I look forward to seeing it at the Graves rally next year.

Yes, that might be the biggest reason you have to put one on the truck - it's definitely the focal point of the whole thing.

Given the small production run, I bet the brush guards were fabricated mostly by hand with a few hardwood jigs and a band iron bender and either riveted or gas welded. With a supply of the same dimension stock and some careful measurements it should be reproduceable.

John Wayne was a Californian. Texas politics are just as dirty as Arkansas politics but the stakes are generally higher relative to the amount of influence being peddled. There is a knee-jerk toward laissez-faire everything that gives excellent cover to any scheme that will be 'good for...

Good to see the two motorcycle battery solution actually works - that was my plan for my 701A.

If they're stamped 24V on the plug and they popped, then they're defective, simple as that. There are no voltages higher than 24V available on the set when it's not running. I think it's extremely likely that they just grabbed the wrong internals out of the bin and they were actually 12V glow...

I will confirm most of what Isaac said. The big deals are to make sure the fuel tank is clean, purge the fuel lines with good fuel, and then verify that the engine turns through easily by hand, which can keep you from breaking a stuck injection pump.

my 002A has one as well.

That looks nice!

Yes, that's a Boss Hoss. You can make out the SB Chevy valve cover and exhaust manifold.

I hadn't bothered to look up the recent history of the drones since the missions had been declassified some years ago - Didn't know that mission 3's drone had been recovered by the Chinese. Note that there's no date mentioned of the recovery, only that it moved into the museum from the junkyard...

- Wikipedia Still don't know what the other one is. I know the museum has a Taiwanese F-5, but those intakes don't look right. [later] Found it: a CAC/PAC JF-17 Thunder. Probably a dimensional model or prototype given the markings. It's the answer to the question: what do you get when the...

Top is a recent Russian design. Bottom looks like maybe an F-5 (T-38 fighter variant used as a cheapie export fighter and Red Flag/Top gun aggressor subbing in for the small MiGs).

The itty-bitty ones tend to be infrared control and have very short range.

I've also always been picky about being able to inspect and sweep flues myself. Grew up in the north country and we did actually have a chimney fire once in the 10" dia steel flue of the camp's Franklin stove and were awfully lucky that the tarred flat roof didn't catch on fire. After that, we...

The two-spaces thing is an old rule from typing class. A left over from fixed pitch fonts. It is going away as people use word processing software, or typesetting software that figures out all that stuff for you.

I'd keep it too!

Hypen at the end: screened solenoid-operated or pressure-operated shutters. Used for generator sheds, etc. for ventilation only when the unit is on. Screened meaning 'with window screen' so as to keep critters out.

Cool. I've learned something I didn't know about Cushman brakes...

If you do find you need more ventilation in summer, I'd probably put some screened solenoid- or pressure-operated shutters down low and a roof turbine on top. Another option that does the same thing is just to cut a ridge vent or cupola in to the roof. You can use duct butterflies on the roof...
