    T-1A Jayhawk - "TTTS" (Mitsubishi/Beech/Raytheon/Hawker)

    I love hearing how usernames are chosen. Thanks for sharing that. After WWII there were restrictions placed on Japan regarding many products inbound, outbound, and of their own production and use. Their military was limited to SELF DEFENSE capabilities ONLY. My first exposure to Mitsubishi...

    T-1A Jayhawk - "TTTS" (Mitsubishi/Beech/Raytheon/Hawker)

    Thanks, Rory. Sounds like a great place to kick back and plane-watch in a lawnchair. With that corridor so low to your dirt do you have drone restrictions there? Designing and building the MU-300's (predecessor of the T-1) was a high point in my career(s). Met many good people, some...

    Fuel system trouble, need help

    Check ALL your fuel lines and their connections. Rubber hoses dry out and crack. Mechanical joints loosen. You may be sucking air and/or allowing fuel to siphon back to the tank if there is a pinhole or larger leak.

    AH-HA ! ! ! We have now confirmation that this Green Iron Disease IS CONTAGIOUS by close contact ! ! ! Glad you now have your own WITH POWER STEERING! We also started with a Deuce. When we got our XM818 Dianna quickly claimed it for her own as well - Largely because of that power steering!

    Question for Moderator and members about frozen insurance thread

    To the best of my recollection and understanding..... The problem that manifest itself so often with insurance discussions was less about insurance companies, their policies, rates, coverage, and such; nor about their many various "protocols" found in our 50 States' laws and legislation than is...

    It's a MOBILE launch system. MY DREAM..... I want one as my new DAILY DRIVER (indication of how bad the drivers around here are) and to remain "neighbor-friendly" I also want an Atlas Missile Silo that I can dig up and reset in my back yard in which to park this BEAST. Granted, parking it...

    Adding a Turbo to a non with side exhaust
