Stacey.. It would be nice if you could attend the Seminar. We have 25 pilots attending, should be very imformative and a good get together. Yea maybe you could carpool with a couple of your flying buddies. See what you can do!! Hows the practicing going?? Are you camping at the field for the BC Coastal Challenge?? Like you said " 4 weeks togo"...... yea that was to bad about Harvs 3w. I was there and saw the twisted motor. It does'nt matter what harv flies. He's an awesome pilot and getting better each week.

I was out today and my daughter is calling for me. It is awesome to have someone to call during practice since I am the only one at my field consistently trying to practice.

hey russ, and guys. I was flying around (with the big cap) did an imac sequence and decided to do some knifeedge . I went full boar and put in the rudder but i noticed a massive loss of power, so i thought i mgiht did to touch the needles a bit, so i turn around and fly one circut and then i heard a grinding noise and i was like oh S*** better land this sucker. So i turn onti my final leg when prop jammed itself.(not like normal) so i was lucky i managed to get the plane down. I went to turn the prop but it was really tight, so ic alled good ol' dad to figure out the problem, he thoguht the motor mgiht be siezed. i pulled the cowling off and saw a crack all the way around the neck of the case. i pulled the motr apart(since there was no warranty) and noticed that the timing on the crank case is way out of wack. (all the parts on the crank are ehat shrunk together.) and it was slipped so all the bearings werent inline with the shaft. so it was gonna cost me 850 to replace thats before taxes plus shipping plus labor. Im getting bill fongs DA 100 from his yak for a hell of alot better deal.(e-mail me if you need anything.)harv
