nemesisnxt added a post in a topic Avid Airdale with Harley engine on barnstormers
Not gonna buy it, but dang is that cool!
I’ve owned a couple Harley’s in my life, they are better bikes than their reputation. Nostalgic, traditional, American. Sure, most jap and euro bikes will smoke ‘em, but that wasn’t the point.

nemesisnxt added a topic in Avidfoxflyers General Hangar
So, I got my BasicMed exam...Appearantly I didn’t read the extent of the exam, and to my surprise my doctor needed to look at my anus. What the heck? Why on earth does the FAA care about my anus? Pucker factor? Ability to grip the seat in an emergency? I promised the doc it was there, but it didn’t matter what I said.
I just feel so dirty... needed to tell someone. Maybe there are more of you that experienced this too, maybe we need a therapy group.
But seriously, what the hell FAA?! Any doctors on the forum that can throw out a guess?

Photos in the link. I contacted him via Barnstormers. He sent me this link and just reiterated “its very basic”.

You Said It Can’t Be Done, But Here It Is!Gentlemen,
Did you see this add on Barnstormers?

525 empty with a 912! Anyone have information on this particular plane?
Thoughts? Speculation? Lies? BS?

nemesisnxt added a post in a topic Mangy Fox Video?
That area looks like a hell of a lot of fun. Just wrapped up a week at the Reno Air Races, and as much as I love seeing guys blow their hard earned money and putting their lives on the line, I think I’d rather be at a light sport/ultralight event.

This place is a dump. You'd think with the taxes, regulations, tree huggers, progressives that this liberal Mecca would be utopia. Far from it. Ya, I'm biased too!

Oakland To Do (Aviation preferred)Stuck in Oakland for at least anothet 24 hours, drove out late last night to fix a Falcon 50EX. Parts in order....
Looking for things to do, prefer aviation related and on a mechanics budget.
Headed over to the Oakland Aviation Museum now, there's a kitfox there.
Any suggestions?

Posting expired.
I reached out to him a couple times with no reply.
Maybe he was just listing it to appease his significant other with no intent to sell?

It's a Model IV speedster according to the seller. Still a good deal if you get it for under $10k, I think.

NV is going the other way, freakin California overflow and Bloomberg backed agenda. Legally I have to get a background check to borrow a gun from a family member or friend. I carry a TCP 738 .380 auto. Small, but it makes a reallg loud noise when you pull the trigger.

nemesisnxt added a post in a topic Looking for N618GZ info
Reported as 533lbs empty on Tweety Bird with a 912ULS. Not bad. Climb rate/angle must be amazing!
What's a Jabiru 2200 installation, 40lbs, 50lbs, (or?) lighter than a 912?
So lets say 490lbs with a Jab in the same cowless, open aft fuselage configuration, right? Can a Jab hang out in free air with a cooling plenum?
So lets say I stick a cowl on it and cover the aft fuselage. That can't possibly weigh more than 60lbs, right?
Voilá! 550lb KF-3 with a four stroke.
Maybe use the Model 4 ribs that he has and improve the speed of the little frankin-plane by 10mph to take even more advantage of the high RPM Jabiru.
Now the near impossible part: finding a low to mid time 2200 jab at a decent price...

Looking for N618GZ infoGents,
Looking for information regarding N618GZ "Tweety Bird" STOL Kitfox 3 built and owned by Tom Tschantz.
http://www.ashleyncoffey.com/182-2/
The most important information I would like is the aircraft's empty weight.
Thanks in advance!
That model 3 is still for sale in Reno, and I'm circling back to see if a 912 with a 500lb useful is possible.
