Light bulbs

Post by jrenwick »

This is good! But it there's always one more poster who brings up Hitler and the Nazis, signaling the end of the thread. (Godwin's law: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin's_law ) :lol:

Observant mathematicians will see lurking in the above post a proof, by induction, that it takes an infinite number of internet addicts to change a light bulb. :wink:

Happy [wheel] Landings,

:twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

So I use MOGAS 100% of the time that I land with Full flaps on my SOLID axles. And most times I mix MMO in the MOGAS just for fun. I fly with my window open so I don't need CO detection all the will my back seat is removed and there is NO paperwoek to cover it. I've got the fastest A model cause it's got dihederal and B model flaps. I'm reinstalling them Goodyear breaks and crosswind landing gear and who needs P-ponk mods when you can just weld them gear legs in. Oh yea I'm gonna finally cure that tailwheel steering by gettin rid of that no good Scott 3200 tailwheel and installing a Maule. And one last thing, The best thing I've found for removing the bugs from my wing leading edge is the air passing over the wing on the next flight. Who cares about squashed bugs anyway :!:

Let the responses fly :twisted:

PS I always 3 point my landings unless I do a wheel landing.

Bruce, there's a reason they clipped the wings off your Cub! Careful, or we're gonna do the same thing to your Cessna! :lol:

Bruce... man that is FUNNY! :lol: This forums discussions from the last 6 months all summed up in one short paragraph!! A few things that I do in addition to what you listed... I put Marvel Mystery oil in my gas AND oil... use recapped tires... buy my aircraft parts from NAPA Airmotive... use ANY frequency as an air-to-air to talk to all my friends... ELT batteries? 8O What ELT?

This could go on and on... and boy this could REALLY get some pilots fired up!

My only guestion to you is why you go all the way to NAPA for the quality parts when I'm sure the local WallyMart has an Aeromotive department and if your talkin air to air you must have one of those useful load stealing radios installed.

Which reminds me, Tractor Supply has gone up on their 4509 Tung Sol bulbs!! It's cheaper to buy genuine GE's outta Trade-A-Plane now! :evil:
Why give all them Chinese our jobs if their gonna charge the same as we do ourselves? I'd rather keep Ole GAR's neighbors employed (so at least they don't have time to break in and steal his stuff before he can give it to me!) :lol:
