Great night

[Dawger]

I actually got in for one sortie, My first in a month anywhere in AH.

Flew the P38 and found the fight at the two closest bases with the LW hugging the deck.

Good to see people in the arena at 6:30 central time.

last night was a great night in the AVA. if you missed it, you missed alot. while there are objectives for this week, no one is really trying all that hard to make them.

Last night saw new players and vets in the AVA. i saw capitol's name so many times, i thought i was in washington, D.C. the sportsmenship last night was awesome to say the least. no one was doing the normal MA stuff. It was all clean fights. it was a breath of fresh air to see that in the AVA for a change.

<S> to everyone that played last night. It was fun, i hope we can do it again. Remember, Last set up upgraded planes tonight!

Ink, I don't know what satellite company you are with but some offer a certain amount of free back up dial up minutes and you can still fly on dial up. Use satellite for downloading and dial up to fly, it's better than Sat.

Or you can see if this is available in your area. http://www.wi-power.com/

heh... I logged in early and it was just me and 'tree'.  I started deacking a base for chuckles and he invited me to find his GV and kill him.  So I go loiter over the base he was attacking and couldn't find him.  Decided to run over to the nearest enemy base and see if he was coming up.  Did a low pass and bap bap bap .. tower.  Checked the roster and it was like the floodgates opened. 

I'll be in there tonight around the same time.

i'm gonna try to get in tonight, but i gotta clean my garage some....get my r/c airplanes out of there, and nto the house, now that it's getting cold....and make room to put my race car in there at home, as it's a pain in the nuts moving it in and out of the shop every morning and night.

what kind of car?  i use to run  66 Fairlane with a 418 SB

this one's a 68 camaro. all fiberglass body. it used to have a 454 bored to 461. now it's got a 540 in it. it ran 9.90's before....we're expecting low 9's high 8's if we ever get it back to the track.

[grumpy37]

nice, we ran 10.60's all day long.  Ive got a 496 BB chevy in my Jet Boat   Merlin II heads that flow over 400 and an Enderly Injection hat on a tunnel ram.  Never on a Dyno but similar setup put out over 900HP and 700lbs of torque!  Id love to put that in a car.  I could run 8's all day long in a Nova II

absolutley it would. the 540 is using a merlin 2 block, with canfield heads built specifically for this engine. she was dynoed to 820hp....but that's at the flywheel

that is a very reliable setup.  very predictable once you get your carbs dialed in.  One reason i went with injection, besides the fact it just looks squeakin its way more reliable then carbs.

if i could afford it, i'd try some sort of fuel injection. i like fi on my street cars. as it is, we have an 1100cfm dominator sitting on top. i forget which jets we put in ti though.......suffice it to say, that standing too close when the engine is throttled is a bad idea. 

[grumpy37]

lol yeah i bet.  funny thing was i wanted to run dual carbs on this engine anyway and it ended up being close to the same cost with the injection as the dual carb setup would be.  I was going for the "WOW that looks sweet" reaction as its for a boat not just function or i would have used the same as you.

Last night was my first time to fly in AvA it was definatly challenging and I had a great time!   Going to try and get my squadies to come over!
