Bigballs Bill? He used to be Bill "The Grump" Phillips. To me he is
just Bigmouth Bill. A friggin A-hole and a half. He has no memmories. He doesn't know or remembers who is on his side. He will turn on you in a pinch. It is all about BWB and no one else. When you question him, he will threaten to hunt you down and bite your head off. He thinks he is an ex-Navy Seal or Green Baret, I can't remember which. Half of his stories are wishful thinking anyway. He used to post pictures of himself flying an R22 and a MD500, landing at various places. He insinuated that he owned them. I used to be really impressed. I went to Vegas and rented a R22 out of Silver State Helicopters and reallized it was the same R22 that he flew and landed on the bank of Lake Meade. I reallized that then that he didn't own that helo nor the MD500, but I didn't question him. Then there was the time when he told stories about the Raven (CIA FAC pilots) flying out of Vietnam and not being able to fly into Cambodia or Laos. Couldn't fly into Laos? I happened to know for a fact that the Ravens were based out of Wat Tai Airport in Vientiane Laos. I also pointed out the fact that more tonnage of US bombs were dropped on Laos than both WWI and WWII combined. There's a lot of things going on in his head, he can't get it all straight, most of it is bits and pieces of what he's read or watched in a movie. Sometimes he thinks he has lived them, a lot of it is wishful thinking. I used to like him for who he was. Now I don't like him for who he is. Naw, I think I still like him. I think its his old age. He's not taking it well, aging that is. He forgets a lot now. He can't take a joke like he used to be able to. Us younger ones have to make allowances for our elderlies. Sometimes older folks get grouchy. Bryan "The Monk" Chaisone (Marcus) wrote in message . com... wrote in message . ..

Sometimes older folks get grouchy. Bryan "The Monk" Chaisone You know Bryan, you just about hit me on the head. I'll give you guys a clue. Just like any other fiction writer, about 80% of it is truth and about 20% of it is embellishment. If you keep that in mind, you'll have a better time. Just because I post pictures of myself standing next to helicopters and airplanes that I fly, that doesn't mean I own them. If you look closely at all of my posts, I never said I owned any of these helicopters. The only helicopter I ever owned was a Mini-500. The government owned the rest, or Silver State, or Kevin Morris, Chris Hukill and other buddies. It's you guys who extrapolate to me owning all this stuff and flying missions into Cambodia. Hell, I've never even been to the South East. I'm a story writer Bryan. That's all. I rarely get serious about anything, especially here on this **** for brains ng. Why don't you just kick back and enjoy the story for what it's worth? That's all there is to it. It's not that I'm getting old and can't remember. It's that I'm bull ****ting you and can't remember! Sure, I've done some real stuff. I did test fly that RV-6A for the first 100 hours. And, I did test fly Carl Strom's RV-6 with a Lycoming in it and crash it in the desert. Kind of interesting out of all the hours I flew Jess's auto conversion I never crashed, but I crashed the one with the Lycoming in it. Anyway, some of the stuff I write is true, most is embellished. If you keep that in mind, you'll be better off. I won't try to embellish something that has anything to do with safety however. Safety if paramount to me. But, as far as the stories about Air America and the crap like that, DON'T believe a word of it. I get a kick out of some of you here though. It seems that someone always picks on me about something I really did do. It's always the wrong thing they pick. Like the years I spent on the EPA projects. I never mentioned that in detail until recently. I was waiting for years for someone to call me on that and guess what? All of that was true and they got creamed when they finally did call me on it. So, you just never know, do you. I've done enough of it, that I can hold my own in this "Bar-Room" kind of bull **** session. Some of it it extremely factual. But it's like any other profession. If you have been a real professional at times in your life, you can fill in the gaps with some intersting bull **** too. The big problem with the average reader here in RAH is that they have done almost nothing. They can't fly, they can't build, and they are too lazy to try. Anybody like me with a few thousand hours in helicopters, airplanes, balloons, gliders, gyros, hang gliders, etc. and who has rebuilt airplanes since high school, can just about walk over any of the self proclaimed know it alls who really comprise the majority of this ng. It's not even a challenge. Look at a guy like Pac. He's in the same position. He really does have the ratings and the flying time. It's no challenge to him when some Cessna 150 pilot with 30 hours confronts him over something. Anyway, just sitting in here and telling the facts all the time is boring. I'm a story teller in real life. I love a good novel and a good story. And, I have read a lot, so I can write about SE Asia and Laos if I chose to. I can write about it well enough to fool even you who lived there. But, I'm telling you up front Bryan, I'm a story teller first, a pilot and a builder second. Don't lose track of that and you won't be trying to research my posts for the past 10 years like Corky did trying to trip me up. BWB |

