  11. u can have my jigs on monday if u want but they in washington state.
  12. Well thats what i thought that 1.5 is 1 1/2 but not in air plane land....the plans use a tape[my plumer buddy use's in his work}the only mesurement on the tape the same is 1 foot or 2 foot and so no.. there r 10 inches in a foot,so they a little bit longer.so 1.50 in 12ths is 1 and 1/2 but on the plumbers tape 1.5 is 1 and 3/4+a 16th so on the planes it has both inchs in 12ths and inches in 10 th's so look for the decimal piont so if it said cut to 38 inchs i do,but if it said cut to " WAIT"38 = 3 feet + 2 inches,or 3 feet and 2 inches in tenths but that = about 38 and 1/2 or so. O MAN....in chapter 5 where it called out 56, 38,8,22 i read ahead and it said 105 in" min. and i had that so all of them were in 12th's slade help! mike help .mazda buddy 'help. rob u'll need to know this. ??????
  13. Does anybody know what the engine is? All I can see is pipes. [/b] it was a subaru "4 cyl turbo"..the owner said
  14. cut the jigs but the plans mite be wrong. on the bend cut it said mark every 2 in then cut but when i got to the end it was funny. the last mark was 1.55 so its save to say the next one would be 1.50(or the end as it were. but the plans said the end was to be cut to 1 and 1/2. but i think it should have been cut to 1.50 (in th')witch in inches is 1 and 3/4 or so, am i right ? so i'm going out now to glue on 1" to all the boards and re cut the angals so feel free to call..(360-620-5718)

  17. was at the airport and got a chance to talk to the pilot of the now not so hot cozy. i didn't see him go in but was by the radio when the call when't out to clear the run way.witnesses saw a slow climb and didn't think he was going to make it, he then turned back to the runway they said.(there was a plane taking off so it looked like he opted to fly down wind lag and get a shot at the north end,he turned base sharp,nose droped they said. he over shot final,turn back to field and carrer landed it on the pavment,and rolled off on to the grass(i guess there's grass down there)a cfi said. they closed the run way but no debrie was found. 1 hour later after my ground test(72%)i saw him driving away with plane in toe so i stoped him and he said he was ok. he let me get some pic. of him and the plane.i'll up load them shortly. he said after the crash 2 weeks ago(nose gear not out all the way}the engine was running hot so he rejeted it.after take off it ran badly."i guess it was to rich" he said. Iasked him if the taxi test was ok,but he didn't do one.
