Just doing some sightseeing. Went south about 5 miles to check out a fire. Had just turned and started to head north. Since, with a passenger in the front, there is no forward visibility,,,,, when something on the right startled me. Thought it was a plane in that first milisecond. It was a goose! Startled the crap out of me. He was flying the same heading and altitude as me, but just 30 feet to my right. That would have been something to have run up his tail. Since that wouldn't be a forceful strike, more like a Deli slicer, would it have taken out my wooden Sensenich prop??

What is the deal with the cost of AN115 Shackles. I keep looking for a line somewhere in ACS that says it is for 100 of them - $10+ dollars for one of them? Does anybody know a cheap place to get these? I know they are both cool and unique, but those prices are insanity.

They were much cheaper and of better strength. Check out this UK site for examples, http://www.boatsnbits.co.uk/acatalog/Online_Catalogue_Shackles_78.html I drilled out the threaded part, closed up the gap a bit and used standard clevis pins.
