Coopers seemed pretty good a few years ago. Of course we just flew 1100nm to try it. Crawfish festival was good too.

Cash is King!

There's a few of us still here.

I'm VFR only but also struggle with crossing the passes going from 8u8(townsend) to 97MT(cabincreek) or S27(Kalispell city). SO here is a little helper to "view the routes". Webcams...Some are fixed direction cams others can pan tilt zoom. http://www.bigskyfishing.com/Web-Cams/Web-Cams.htm

Affordable Boat Act_* The government has just passed a new law called: "The affordable boat act" declaring that every citizen MUST purchase a new boat, by April 2014. These "affordable" boats will cost an average of $24,000-$124,000 each. This does not include taxes, trailers...

yes it's worth it....what ever the cost. rough day at work, head out to the hangar on the way home and take a zip around the frozen lake in the setting light. back in the hangar 0.3hrs later, refreshed. Yep worth it.

Incorrect...Technically you can do all the mods and repairs on your EAB. Realistically, without the proper training or skill set you maybe shouldn't...but you could.

Congrats on the new bird. You two will have a good time with it. The RV series is fun to fly, fast but also economical. I like the Red, too. I bet you pick up more than 2 kts with the upper gear fairings installed. Your -8A should cruise 175kts TAS on 8gph or so at altitude.

HaHa...it was funny I pushed my plane under the wing to snap some pics and several of the "ol'Glory" crew grabbed cameras and were snapping pictures too.

KDUX is a nice fuel stop. Cheap fuel, courtesy car and you never know what else might land. April 2012 I stopped there....glad I fueled up, I think this guy was draining the tank when I got by from lunch.

There's an 8 for sale up here, but you're looking for a "8A" correct? Also I think the asking price may be high.

That's what I would do. Some RV owner, might know someone who knows somebody that might sell. And an ad on VAF will find them.

Keep looking Jay. The right one is out there looking for you.

That's what I thought. I couldn't figure out why you would be promoting a Deltahawk when your have your own engine/firewall business to promote. It's almost worst than copyright enfringement, it's more fraud since you are in a competing business.

Ben are you putting a Deltahawk in your 801? I see they have your pic on their website. http://www.deltahawkengines.com/Firewall09%20Zenith.shtml
