    I used Stewart Systems on my Skyraider and they have a series of DVD's that they sent me.They were super helpful from the prep work all the way through the painting process.

    Looks good Joey,I always wanted a Pacer just never worked out.Put a few hours on a Vagabond took me awhile before I could keep it straight but you will have no problems.Around here a annual would be no where near 2500.00. Hope it works out for you.Randy

  17. horsepower added a post in a topic High idle   

    Try choking a little with your enrichment valve,if idle slows down and runs smooth you you may have a leak or too lean.You can spray boots with carb spray while its running and see if RPMs change.If you put the 45 jets back in does it run ok then? Randy

  24. horsepower added a post in a topic Vans Lawsuit   

    Its the same thing thats going on and has been with the gun manufacturers.We no longer can hold anyone accountable for their actions.The lawyers along with the Government have to step in and tell us we didnt do anything wrong that its the fault of the manufacturer.It will only get worse if Hillary gets in.Kit prices will triple for all the liability insurance they will have to carry.Just another piece of our freedom chiseled away from us
