    Send me your number again . I got a new phone and lost some contacts . I'm always at webster swap meet and guys are getting crazy now with the gadgets and there bikes . Could be something to definitely look into doing.

    Man thats cool ! I'm not really into gadgets and tech stuff but I might have to get one . I can get the Top gun soundtrack playing and pretend I'm in a f-14 hahaaa . Who wants to be my Iceman ? Robb can you make me a speedo tach type deal for my motorcycle or is that something that can't be done ? I ride a bare bones Kawasaki bobber no front brake and suicide shift . It's done up old school and the tank was pinstriped by my buddy .  I could figure out somewhere to hide if haha . Om enough non airplane talk I got to excited over electronics for once .

    Never hurts to have a mechanical pump running full time and use the electric as backup

    I am planning on building myself a new nose gear . Once I do one I can duplicate them all day . Mine has a little lean in it from the previous owner.

    That smart saw could be a money making toy. Wonder what the build cost is for it amd how computer friendly you have to be?

    Vg's on the bottom of the wing gives faster cruise?  Please do tell I never used vg's on my planes but going faster will make me interested

    Hat's off to both of you for building those . My generation is all about computers except me. I could never get my brain to wrap around computer type stuff . My brother on the other hand builds all kinds of transmitter type stuff , maybe I could ask him about trying a bootleg transmitter?

    Someone needs to make the transmitter and undercut the market then.

    Since I'm electronically handicapped is this all you need to be legal?  I'm planning on holding out but if this gets me in compliance I have a tablet that collects dust and could use it . Either way I'm still not rushing to do this on a plane that would barely get 10k

    I've dodged that stuff so far . Came close being impaled by a handlebar coming up short on a ramp . Mostly limbs and my head took the abuse .

    I'm trying to enjoy it but so far my left side has had 5 surgeries alone and counting . In 40 years I'll be happy to just be able to walk.

    I hear of good deals but whenever they're around I don't have the cash for them . I guess that's what happens when you have a wife and 2 daughters haha. Either way I enjoy finding people good deals . I think I'm even the youngest at the airport . (36)
