You got that right pilot. First thing I learned in flying airplanes.
This is your compass. This is your runway. This is your directional

Sheesh - most of the runways I flew off of didn't have anyplace to
paint a number (grass) -- the only gyro I had was the TB indicator.
We thought 1700 feet was plenty of runway (power line on the North
end, Trees on the South end - that's how you knew which way you were
pointed). You knew you

The neatest trick I know for removing bushings is to use a bottoming

I suspect it's mostly because I live on the fringe of a large

Curt was describing the 123, not the 124.

the speaker opening), and the 107 takes about 20 minutes - it's how
