Bob, the thread is long in the tooth, Mike's post was made last June, Bruce just resurected it. I would bet Gathering Cinco is in June as well this year. I MIGHT have my panel back together by then. :bang: Mike - Correct, this thread referred to last years RV Fly-in. I don't have an exact date for ...

CJ-

I will have to settle on only one ice-landing this year. Enjoy Rangeley tomorrow!

What relatively crowd pleasing style should I look at, or what brew should I try to clone? My vote is IPA... The crowd seemed to suck those up first. Of course CJ would say that. Do you even remember that last IPA you had a Mitchapalooza? :lol: :lol: :lol: My vote is for a strong Belgian style Sais...

Zach,

Welcome to RiverBangers! What stage is your 6A kit in? Feel free to ask a bunch of questions, we have a few 6A builders who frequent this site.

Anytime brother!

Maybe I will have to do a summer fly in up at the Bungalow this year? We could INUNDATE the place with RV's!?!

CJ

I'm in! Love the Bungalow in the summertime!

CJ,

The Sunday beer tasting is definitely happening again this year on Sunday. It was too much of a success to be one and done!

Thanks for your help volunteering last year. It was all the volunteers that made it happen. I just had the silly idea RV'ers might like craft beer

Keep it simple - Builder Name, Model and Serial Number.

My Model is a "Bullock Special" and Serial number of 001. The Tax Man knows what an RV is worth...but not a Bullock Special!

This is the last pic I have of Wyatt but definitely not my last encounter with the best dog ever. Superb dog, mediocre owner!

PS - Hey CJ - Sweet hat! I wish I could get a VP hat as nice as yours

CJ-

Great idea...I'm in.

Who's flying Billy's plane????

- Mikey

What's wrong with UNPAINTED?!?!?! I think you just offended CJ, VLAD and Myself!

Any preview pics of your paint scheme?

Vlad - I almost forgot about that taxiway at Hawthorne Feather....no wonder my back's been killing me all week!

I was browsing the interwebs last night (Friday) and noticed some of the RivetBangers and New England Flash Mob members were heading up to Alton Bay, NH to land on their recently opened Ice Runway - it's the only FAA approved ice runway in the US. Alton Bay does a great job updating everyone of it's...

Hi Joe, I rolled my own wiring harness. I didn't find it all that difficult. The hardest thing for me was putting together the wiring diagram for how the center stack was connected (Audio Panel, Garmin 430, 2nd comm + transponder). Once I had the diagram made, it took me about 4-6 hours to get it al...

OK fellers today I sourced the cable and lugs. Price - free. Can't afford to pay more just logged another 1.4 h on the hobbs today. Will it ever end? :) Lookin' good VLAD! How large is that wire...it doesn't look to be 2 gauge? I dont think the insulation material makes much difference for the engi...

CJ,

Out of curiosity, what's wrong with the screw-type lugs compared to the crimp lugs?

Vlad wrote: Added; is that red locktite?

Yup, red lock tite...good eye! I also check it's tightness every annual.

Hi Vlad, I used Welding Wire, which is composed of a number of very fine copper wires and has a lot more flex than the Tefzel wire you use, on top of better conductivity. I think the stiffness of the wire is a large contributor to your issue. PM me your address and I'll send you a couple of feet of ...

2016 was about average for me in terms of hours - just about 100, which is about what I have been averaging for the last 5 years. This year took me on a lot of fun adventures: March - Beer Exchange with CJ http://rvplane.com/showthumb.php?picname=DSCN4819.JPG April - Sun 'n' Fun with Peter Barrett. ...
