Not much on the list about airplanes or flying. Just sounds like a bunch of old men sitting on the dead pec--- bench nitpicking the way others do things. For what it's worth i'm 70 so you can put me on the bench along with the rest. Hope things improve come spring , I miss the good information I know this group can offer.

And as far as the pictures go, I use Firefox for my browser. It is not worth the trouble to copy and paste the url for the page into Opera just so I can get the picture shrunk down to where you can see the whole thing at once. Or save the picture and open it in a picture viewer. I suppose you are familiar with the abbreviation TLDR? Too Long, Didn't Read, used when somebody posts something that is supposedly incredibly important, and then when you click on the link, it is this 25 page tome and I have other things to do. Failure to resize pictures causes a similar response: TMHFI. Too Much Hassle, Forget It. And yes I have high speed internet, I play World of Tanks online at 55 frames a second and my King Tiger can snipe you from 500 meters before you even know I'm there. 8) -------- Richard Pike Kolb MKIII N420P (420ldPoops) richard (at) bcchapel(dot)org Kingsport, TN 3TN0 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

If you are in the market now or may be in the future for a metal hangar building you may be interested in my experience with U.S. Metal buildings sales methods. I contact them to get some information on their buildings. They will not give you much of any information on the buildings themselves. Soon after the initial contact they call asking for a deposit on a building - (my initial thoughts - excuse me but I don't seem to recall we have even had discussed the size or type of building I'm looking for.) The calls continue to come from a number if different individuals with the lead in they have a number of canceled orders and you can save 50 percent if you can put down a deposit "today". Note, there may be more than one company operating in this manner. Strangest industry I've ever seen. though Trying to get some basic cost information from a number of these companies has been a real experience and an eye opener. I've now taken the route of only approaching companies that have been used by other aviation friends. Before doing business with any metal building company look them up on the internet for background information, investigate them thoroughly. There are various scam routines being used by metal building companies, resulting in deposit forfeitures or cost increases. Not all are dishonest, but check them out before giving them any funds. Might even give the Better Business Bureau a call for what it's worth. Also be aware of cost increase scams going on, again do some searches on the internet. So far I've managed not to get stung, but others out there have and these folks are looking for their next target. Don't let it be you.
