Pulsar with a turbine? by
Badwater Bill
Anybody ever think about putting a SOLAR turbine on the front of a
Pulsar? Ric Stitt tells me his planetary transmission will drive a
prop at 3000 rpm as a constant rpm output from the SOLAR. At about
150 hp and using the prop at constant rpm with varying pitch, that
baby ought to go Vne in level...

Go over the Binaries Files to see a real Hero by
Badwater Bill
Go over to Alt.binaries.pictures.aviation to get a shot of my pop.
You guys have no idea what a great warrior this guy was for this
country. Most of us could never in our wildest dreams ever live up to
the standards and the completed missions this guy did, then later
directed.
You can't judge a...

I hate Chicken****s too! by
Badwater Bill
I hate people who offer crap to the market that kills people too, like
helicopters built with K-mart parts.
Just an afterthought.

The National Lake Eutrophication Survey 1971-1973 by
Badwater Bill
The following is to the best of my recollection. I haven't even
changed the name of a buddy I was with during these events. I may be
wrong about some of the statistics, like the number of divorces and
number of hot babes in the restaurants, but I'm close. Almost none of
this is an exageration...

UFO REPORT really just a Huey in Vermont by
Badwater Bill
I sat down to write this story about us being turned in at a UFO and
the telephone rang, INTERUPTING ME. Now I gotta go to some stupid
meeting and can't write the story and embellish it like I would like
to do. So, here's the truth about what happened:
I'll cut it short.
I'll never forget this...

Aero Composites Propellers by

Anybody have any experience with these props? I just bought one
today. After reading their website they look good, but what do you
guys know, if anything?

Kitplanes August Issue by
Badwater Bill
Does anyone know when the August issue of Kitplanes is going to be
out? When do they normally send it if you subscribe? There's an
article on the Old Men's Airplane Building Project (OMABP) i.e. Jess
Meyer's RV-6A with the Chevy engine in it.
You might recall that I was the test pilot on that...

Simpy One of Many Stories of a Time Not So Long Ago by
Badwater Bill
You guys have written some cool stories in a thread above. Here's one
I wrote tonight. Here's fictional story number #69a.
It's not polished. It's just a draft. Some of you might like it. Some
of you might identify with it. But, most of all, I hope you enjoy it
because I hope it puts you there....

Another one of those things I get from docents out at PASM. Don't

Odyssey Battery-Jerry Springer by
Badwater Bill
Okay Jerry, I took your advice and spent $135 bucks today for an
Odyssey 16 Amp-hr dry cell that weighs 15 pounds (the 680). I cut the
aluminum for a bracket on the gyroscope to mount it but I gotta get
Kevin to TIG weld it later today.
As far as the battery goes, I hope that MOFO spools me up...

Flying With Hawks by

A few years ago I wrote a piece I posted here about flying with the

Okay, you guys told me to post binaries to the alt.binary file. I did

find the shot I took when I was above the crap you see in the
background. But here's the story:

Okay, you guys, I've been away for awhile. I had to rejuvenate my

So, I went over there and stuffed in some jpg's for you guys to look

Australia by

I just read a post by Stealth Pilot and wondered where he is. I tried
to post it but it bounced. Here's another try before I give up.
Hey Stealth:
Aren't you talking more about the Lancair IV-P ? I know one went in
from a spin this summer down under. BTW, where in Aus are you? I
just flew...
