    I have to get some help to dig it out - maybe take some time. Let me know what you want to give for it in good, used condition including or not including manifold parts - you have to determine what is airworthy.LEAF wants $250 for just one part of the manifold.

    Thanks for sharing. Keep 'em coming.  Flying a big-bird w/a coordinated, well trained crew as a well oiled machine gett'in it done as a team -- there's nothing like it in the world that compares is there?

    Sorry about that Leni - This shoulder injury has caused the muscles in my right arm to dry up - PIA to not be able to do the things I could do 3 years ago. A gallon is about my limit - Not drinking, Just lifting! Still have pains

    Bob has a Brolga prop on the Mod I that performs very well.  But you can't get the prop anymore. 
     
    If its going to be spring, I may just fab one of my own based off the KF one.  Should take more than a couple hours, I was just being lazy is all

    OK - Now you have snagged the old man - What is a magic prop? If you don't want it made public, then PM me. I had a security clearance issued.
    Leni,
    I probably cant get to the engine until spring when I can get some help - My right arm does good to lift a Bud Lite, and that's about all I can do with it.

    Doug, I think he used it.  He just sold his Mod I and Mod III and I think I'm gonna get the Amphib from him.

    Leni, check with AkBob. IIRC he posted a 'wanted' for one of the under panel belcranks a few years ago and I sent him mine but I think he may have got a second one too.

    yes sir, thats what I am thinking of.   A picture wont hurt, but I am sure they are the same as the set up that Bob has.  I can built a copy of it, but if I can buy one its a lot easier for me

    If TJay don't want the complete setup, I will let you have it - There are ears on two tubes under the IP, and they are what supports the pivot lever - is that what you are thinking of?   Maybe I can take a photo?

    Yup, that was 'fix'. Here's a pic of my old model 3.

    Do you have a picture of that. It sounds like what I have on my Avid. I have a Vernier throttle cable pushing a lever mechanism mounted to the top of the engine mount. The lever pulls my carb throttle cables from a couple inches closer to the pivot. It seemed to work well.  I will try to get a picture when I am at the airport this weekend.

    If you want to part with the throttle control I would gladly shoot some money your way. I like the way kf did it versus the was mine is. It makes a much smoother throttle system!

    For those with actual winter weather...some Avid videos to pass the time
    Since the flying has slowed down and we seem to have a lot of lurkers I thought I would start a thread with some videos to pass the time. These are all a few years old now but thought I would group them into one place.

    Travis AFB doing what we do best
    This video was played today at a Commanders Call and they mentioned it was on Vimeo so I did a search and found it tonight. Travis is unique because it is the only base in Air Mobility Command that flies three different Major Weapon Systems (C-5, KC-10, C-17). Last summer a company came out and did most of this air to air footage. Some really neat shots and just a small glimpse into the world of the amazing men and women of the 60th Operations Group. Enjoy!

    About all I know about a 2-stroke is how to take it off of the firewall
