No, Dan's like us....too stupid to quit!
He sold stuff for another guy that quit a few years ago.

Kurt, I concur with Dennis that it's one of Jerry's Kaze Killers.

Leo, that looks a Lyle Larson Kelly. Rare airplane, not many were made.

I’ve watched multiple outboard servos fail with grommets, and I’ve personally had and seen others use them without grommets successfully. I’ve also seen servos fail using grommets on single aileron servo setups, elevator, rudder, and throttle. Grommets are completely useless if the servo case comes ...

“If we would approve redundant servos with no grommets on the ailerons, why would we not on the elevator/rudder servos on a v tail configured airplane?” With a v-tail, if you lose one you’re also losing Half your control along another axis (either yaw or pitch). Safely landing a plane with one ailer...

Over the years, several people (to include myself) have used methods of mounting outboard servos that don’t allow for grommets. I personally used “servo frame” mounts intended for gliders in my Stregas for tons of flights. I’ve also seen servos literally glued in without issue. With the margin on ha...

Ray, Remember that unlike F3D, there are committees that approve airplanes for Q40 and F3T. As Terry said, Jim Allen verifies the cross section during the approval process for Q40 (as does the FAI/F3T committee). It’s considerably wider than the required 3”, which helps to meet the cross section rul...

I remember seeing that golf cart float up in the air and land perfectly on that table.. It was a miracle.

Assuming you weren’t smoking anything funny, how many Rolling Rocks had you drank at that point?

Well...NO!

Just to clarify a bit on Jim's comment about the new freeway for those driving from Tucson. The new freeway is the 202. It intersects I-10 just north of the Wild Horse Pass Raceway (formerly Firebird Raceway), just as you get into Chandler. I used it this weekend and it's a big time saver over drivi...

Paintball sounds fun!
The almost guaranteed way to take a plane down with a paintball gun...shoot the pilot’s hands!
