Dan, I didn't see my first reply to this show up and since I sent it from my smartphone, I thought it may not have went through. Sorry netters if this is a duplicate.
So, Dan.... another big YEEE HAAAW for you and Black Bird. You need to let us in on performance numbers with that heavier motor hanging out front. I am in the middle of my annual and waiting on my exhaust to get back from Jet -Hot for warranty ceramic re-coating. They really seem to stand behind their product and unlike typical ceramic coatings, they coat the inside and the outside of your exhaust. The temperature differences are amazing and when I think of getting heat out from under my cowling and away from my motor, it makes sense. Besides, with the cost of exhaust systems, why wouldn't every one want to have an exhaust that is warrantied to never rust . OK, enough on my endorsement of Jet Hot. Hope I didn't violate any rules here. Forgive me Mark L. So, while I am waiting, I am finally finishing my wheel speed pants. They are currently on my kitchen table drying. I am also putting on that big oil cooler you advised me to put on. Going to probably repaint my motor just to make that much nicer for next years KR Gathering, what the heck, its down anyway, might as well. Clean up the baffling a bit more, buff out those areas of paint I overlooked and hope that by the time my exhaust gets back the weather holds out a little longer so that I can fly. For those of you that don't know, pardon my excitement and the length of this email. But, until just before I took my KR down for annual I was unable to fly for over a year because of a severe foot injury. I got in one flight for Air Fest 2011 and then it was annual time. By the way, if you were at KR gathering 2010 you probably noticed, I was the one with a cast on. It is why I was not able to attend KR gathering 2011 because I was still in a cast. Dan got me a needed replacement instrument to enable me to make KR Gathering 2010 and Mike Warner flew it for me since I was unable to due to my injury. This is why this is the greatest forum group around. Great experience, advice, encouragement and support. Dan has been instrumental in encouraging me though all of my physical and technical challenges even going so far as help with parts. So a big thanks to you Dan as well as Mike Warner for the same. So, fly Black Bird up here Dan. Maybe in a few weeks I can get mine down there.

As soon as she was parked the usual happened when a new born arrives. I believe that she was well received. I apologize for not taking any pics, but I was busy and did not take the time to get my camera out. I will try to do better next time. _______________________________________ Search the KRnet Archives at http://www.maddyhome.com/krsrch/index.jsp to UNsubscribe from KRnet, send a message to krnet-le...@mylist.net please see other KRnet info at http://www.krnet.org/info.html
