That's why your RV is perked at 20.

If there's a lot of air traffic the multiplier kicks in and it's perked at 32...

Cool HT!!  The wife and I are considering building our own RV-7a.  Retirement is approaching and I told her it was either I build an airplane or keep her company around the house all day!  :D

I thought Randy was flying your plane that day?

You might want a new paint job more in keeping with AHII. Something like this maybe.

Hmmm, to match that on the ground, what kind of car do you drive, HT?  New 'vette?

Good thing you didn't have numbers on the other team so your favorite plane wasn't available in the hangar.

Mean while In the study at 221 baker street london

Holmes: "Well Watson, what do you deduce from HT’s post...?"

Watson:"Buggered If I know Holmes, why don’t you tell me, I mean You are the ’Great detective’."

Holmes: "My sad little side kick, If you had spent less time searching for the Pamela Anderson video and more time paying attention to the forums you would realaise the either TOD development must be going very well or the player base just doubled"

Watson: “Well Holmes if I was smacked up on a daily four pound ”pinch of snuff” I suppose reading the BBS is the most exciting thing I would be doing… but as I am not, why don’t you tell me how your managed to come to that deduction”

Holmes: “Well my dear limpy…. and from what the working ladies say I am not talking about your war wound… when was the last time you saw HT post anything other than a response to a whine.”

Watson: ”My goodness homo... I mean Holmes your right, HT must be in a good mood…”

Holmes: “Of course I am right, now bugger off and fetch me a new sack of snuff… and this time don’t cut it with pepper or I will stick that walking cane somewhere that will make you forget about that limp of yours….”



Please excuse the above attempt at humor…:p  It just popped into my head and I thought it sounded funny

But seriously since I started that’s the first post I have seen HT start and it’s the only one that was not in reply to an AH whine…. So I figure he must be in a pretty good mood for the moment….

Quick someone hit him up for the 75mm B25 while his amiable and while we are at it……

:D

Which engine option do you have in there HiTech?  Is it IFR, or VFR only?

I desperately want to build an RV-4 (I like the way it looks way more than the RV-8), but the price adds up very quickly.

Post by: hitech on August 11, 2005, 08:35:40 AM
LYC IO-360 200HP with inverted oil. VFR with garmin 295, only missing NAV radio for IFR.

Yippie, before you decide on 4 vs 8 make sure you sit in both. I can't fly a 4 6 or 7 do to head room.


KTM: Randy was flying that day.

I had seen the video before on another site and I've seen the airplane before but I never made the connection on who owned the airplane untill you posted the video here.

RV's are very nice rides. I want to build one some day.

So, how about that paint job? The P51 thing has been done to death. Maybe something along the lines of a 109. Put some 20mm under the wings:lol

KTM: Im a very big fan of bright airplanes. Military grey is fairly hard to see. I do quite a bit of acro, and realy like people being able to spot me more readily.
