Thanks to everyone that had interest in the videos. They are all gone except: - Sporty's Instrument Proficiency Check DVD for $20 For everyone that was interested in the Paintucation videos, I can tell you if you were to by only one of them from the Paintucation website, get the Xtreme Detailing video. It covers probably 75% of what is in all the other videos, just in less detail. Then if you want more detail in a specific area you can go back and order the more detailed video. Thanks again!

I decided to break out the Paintucation videos so you can pick and choose. So here is what I still have: - Sporty's Instrument Proficiency Check DVD for $20 - Paintucation's Paint Your Own Car DVD for $25 - Paintucation's Color Sanding and Buffing DVD for $25 - Paintucation's Metal Prep & Rust Repair DVD for $25 - Paintucation's Body Shop Basics! DVD for $25 - Paintucation's Xtreme Detailing! DVD for $25 Thanks again. Not trying to SPAM the list, I really hope someone gets as much use out of these as I did! I really liked the Paintucation videos, very well done. I'll throw them on eBay after the holidays if I don't get any other bites.

I've considered mounting the fuse on a couple of engine stands so I could rotate it just as you've described. Can you show a picture or better explain how you accomplished this?

EAA106 + NEVAF fly in July 15th. RVers!! It's coming up!!!!!! EAA106 is hosting an RV and Canard fly-in at Lawrence Airport on July 15th. This is the fifth year that we've held the fly-in and it's bigger and better than ever. Attached is the poster from EAA106. Please help us get the word out and plan to come yourselves. Here are some things to note: There is a charge this year but breakfast, lunch and handouts are included. Pilots flying in their RVs or Canards get a big discount! My RV is not quite ready yet so I'm going to miss out this year. EAA 106 has negotiated a discount rate at the Comfort Suites for those who chose to stay overnight. EAA106 will provide transportation. There are 11 Seminars this year; more than ever before. Although the file says 'Draft' it's official enough that you can print it out and post it at an airport near you. I would appreciate it if everyone who has a good color printer would print one out and post it at their airport. Regards
