Never happen. You'd be asking pilots to memorize two letters of Morse and have
their lives depend on not getting them mixed up anywhere along the approach course
:-)
My earlier "no code" comments were, of course, a tongue-in-cheel reference to a
controversey that was once swirling in ham radio circles and has now been laid
to rest for us by the powers than be.

Piffle. All this high tech VOR/morse code nonsense - If we were *real* pilots
we'd go back to the A/N range.

We all had to learn it to ID the VOR stations, right? Now they print the dits
and dahs on the sectional, allowing "no-code" technicians (airplane drivers)
to fly without having to do all that memorization. That's someone's idea of progress,
no doubt.

Problem relates only to the RV-6. Cracking has been discovered by
various owners in Aust. and NZ at the lower end of the the gear sockets
in earlier mounts (standard) supplied by Vans. Later supplied mounts
have an additional gusset welded around the gear socket. This gusset is
present on RV-7 mounts.
I had wrongly assumed the problem was seen in the US as well.

Unrelated to RV's except that mowing the runway at Hop-Along for the last 8 years
has undoubtedly played a major role in wearing out my Husqvarna ;-)
Bottom line: my tired old 42"/15 hp tractor is fast becoming a basket case, with
stuff falling off and no longer cuts cleanly - we've renamed it the lawn-chewer.
I need a new mower and I need it soon. While I'm at it, an upgrade to 48"
or 54" cut seems like an affordable luxury at my age; I've got quite a few
acres to groom.
What I'm asking the List for is any strong recommendations, good or bad, about
the various models and brands of yard tractors out there. If you've been very
happy with yours and would never give it up, or if you've made an impulse buy
on a brand you swear you'll never buy again, I'd like to hear about it before
I hit the big city tonight for my shopping adventure. If you know of any chain
stores running great sales on a model you like, I'd appreciate knowing that,
too.
Thanks, guys. I hope in my own small way I've given us something to talk about
besides how much we wish we were in Wisconsin this week, being rained on in our
tents, and wondering how we were going to pick our way home through the occluded
frontal systems, etc. <g>

True story about a real estate appraiser who was called to court as a expert
witness. It seems that a lady bought a lot and built a home next door to a
home with 6 dogs. The dogs had been there for years, didn't bark
abnormally, but did tear up the yard but hey, it's their yard. For some
reason the folks decided they needed another dog and the neighbor took it as
the final straw. She took them to court claiming "diminuation of value".
Etc. After conferring with the appraiser, the judge noted that the dogs
were there before she was and that after 6 dogs, one more just doesn't
matter.
After looking at the pictures, it seems to me that you have a lot of dogs in
your neighborhood and one more just shouldn't matter. Keep after 'em.

Lots of people have asked me to put up some pictures on my web site so they
could get an idea on what my house looks like compared to the other houses
in my neighbohood. Some people are assuming that I live in a beautiful
neighborhood and I have an airplane junkyard on my front lawn. Looking at
the pictres should give everyone a sense of what the truth really is. I
have also added to the questions section. Look at www.jaxairplane.com.
I really want to thank all of the people that have sent emails of support on
this. I wish tat I could reply to each one individually, but I have
literally hundreds and hundreds of emails and I can't reply to all of them.
I also want to thank a lot of the people that have voiced their opinion and
sided against me. With few exceptions, those giving an opinion different
than mine have been courteous and not started an email flame war. It takes
courage to express your opinion even when it goes against the general flow.
In my fight against the city I am the one swimming upstream and I know how
important it is to not just sit back and listen and to express your own
opinion. We all share a love of aviation and homebuilding, but we all do
not necessarily need to agree all the time.

Being a ham and a pilot, I remember that when the government closed the
Coast Guard station at 500 KHz, that they were supposed to be completely out of
the International Morse code business. I guess they forgot about the VOR and
VLF beacon IDers.
By the way did you know that about 1 out of 600 Americans is a pilot, and
about 1 out of 600 Americans is a ham? Now, how many are both? I don't know.

Check out the John Deere 2305. It's a SERIOUS "lawn mower" with either a mid
or rear mower deck (I use the mid), and you can also get some pretty handy
attachments including a front loader and a box blade, both great for runway
maintenance.
In reality, it's really a compact tractor rather than a lawn mower.
With a 24hp diesel engine, this one will probably last long enough to dig my
own grave when the time comes, and then they can bury me with it :-)

Stormy,
I own a Gravley tractor w/ 52" deck Had it for 16 to 17 years
and its good for more. Its expensive but its the last mower you will
have to own. I've worn out one deck and on my second. (doesn't seem
to be as good a quality as there are no grease fittings on the blade
housings. It will out last me as long as I take care of it.

I have a Sears 24 HP 52" deck. Go for a wide deck and lots of horsepower.
I had a switch go bad (would not start) and a week ago something happened
where it will not go into gear (engine runs fine and the blades will spin).
Problem not yet corrected and the weeds/grass must know it because they just
started growing faster.
One problem from the beginning is that it could go faster. This is really for
lawn tractor racing since I slow down for cutting grass/weeds.
I probably would get it again but with most things quality is good and usually
costs more than what I paid.

The ONE that I know about, seemed isolated to a taildragger that spent a
lot of time on bumpy unpaved runways.
RVs that don't fly as much and don't get hard landings and stay on
pavement aren't likely to experience it.
My RV-6 hasn't, with an engine mount from 1993 and 1000 hrs.

You indicated you were headed to the box stores for a mower. I would avoid
MTD.
Personally I'd consider a zero turn mower. They are well made and likely
will reduce your cutting time by half over the rider you are using now. The
down side is that they are expensive.
