I decided to have some fun with it Ed. I will roll over that 50 hump in less than a year, but I'm still 19 inside. I did some work on the turbo 13B on the test stand, to test Butch's prop, back in January. But I lost motivation to work on it because of the cold weather, unheated hangar. (I moved to Oregon from Kansas long ago, because I'm a cold weather wimp). It's finally getting warm enough now that I should get back on it. Jerry sold his 2.17 drive, so I may have to borrow Dave Leonard's when the time comes. Perry Ed wrote: Boy, is my face red, Perry. My only excuse is your long EZ just didn't look like a "normal" long EZ. For most of those 8 years, it had this "thing" affixed to the rear {:>). My apologies for an embarrassing "senior moment" - you must stop lurking so much in order that my memory cells are get recharged more frequently. By the way, saw Butch at Sun & Fun for a few minutes -he looked a bit stressed and overworked, ridden hard and put away wet. But, he has supposedly retired from that stressful "business" and hopefully will get his battery recharged. Ed |
