Just finished upgrading the engine to an M-14P (extra ponies)

Awesome plane, I love it. Glad to see you join.

Well I can finally join the club. Picked this 7ECA up on Friday. 1400 TT, Recent fabric. A great flier and extremely well taken care of. I apologize for the cell phone picture quality.

Good lookin 7ECA JAX

Here' the new ride! Not a tail dragger but she'll get in and out short. Its a big step from the C150, seems to burn a little more fuel though.

Here's an update: Added 26'' bushwheels, baby bush tailwheel fork kit, and double puck clevelands.

Woke that ol' girl right up! Very nice!

Awesome!! I'm envious...would love to have that setup on my little Maule .

I'm not done... Sportsman Stol Kit goes on this weekend

That is going to be killer.....scolopox's 170 works amazing with the sportsman.

Must have been a wet spring in CA and the money tree is blooming nicely ! Been dry in TX and I don't thing mine is even going to put out

Didn't I read somewhere?..."thou shall not envy.....thou shall not envy....."

Enjoy the new toys!

I can't wait to see what it will do, I've heard nothing but good things about the Sportsman. If half of it is true I'll probably be happy.

Plane looks great Rob! What ended up being the issue with the Clevelands not fitting on the first go?

Here you are spending money on cool stuff and I'm spending money on repairing a bum magneto that has been giving me trouble. I'll bet the Sportsman will be an awesome addition.

Wup sent me a new torque plate that rotated the caliper out of the way so it would clear the gear. Only problem is now I might have to get a spacer to go in between the brake disk and wheel so I have more clearance from the side wall of the tire. With late model 170 gear or 180 gear this would be a non issue as you could use the standard torque plates.

I hope so! I have Caveman and Johnson Creek on the calender, also looking forward to getting back up in the Sierras with AKT and everyone else.

Nice! Prop looks good also.
If Zane had invested a little in a new boob job.......she'd probably still be with him.
