Initial results look promising, but I like a little more than what I've seen so far. However, my personal experience with the 4.3 is pretty good. It's only significant failure still left it operational, albeit down probably 40 HP. Had this same thing happened in an airplane, the plane would have still flown to a nearby airport.

No disrespect for you or Big B, Bob. I have read many of your posts
and have much respect for you, but this is .homebuilt. Most readers and posters here ARE WANNABIES and proud of that fact. We do WANNABE better pilots and builders. We do WANNABE more experienced. Both you and Big B were once where most of us are here now. CLUELESS? Everyone on this earth is CLUELESS. No one here knows that one day they might offend the wrong person and have that person actually do track them down and bite their heads off, (only without prior showing any signs or warnings). Not everybody on this earth will beat on their chest and threaten people ahead of time when they are offended. They just might one day see that person at some event and beat the sh*t out of them without warning or explanation. Better yet, they might just track that person down and do the same just because they know that that person deserves it. Calling people names is just not wise. You never know how a person will react, especially people you have only met on the net. Personally calling people names really turns me off. I loose all respect and admiration for the smartest and most experienced people just because they are arrogant and ignorant. The smartest people, and those that think they are smart are clueless themselves. If they were smart, they wouldn't resort to calling names or resort to threat. If they were smart they'd just go ahead and do what they said they'd do and not give any warning. I'm just surprised by the things that come out of the mouths of people who are as old or supposedly as smart as Big B. Aren't you supposed to know better when you're that old?

![]() ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Let me clarify. There are STUDENTS.... and then there are the wannabies, the clueless, etcetera. STUDENTS_ learn_ and_ progress. The rest of the crop are mostly stuck in transmit mode. The posts tell the story.... At least to some of us that are paying attention. Barnyard BOb - The more people I meet, the more I love my dog and George Carlin humor. Although I hate to pat Bourbon on the back, he's right. There are students who progress and do things. Bryan is one who does. But Bryan is rare on this group. Bryan is not a sideliner. He's not someone who watches this game from the pits. He's an actor. He's a player. He's in the football field, not cheering on the lines. That gives him a big difference in his perspective. He's done a lot in his short lifetime. I'm proud of him and his accomplishments. And, he is something I will never be, that I admire, he's humble. But Bryan I have to tell you something. As you get older, you do know better, you just get tired of taking **** from idiots. You'll see my young man. You'll see. Look at this idiot who accuses me of saying that Jess's PSRU's failed. How simple minded could you be? The guy libeled himself. He opened himself up to a law suit if he caused me damages. What if I made my money test-flying homebuilts for developers of things like Jess developed and this idiot said this in a public forum and cost me a few future jobs? There would be real damages because of his loose lips and misinterpretations. I'd have to sue him. So, instead of suing him, I just belittle him for being stupid here in the same public forum. If he had his brain screwed on right IMHO, he'd apologize. But, he's too full of himself for that. The reality of it is that he screwed up. He owed me an apology and if he cost me money, he'd owe me that money that he cost me. That's what the law suit system is all about...recovery. However, since he didn't cost me anything, I won't sue him. Because I won't sue him, he's got a "Get out of Jail Free" card and he can continue to shoot off his ignorant mouth. The only recourse I have is to play with him a bit and point out how really profoundly stupid he is by doing what he did. I think as you get older you learn to call people's bluff like this more and when you do, you get your pound of flesh for them screwing with you. It's a lot simpler than using the legal system, and it's a lot less damaging. Yeah, the guy might kick my ass someday, so what? I've had my ass kicked before. But, I might surprise him and it could go the other way too. I doubt that anything like that would ever happen, hell, the guy is a librarian. Does that sound like a street fighter? BWB |

![]() But we're just not going to use the same PC yardstick for old-school guys like these who are hanging around here for free, trying to give you a different perspective on flying and building. If it's too salty, why don't you head on over to: rec.domestic.teaparty and I'm sure they will moderate out any offensive historical truths about trading tea for opium, so your polite tea-sipping won't be disturbed. Sorry Bryan, but I'm not just going to sit here and watch you lecture the instructor on his choice of language. If you don't like it, don't take his class. We like you Bryan buddy, but changing people is usually not possible. pacplyer - out BBWWAWAAHHHAHHAHAAAAA Pac, you crack me up. Only another brother with a lot of flying-time can see through the bull ****. Isn't it interesting how clear all this is to us, but how few will understand anything you had to say above. And Bourbon? Hell, he sees all this too. He's been yanking a stick since we were ****ting in our diapers. It's infinitely clear to him too even though he's a cranky old **** and he ****es me off most of the time too. In Bryan's case, he'll understand your message. But, most won't. He's done quit a bit that's transparent to the ng. He's one of us, he's just a younger version, so he puts his head on a chopping block so we can pick on him. Also, he's oriental, and as you know since you are married to an oriental, they have manners far beyond anything that we will ever have six lifetimes from now. I think most of what Bryan is saying is related to his Asian culture of being mannerly. He came from a culture where if you weren't mannerly they simply cut your head off. Have a nice day. BWB |
