Our hobby is about more than we realize. I left the house this morning at 4:30am for Triple Tree to pick up a plane for rebuild. The six hour drive was mind numbing, to say the least.
When I got there though, all five of my senses were revived and I was assaulted by more than what they could handle.

I felt the vibration of a powerful jet as it tore through the air
I smelled the Turbine Juice from across the field
I saw a small electric model that was cabable of 185 mph
I heard it go across the field.....It said: WHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
And when it went the other way, It said: WOOOOOOOOoooooooooooowwwwwwww!
Although I did not taste any of the models, I did share my sandwich with a Black Lab.

What a day!

Sleepy: Who DIDN'T have a motor in this plane???

It is at my house now for a complete rebuild.

sweet extra 330! Your gonna love that plane!

**TheTank** · 11-25-2006, 11:18 PM

Pat, are those the headers from the EVO150?

Colonel Klank · 11-26-2006, 08:44 AM

Tank: Yes they are. I think you were the last guy to wrench on this plane. Every time you see a pic of it, the hood is up. It even made the July issue of MA! It has been electrified, gasified, and I even think it was run off of sterno at one time.

Snap: This is a rebuild project for Biff. He knows I have the biggest hammers on the east coast and I know how to use them! We will be making some top secret modifications to it and when we are done, even JAS won't recognize it! Frazier will have to have one and Andy Kane will want security clearance for the project HQ.
I will put you first on the list for test pilot!!! (after me, of course)
