Before and After

[asra]

Just back in the air after 3 months in the shed. The stick had to be replaced so a good time to bite the bullet and do all those 'other jobs'. See if you can spot the differences. (yes yes outdoors...grass.. more oil in the bottle..)Before:-Image Insert: 63.82

Well done Dave, Looks great, and good to see your flying again.I think the mod's you have made make for a better and more predicatable machine. Looking forward to seeing it fly !!!!!!Should have mine ready in two weeks time, and will bring it to Lethbridge.Safe Flying !!! Regards Sam. []

Great Dave I am glad we got you up and away before I headed to Arnham land to set up this Raf 2000.[] It sounds like you are enjoying the changes.I have only seen a few drops of rain sibce I have been here!!!! Locals that have been here for 30 years have seen nothing like this before.[]I pulled up the Ballarat weather this morning and it is a lovely 18 degrees!!!![^]I will be home within a couple of days. Tomorrow morning we go in a Cessna to Jabiru, and then drive the 295k's to Darwin, and I hop on the Virgin flight a little after midnight.The wx is hot and sweaty, then hot and sweaty, then hot and sweaty again!!!!!!!!!Aussie Paul.[]www.firebirdgyros.com

Yep, a Rosco stick and his bellcrank that the push rods go to. Absolute top workmanship and design. The mount its on and the other stuff is my fault. [:I] Hey Sam, wanna put one of those strobes in your pocket when you come to Lethbridge? I think mine is ornamental for all its effectiveness.Dave

[asra]

why not use a Bensen type pump stick? Too many things to break on that one IMHOjust my two cents

[asra]

Dave did you give the email i sent you from your profile the other day if not can you rip one of to me, got a couple of questions to ask you..bones_70@bigpond.comMark

why not use a Bensen type pump stick? Too many things to break on that one IMHORon, the stick setup is the one thing thats not going to break as it has had many thousands of hours of actual testing built into it unlike many things we see advertised and promoted.You never know how far you can go, till you get there !

[birdy]

Got it Bones, just gota copy another one for ya.Ignorance is bliss............but only till you realise you were.Ingratitude stinks.......be generous carefully.
