    What Wheels to use for 35% plane?

    I think aluminum landing gear is far more helpful than softer tires when you get to landing hard enough to tear out the gear. I've never torn out landing gear, other than retracts, but my last 100cc plane survived many harder landings without damage due to the aluminum gear.

    I'm trying to figure that photo out. I've been away from GSN for a couple of months other than checking in once and awhile so not current. What engine is that?

    Anyone ever seen engine metal like this?

    Bottom side of the head is way darker (blacker?) than the top of the engine.

    What Wheels to use for 35% plane?

    It's heavier and not as pretty but aluminum landing gear is best for shock absorption. Nothing against the well made and pretty White Rose wheels but not into bling and prefer the softer Skylight wheels.

    What beer ya drinking tonight?

    Absolutely stuck on the local Atlanta based Monday Night Brewing Eye Patch Ale. Best $9/6 pack IPA there is, I've stopped buying the $14 Skulpin. Haven't flown any this spring yet as I'm too busy coaching my son's baseball team and wrapping up my workshop construction. Doesn't mean I can't...

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    Sorry, I now see helicopter 'motor' instead of engine. Just assumed engine due to classic pattern in general. Good to have a couple of other old pattern fans on this forum.

    What beer ya drinking tonight?

    Drove to my wife's alma mater (Clemson) today and tailgated some before the spring football game. Also did some bar hopping and one of the great bars there had Skulpin IPA. I couldn't believe it. Yummy.

    I switched between Skulpin and the local Monday Night Brewing Blind Pirate IPA this weekend.

    What beer ya drinking tonight?

    I'm stuck with some of this beer. I'll leave it in the garage fridge until I'm desperate someday.

    What beer ya drinking tonight?

    Still not a 100% but well enough to get back to an evening beer or 2. Rummaging through my garage fridge and I find a couple of mass producers brand IPA's that friends have brought over. Nothing that I would buy but it's the thought that counts. But suddenly way in the back I spot a Ballast...

    What beer ya drinking tonight?

    Yes, day 14 of pneumonia but almost out of it. I've lost 20 lbs and I'm usually 200 so clothes are falling off me. I won't waste a beer in this condition, maybe this weekend.

    What beer ya drinking tonight?

    One week in bed, 2 more days barely moving, then today it breaks. Still so weak I have to take a sit on the top stair if I go to our 2nd floor. The flu makes for a very effective weight loss program should you need to drop a pound or 20. I lost 15 or more. Worse is no beer. I gotta get...
