Guy in another country sent my friend a cashiers check for $100,000 for his airplane unseen....50 grand more than the asking price. Only catch was, my friend was supposed to send this guy the change, $40,000, keep $10,000 for the trouble. The $40,000 was to be wired to a specific account overseas. My friend almost did it, but his bank discovered that the cashiers check was no good. Word to the wise....a cashiers check is not even safe anymore. ----- Original Message ----- From: Malcolmbru@aol.com Sent: Saturday, March 10, 2007 8:02 PM Subject: Re: Kitfox-List: Barnstormers (Warning) me too I also have been talking to this David guy from ingland on the net.

I would say it all depends on your flight circumstances. In my personal case I tow my plane home after every flight so folding the wings is a necessity. If I were flying out of an airport with good tie downs or even better hangar space then folding would be a total waste of time.

Thankyou for the flowers Torgier.=0A=0ABut to top off all that sweat, I wen t for a test flight yesterday, intending to fly about 140 miles for the $10 0 hambuger. Got about 10 miles out and the engine started missing. Just l ight shudders first and then slowly more persistant...and then shudders tha t made me back off the throttle and ease it back to the airport. Happily a ccepted a short and straight in approach to the nearest runway even though it was downwind. The question last night was how to part out the airplane. =0A=0AThis morning a check of the engine revealed the problem. A spark pl ug with a broken porcelean. New set of plugs and all is well again.
