Another suggestion would be to rent a U-haul and fit it all inside or call
Andy Haaden, his number is on Barnstormers / Services, who runs an aircraft
delivery service. He brought mine home last year at $1.25 loaded mile (that
was before the gas increases). Takes care of everything and is cheaper than
breaking the plane on the way.

Thanx Bob...
Those are two more thoughts I also had... I'm combining a family Christmas
trip with the airplane pickup... I just bought a new Diesel Ford 4X4 pickup
and I'm guessing my chances of good road traction are better with the pickup
than an Uhaul truck during the Winter... I'm getting some real good
information here and I'm leaning towards removing the wings and wrapping it
up like a Christmas present...

If that Mark III is in even fair condition, 11,500 seems like a great price
:) If you know of one for 12,500 that also seems like quite a deal,
those are very nice planes....

It's in the Matronics Photoshare

You were looking for a view on a aileron gap seal....I think that's at "Kip's"
site......?

Ok, thanks for the link.... Wow, I like that new stick design. Mines an
older one where the joint is a kind of a knuckle canted a bit off to the
left side of the rudder cables. This is the way to go here.....
I did see the gap seal as well, I think I might try a temporary one just
made out of tape to see how much more effective it makes the ailerons.... I
have a feeling it'll make a big difference (always did on my model airplanes
for sure ;))...

The best way I have found to install a gap seal is using 4 inch finishing
tape and it goes from the top of the trailing edge of the wing to the bottom
leading edge of the aileron and just skip where the hindges are and you wont
hardly even see a gap seal

Me too - got 669 hours now without a decarb - really. 1999 Engine 503
E-gear box
No carbon yet. Compression still 120 per cylinder - like new "outa
of the box" Still checking with the dental mirrors and intake and
exhaust manifolds off (flashlight down the plug holes) every 50 or so hours.
Gotta repaint my muffler once in a while anyway - wish I'd got it
chromed when it was new..
Just a test guys - so don't flame me.
Don't try this at home - we do this for a living (myth busters - ha
ha - I guess I'm Buster).
I'm at the Ferguson Farm & I'm the test pilot for "this one" anyway.
Never had the jugs off never had the engine even hick up.
And I know that's not what the book says. But somebody has to do
it. ( Where no man has gone before - 1,000 hr on a 503 CDI no decarb
no rebuild Wallmart dot 3 oil "BTW - don't use their aircooled oil")
We who are about to die - salute you.
(Again -not trying to be disrespectful - we've had our share of
fatalities over here - as
I'm sure some of you know - but we still fly)

That makes me feel better about my engine 447 with 314 hrs and still going,
no DE-carbon or glitches but finding myself inspecting more often though and
looking at every 4 stroke I can think of to get a longer lived quieter engine
that I can use on the little firestar

Guys,
I'm at 450 hours without a teardown or decarbon (2nd engine). I'm running synthetic
oil 50:1.

Dear Lister,
Please read over the Kolb-List Usage Guidelines below. The complete
Kolb-List FAQ including these Usage Guidelines can be found at the
following URL:
http://www.matronics.com/FAQs/Kolb-List.FAQ.html
Thank you,
Matt Dralle
Matronics Email List Administrator
******************************************************************************
Kolb-List Usage Guidelines
******************************************************************************
The following details the official Usage Guidelines for the Kolb-List.
You are encouraged to read it carefully, and to abide by the rules therein.
Failure to use the Kolb-List in the manner described below may result
in the removal of the subscribers from the List.
Kolb-List Policy Statement
The purpose of the Kolb-List is to provide a forum of discussion for
things related to this particular discussion group. The List's goals
are to serve as an information resource to its members; to deliver
high-quality content; to provide moral support; to foster camaraderie
among its members; and to support safe operation. Reaching these goals
requires the participation and cooperation of each and every member of
the List. To this end, the following guidelines have been established:
- Please keep all posts related to the List at some level. Do not submit
posts concerning computer viruses, urban legends, random humor, long
lost buddies' phone numbers, etc. etc.
- THINK carefully before you write. Ask yourself if your post will be
relevant to everyone. If you have to wonder about that, DON'T send it.
- Remember that your post will be included for posterity in an archive
that is growing in size at an extraordinary rate. Try to be concise and
terse in your posts. Avoid overly wordy and lengthy posts and
responses.
- Keep your signature brief. Please include your name, email address,
aircraft type/tail number, and geographic location. A short line
about where you are in the building process is also nice. Avoid
bulky signatures with character graphics; they consume unnecessary
space in the archive.
- DON'T post requests to the List for information when that info is
easily obtainable from other widely available sources. Consult the
web page or FAQ first.
- If you want to respond to a post, DO keep the "Subject:" line of
your response the same as that of the original post. This makes it
easy to find threads in the archive.
- When responding, NEVER quote the *entire* original post in your
response. DO use lines from the original post to help "tune in" the
reader to the topic at hand, but be selective. The impact that
quoting the entire original post has on the size of the archive
can not be overstated!
- When the poster asks you to respond to him/her personally, DO NOT
then go ahead and reply to the List. Be aware that clicking the
"reply" button on your mail package does not necessarily send your
response to the original poster. You might have to actively address
your response with the original poster's email address.
- DO NOT use the List to respond to a post unless you have something
to add that is relevant and has a broad appeal. "Way to go!", "I
agree", and "Congratulations" are all responses that are better sent
to the original poster directly, rather than to the List at large.
- When responding to others' posts, avoid the feeling that you need to
comment on every last point in their posts, unless you can truly
contribute something valuable.
- Feel free to disagree with other viewpoints, BUT keep your tone
polite and respectful. Don't make snide comments, personally attack
other listers, or take the moral high ground on an obviously
controversial issue. This will only cause a pointless debate that
will hurt feelings, waste bandwidth and resolve nothing.
- Occassional posts by vendors or individuals who are regularyly
subscribed to a given List are considered acceptable. Posts by
List members promoting their respective products or items for sale
should be of a friendly, informal nature, and should not resemble
a typical SPAM message. The List isn't about commercialism, but
is about sharing information and knowledge. This applies to
everyone, including those who provide products to the entire
community. Informal presentation and moderation should be the
operatives with respect to advertising on the Lists.