I just got in from a trip so I haven't read the other responses to this thread but I do have a question for you Corkman. Have you lost your mind? Here is your quote from a post last week: __________________________________________________ _____ Is this the same airplane that you trashed here in this group because of PSRU failures? Corky Scott __________________________________________________ ____ Now, since you are obviously too stupid to understand what you even wrote, I'd like to point out to the rest of the people here who can read that there were NEVER any failures of the PSRU. If you read what I said years ago, I said that I was WORRIED about the PSRU, the bearings and some other things concerning the cooling system. For Christ's sake, how can even an idiot like you Corky, extrapolate to "PSRU FAILURES" from what I wrote in that post? This is typical RAH ****. This is exactly why I hate dealing with a moron like you. An asshole like you sits in the sidelines, misquotes what I said, what I did, then cross examines me on it. When I call you on it, you post what I did say and you are too stupid to even be able to read it. Jesus, man, are you okay? I think you need a doctor. And, guess what, Corkman, the PSRU never did fail. Neither did any of the other things I was worried about. In fact the old men kept on making modifications and changes and a lot of the stuff that was on my list at that time was incorporated into that airplane. And...just because I was worried about many things I didn't understand as a pilot at that time, doesn't mean that I was right in being so. It never failed that I know about. In fact the PSRU turned out to be just about the most bullet proof part of the thing. There were much bigger issues like burning 100 octane fuel that caused more problems than the damn PSRU ever caused. Then there was some moronic idiot who put jet fuel in it in Utah and caused Jess to trash the engine. But that wasn't Jess's fault or a design fault. But, that is the only emergency I ever heard about in that airplane and it had absolutely nothing to do with Jess, Tom, Bill Harold, the design or the workmanship. Nope, the old men of the OMABP did a fine job over the years. I wouldn't worry a bit about flying that thing cross country IFR at this point. Are you so simple minded that you actually extrapolated "PSRU failures" from that old post? What a moron. BWB |

My recollection when the auto industry converted from leaded fuel to unleaded, that it was the lack of lead that caused burned valves and required different valves and valve seats. I do understand that higher octane means a slower flame front. My guess is that the higher octane in 100LL is keeping the combustion event ongoing long enough that the exhaust valve opens while the fire is still pretty hot. Is this what causes the valve problems? It can't be lack of lead as 100LL still has lots, even with the "low lead" description. Matt |

They Old Men were worried because the fuel burns slower and burning fuel goes out of the exhaust valve. They were worried that the valve would burn, so they did some things so that wouldn't happen. It's in Jack's article in Kitplanes this month (look on page 46). I'm not an engine mechanic but what that article says is because of this worry. They made sure they used a cam with a different profile because GM provides that engine with six possibilities. You just don't know what you are going to get. They used hardened seats and stainless steel valves with chrome plated stems, plus hard tips with bronze guides so nothing would stick and freeze up on them using the 100 LL. Tom thinks that was all an over kill but I have no idea. So, you'll just have to make your own conclusions. BWB |

The other issue is that in conversions that use oxygen sensors, they wipe out the sensor, in a fairly short period of time. -- Jim in NC --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
