Remember the old Gilligan's Island episode where the Professor determined that a space flight would travel overhead? The castaways wrote "SOS" in logs and set them ablaze but Gilligan crashed into it and it read "SOL" to the astronauts?

Yes, a Scot 2000 is 5 or 6-ish pounds depending on the tire (also in the day they rounded /estimated a lot) the steel skid with a shoe is pretty heavy. The 3200 is about 8 pounds.

Amazon has plastic fishing bobbers 25 for $10.00, what'cha think, 200-300 to spell it out?

Per Sensenich: For a W72CK44, "W" is wood, "72" is diameter, "C" is the blade profile, "K" is the drill pattern, "44" is the pitch. I'm less than impressed, because the employee contradicted no less than three previous company memos on the subject.

Growing up, my father flew DC-3s, and then C-46s for Gene Zerkel and Duane Zantop in Fairbanks Alaska. Then John Coghill, owner of a fuel company and later a State Senator, bought one of the Zantop brother's 46s and dad flew fuel oil all over the state in it. All his friends were pilots. Two of...

How, or does it differ from a W72CK44? (I know the W was added in '68 or so.) Does that K mean anything? The specs look identical. An old copy of P-170 doesn't list the CK and new revisions list both but with fewer applications and...
