Double posted. Where is the ability to delete my own posts? Every time I reply to a post, it double posts. Easiest way I guess is to not post any more, but if anyone knows why this is happening and how to correct/delete, please help a brother out! :)

A quick tip for getting the flooring to "fit" the edge is to get is as close as possible, then take on of the old fashioned "compass" tools for drawing a circle. Place the metal point against the wall and the pencil on the flooring wood and draw your line. Then trim to the pencil line and it...

double posted. Where is the delete function now?

I would guess the PVC is for cooling/defrosting ducts since it sits right under the canopy. Simple things are still the best, no matter how much the overall airframe costs. I remember using parachute cord, masking tape and white paint to create a yaw line on the nose of F-4D fighters so they...

I definitely would have taken a ride in that open observer's cockpit! Imagine what that would be like.

I'm curious about the Nazi Flags and Locomotives painted on under the canopy. I wasn't aware that the T-6 was ever armed for air-to-air or air-to-ground. I could believe the Locomotives with some rocket pods, but still, if you have any background info about it for this plane, I'd appreciate...

2 thoughts: 1. "out of the mouth of babes..." (referencing the number of posts only, not age) Good, logical comment/question. 2. Some one needs to introduce that GL guy to a ratchet handle. Although it would sure be a PITA to have to do all of that just to dump a load of whatever each...

That green reminds me of the color our vehicles were in USAFE, 1973 - 1975. Made it easy to cover up the encounters with immovable objects with a hammer, some bondo, and a spray bomb. Having the offending driver on the sanding block made them more careful when they got to drive again! Good...

Aww aint it cute? That A3 and A2 got together and produced a little C3, then it looks like they went to the church to make him legal... Nice truck! I am so jealous! :beer:

One thing to remember about these small amps is to turn them off, as they will drain the battery. DAMHIK.

Check motor mounts for wear and replace cab mount bushings if worn out. Looking good!

Branded! Next thing you know he'll be sporting a tatoo or something...

Simple fact, Pilot error. Landed too long, didn't maintain aerodynamic braking long enough, (probably due to running out of runway), didn't notice the EOR coming and failed to initiate go-around. Why he didn't use the drouge chute is another question as well. I didn't see anything close to...

You might want to check out some of 100dollarman's build threads. He does some excellent work on bobbing trucks!

The reason they get away with it is because people are so willing to accept it as a "way of doing business" with GL. If more people stood up and said this ain't right, and started hounding management, then things could change for the better. The ready willingness of some to bend over and take...
