Re: LINDA SCHORR (widow of past NMPRA president Ron Schorr)

I never met Linda, but I do recall Ron from when I dabbled in some F1 back in the late 80's - early 90's with Jim Kelly and Bob Dible. Bob and I went to college together at K-State, and he and Jim conspired to get me to try Formula one. Sorry to hear the news about Linda, godspeed to her family and ...

DX18 Stealth with case, strap, charger

I am selling a nice DX18 Stealth, which is a G2 radio with voice and wireless trainer. Comes with the original black DX18 Stealth case, charger, strap, manual, uncut sticker sheet. Nothing wrong with it, just do more flying with my NX10 these days, and have more radios than I need. Since I took the ...

Re: Picking race dates

I tend to agree, Gary - local races are more likely to interest new folks, instead of just the same old hard-core racers. Hard to get someone real interested when they find if they want to race, they have to start traveling, etc. right off the bat.

Re: 9x6E Prop for EF1 and 424E

anyone want to buy a handful of out of package 8x8 props?

I have a batch for local races that haven't been used up, not sure what I'll do with them now. Not sure how many I have, but it's quite a few.

Re: THANKSGIVING

And happy leftovers to all! Got to take my 9 year old grandson flying for a while Thursday afternoon. We do n t get to go out much, he lives a few hours away, but seems to enjoy it when we do get a chance!

Happy holidays to all

Re: Wanted: Nelson SS

Hope that helps broaden your search a bit. While #3-56 aren't nearly as common as the #2-56 are, they do exist. My SS Nelsons are set up with front mount needle valves, so if I ever drop them on a plane for anything I'll probably be doing the 3-56 screws and remote needles as well. Cheers, Gordon

Re: Wanted: Nelson SS

#3-56 aren't the most common screws out there, but they do exist.

Hope that helps broaden your search a bit, as the older engines like the short strokes tended to have the front mounted needle valves. At least my SS Nelsons do.

Re: Wanted: Nelson SS

for what it's worth, you can remove the needle valve and the friction nut from the standard needle valve, and use a short 3-56 screw with some blue locktite on it to seal up the NV threads, and you have a spraybar compatible with a remote needle.
