All I can say is WOW!  Glad you are okay and will fly again…..

Say hi to Bobby

 

The plan for tomorrow is to remove the wings, with the help of my good RV-8 buddy, and haul the plane back to the hanger.  At this point, I don't know quite what I'll do with it from there.  My wife was slightly upset by this, but I think she'll get over it.  I also have the Slingshot at home already, AND I'm going to have to leave the hanger in a month or so when they rebuild it from the hurricane.  Seems like a logistical nightmare.  I don't intend to abandon the rotary, but I might re-work the Slingshot first (with the 912S), so I can get something flying.  I'd follow that with a rebuild of the RV-3 engine, and a real oil cooler.  Once I do that, maybe I'll be ready to tackle the single rotor for the Slingshot, or maybe not :-)

 

Cheers,

Rusty (I still smell burning oil, 5 hours later...)
