Thx again for the z-channel!

Not a problem! Sorry I couldn't stay longer at your hangar....

Your lights are looking TOIGHT!!!

Here's where I keep mine. I make it a point to close and lock the lids each and every time I go to get out rivets. However, I am sure I will dump them sometime... I am not looking forward to that day.

Congrats Smitty!!

It took over a month to get it here from Van's after they had it ready for shipment but it was worth the wait. It arrived last Wednesday night. My kids couldn't wait to pop open the big box and see all the goodies. It was hard for me to stay out of my step son's way as I wanted in there even quicker...

I seen a post there on Friday entitled RV-17. It was about a guy or group of people building a ?/3 scale B-17. A number of replies to the post... all positive. I posted my reply. Went back to read further replies and it was gone... vanished... dissapeared! Not sure why other than maybe it was becaus...

Drivin the jeep eh Captain? Too bad ... I would imagine you were looking forward to another bike trip. Jeep would be the next best thing though assuming you can take the top off. I will be up there on Wednesday and staying until late Saturday night. Looking forward to seeing you again... as well as ...

Hey guys! Count me in for two.

Looking forward to having a beer with y'all and eating a side of beef as well!!

LOL!!

Ouch that was a good one! Stupid brain... I forgot about that little mishap!

Please reinstate the 'good' email privileges again!

I think I would rather be camping (although I am not a camping man like Chad points out). Chad brought up a good point about being spoiled by not having any rain last year during my first camping trip to OSH. So the dorms don't sound so bad now... but I will miss being really close to everything tho...

Heck, I think about women and my RV project all day long... that probably explains why I don't get a darn thing done at work!

Man what an awesome trip that would be! Glad I had the opportunity to meet while on your trip!

Very cool!

Congrats Chad!

Hehe I just noticed how I spelled fuel in the subject line... I are good at english skills

Anyway... thanks for the information guys. I like the idea of hooking up an electric fuel pump for a trial run.

After reading one of the recent RVators @ Van's website I got a little concerned over my vent lines. My concern is that when I leak tested my tanks I recall that it took a little bit of pressure build up from the air pump before the balloon would inflate. When the air finally did start to rush in .....

Carl... what time do you want to meet? Do you want to take the tools as well?

I am going to stay back... I know this guy that will be gone this week and he has an almost completed RV7 in his garage with a pretty little red and silver lycoming all strapped on.... All I need to do is back in, hook up and drive away!
