When you live right here amongst em it kind of looses some importance, although there is a nice Axis in my backyard that has been calling me to come out of hunting retirement. Don't know when they moved into this part of the county, but I started seeing them about a year ago around here. About that football game you will have towait until Thanksgiving to see the Ags beat the he11 out of tu.

That airplane needs to go back to Nelson so he can un-paint her and return her to her former polished state as Cottonmouth!

Look again Obergrafter, its OU this weekend. 7:00 pm ABC
I was told as a small child that I could go to any school I wanted but A&M was the only paid ride. I know well the significance of Thanksgiving.

When the Aggies play Ou, I' m not sure who to root against most. I consulted a witch doctor, took some peyote, and meditated in the sun for two days. Finally voice spoke to me and said " pray for a tornado". Do you know why they have the 12th man? If not one of of the other 11 would be lonely. If I had to bet, I'd guess the roach coach will romp on Reville.

Just got Frank S. to come update or backdate the ops. limits. It had ops limits done in Reno that were completly wrong. They didn't follow the order, just made it up. Should start flying it next week.

Care to explain to the non-pilot in English.
And I ask again, this airplane has a long history as a race plane. Will it race again?

Sorry, The "operating Limitations" are placed with an experimental aircraft by the FAA as an addition to the Airworthiness Certificate. It's a list that includes; who can fly it, how it must be maintained, where it can fly, etc. It's a list of about 25 items. An aircraft certified before the moratorium on experimental aircraft (early '90's), had a list made up by the local FAA and wasn't very restrictive. After the moratorium, the FAA came up with strickter guidelines and made them standard over the US for aircraft originally certified after that date. When a experimental aircraft over 800hp, transfers owners, a new set of ops specs must be generated. If a aircraft was certified by the old rules, the ops specs are to follow the old rules. However many FAA guys want to put the aircraft under the new rules, which is what happened to our Sea Fury by the Reno FSDO, since it was ORIGINALLY CERTIFIED in 1988 it's grandfathered by the old rules. Hope that clears it up for you.

Yep, that does. Did not know this. I would definitely say it's over 800HP.
