Gentlemen, how about a little compassion for those of us on the Champ side of things who are physically(size) challenged? If I flew with one of you Chief guys we would have to get a marriage license! Or at least be on very good terms! I flew with a Luscombe friend one time. Every time he made a throttle adjustment he rubbed my knee. I warned him if it happened one more time we might have a problem. He pulled the throttle over the airport and didn't touch it again till we landed! Sky, what is your carb doing? They are real simple, and not much to go wrong with them. Every time we send a part out to be redone, we end up learning how to fix it ourselves and bring the quality control back in house. No one cares about your hide as much as you do! The guy setting at a bench somewhere else ain't going to fly it! DJ

After that picture of you and Mark at Middletown, you shouldn't have a problem in a Chief then. You should be getting married! :shock:

Donald, at least you didn't mention the stretch marks. Probably never go away. The ongoing Shame is the worst part. You all notice how hard I am holding on? How about we all rag Nate(Tater) for a while, at least I am working on something! Glad you all came over Saturday, I was getting a little bored having to stay around the house with my bad knee. BTW, Never, Never turn your back on Mark! D.J.
