Chuck

Uh huh.. Uh huh..

Thanks..

There are three on the Mighty Scura..

I found out way more than I wanted to know with a DNA test..

Well obviously I need to get that. Thanks.

It's a Lario with the Aero engine.

I got yer big jugs right here, pal..

Nice use of red.

I had you down for one. No problemo. That's nine, but I'm now *thinking* about ordering some stock. Naturally, I used it all on the last order.

That's 9. Hopefully it will show up eventually, though.

Awesome, Kostya.. Finally..

True.. true.

That would be 12, Phil.. don't short me. Yeah, on massive projects a guy can't look at the end or he will see how much work is to be done, and never finish it. It has to be, "today.. I'll start fabricating parts for the oleo on the landing gear." Nothing else. After that project is done.. you might think, "Hmmm. maybe I should figure out how to make those aluminum covers that fit over the landing gear struts." One project at a time.

Yeah, that's it.. thanks for that. All airplanes are a bigger job than most realize, but this one is (relatively) easy. I expect to fly it next spring, and will have had something to think about and *do* for a year of staying at home. I spent 12 years scratch building a 1930 Great Lakes from the original factory drawings.. now *that* was a job. 044 by Charles Stottlemyer, on Flickr Needless to say.. I like building airplanes..

We're talking about the ITIs, right? I don't think anyone overhauls them.

Naa, just an ultra light for *something to do* while I'm stuck at home for the foreseeable future. Like this.. Uhh, I give up, I don't know how to embed a video.. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/0cn_RCfI6P8" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>

I can do that. I just bought a bag of powder that color for the airplane I'm building.

Dang! that's a lot of roach clips, Docc. Yeah, the early girls are different from the later as far as nipple access. I made up a rig for the Centauro, and easily used it on the Mighty Scura. When The Kid said he couldn't get to the one on his (now Lowryter's) greenie, I tackled it with a grin. I couldn't get to it, either.

Find nine others, and you are number one.

Oh, I'll make them, but the water jet shop won't do less than 10. It's not worth their (or my) time to make the blanks.

That is why I put the original hole in the extender. I haven't "heard" of anyone going back, though.

Joe was the "wrench" for this Indian in the Cannonball run. Dorcia and I spent the day with him at a stop in Illinois talking Guzzis and what it took to build a reliable Cannonball bike. He's meticulous and knowledgable.. While others were scurrying about working on their machines in the evening, Joe asked the rider, "Everything ok?" The rider said, "Yep." "Have another beer, Chuck." He's the kind of guy you want working on your machine.

Thanks. If I were doing it, I'd cut the shifter off square, make the extension to fit that, chamfer both sides 45 degrees, clamp them down and weld a small bead on both sides. Do a good job, and it would be hardly noticeable.

I've never had the bike running at hookup. Don't know if that is an issue or not.
