    Alaskan Bush Pilot STOL Competition.....

    Hey Dave; Did you get to fly a C-310? The company that I flew for in Southern Ca. used a Mooney and the C-310 depending on the need. We used to own a 210 years ago. Ours was not turbocharged. When I was instructing, I used the C-152, C172, C182 and C-210. Also the Mooney M20J (201). Piper...

    Diesel prices are falling.

    Main reason to fill up is to keep moisture out. You are right that we probably will not have any humidity until November.

    Diesel prices are falling.

    $4.18 tonight at the Indian Gambling place. $4.50 everywhere else. When they hit $3.99 I will fill up the aux tank. Anyone know of a good additive to keep diesel fresh? I might not use the diesel for a couple of months.

    Thinking of trading in your diesel on gas??

    The Falcon is a 1960, with a 428SCJ, straight axle, C-6, 9" posi, and nitrous. :lmao Besides all four tires blowing out, and crushing the uni-body, it might work pulling the 5th wheel. :lmao With the 10 gallon fuel cell, frequent stops for (racing) gas would be a bummer, but it is street...

    Thinking of trading in your diesel on gas??

    That is an interesting point of view. I never thought of it that way. I just pick the vehicle that I want to drive to do the job that needs to be done. Example: I do not use the focus to pull the 5th wheel. (PSD) Example: I do not use the PSD to race at the drag strip. (Falcon, 428SCJ)...

    Thinking of trading in your diesel on gas??

    There are many of us who have good jobs or good retirement and can afford gas or diesel at twice the present cost. I for one just do not like knowing that I am filling the pockets of people who want to destroy America. Also when we go shopping, we look for the best deal. "best quality for the...

    Alaskan Bush Pilot STOL Competition.....

    Back in 1978, there was a Regional precision flying contest held at the Nut Tree "Vacaville" California. These guys would have done very well. I won the Northern Calif. contest and was in the regionals, and placed 2nd. Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Nevada and So. Cal winners were included. The...

    Thinking of trading in your diesel on gas??

    No problem here,,,, just buy a economy gas car for everyday driving and keep the PSD for when you need it to haul or tow something. Example: Hot August Nights car show in Reno is 220 miles away. To drive there and back with the PSD is about $116 at present diesel prices. Our gas Focus on...

    Diesel prices are falling.

    Diesel prices coming down from $4.80 to $4.25 I might have to take our truck and fill up the in bed aux. tank. We will be going over to the coast soon, after the fires get put out.

    Speaking of hot summers.............

    Some peoples misery is others delight. We have not seen a drop of rain for four months. To me, 65-70 degrees is perfect weather.

    Where to start?

    14.4 mpg seems very low. 17-18 seems more normal at 1500 rpm. Why one truck will get 14 mpg and another will get 18 mpg stumps me, unless it is the drivers style that makes the difference. :dunno I would get the dealership to put that in writing about not voiding the warranty. I have had...

    After a Port job from Keith Craft, Intake flow will be around 330 exhaust 180-220 at .600 lift. I'll post pictures as we go. The land cruiser project sounds like fun. I hope you start on it. What engine are you going to swap into it?
