Throw a 39/8 on there with some 8" wheels to keep from mowing the grass! That should get you...ohhhh, about 2,342 rpm's. Just enough to beat me.

That's a picture of me when I was a little younger and less gray. I use to dress a little better when I went flying, not so much anymore.

I'd be able to come to the canada contest if I can sell my airplane after the contest.
Does anyone want to buy a sukhoi in canada ? Ready to fly. Never a deadstick DA 85 (with all the latest updates) mtw 110 canister, no-flex SS header, A123 BATTS, 5955'S all around, mejzlik prop, alum wheels, opto ignition kill, 9 channel spektrum receiver, spare hatch - and new cowl when it comes from horizon. I've pretty much worked out all the bugs with this airplane and it does fly pretty well pretty easily. It's never been crashed or had the landing gear ripped out or anything like that. Never nosed over even. It has had a couple cowl mount blocks break which in turn caused the cowling to crack up - but a new cowl has been ordered and would make this pretty much cherry again. It is a killer in basic and has performed fairly well for me in sportsman. Anyone interested ? $2000

Good luck Smackey. That's a steal on your plane. That is a 50cc price, without all the jazz, which your plane has, plus it is a proven winner! Good luck pal and my recommendation to anyone wanting to take a short cut and go directly to an outstanding plane, then this is a fantabulous offer, for a give away price.

Okay, today is the day to chime in.... who's going to Surrey? This is giong to be a great contest and an opportunity to fly for your fun and your country's too. Team Canada has really turned out this year in very big numbers to support the NW Region's IMAC and they have proven to be 1st class competitors and 1st class individuals. I challenge you USA brothers to get up off your couches for a weekend of incredible fun and join us in Surrey. We have only two contests left and you'll be sorry if you miss this one. I have it on close personal advisory that these folks in Canada are outstanding hosts. Let's all join them and go the extra few miles. They have certainly traveled allot this year and because of their efforts our contests have been far better than not! I am brimming with excitement, and yes, that makes me a FREAK, just like you. Look it up, Websters Dictionary defines freak, among other things as an addict, and I know a great many of you who are complete flying junkies! Ha!! So, come on and get your fix this weekend in Surrey. If you snooze..... you lose.
