Hi Dave,
You mentioned you had scales for the mains.
Can I borrow them?

I'll drive down and pick them up.

Brian,
My bathroom scale says I have 103 pounds on the tail wheel.
Is that about right for a parked RV4 with nobody in it?

Paul Lamar

How did you get the RV4 into the bathroom Paul???

GFCurtis Jr.

I have a very large bathroom with a large door.
Do you want to know if I pushed it in or taxied it in?

Paul Lamar


Very nice house :)  You must love the view from the bathroom I am sure.

Sorry Paul, I have that sort of humor, most of the time my friends just
ignore my attempts at humor...

GFCurtis Jr.

There are bathrooms upstairs and down stairs. I used the down stairs
bathroom. Not much of a view.

Hi Paul,  I have a friend coming to visit  from NJ the 25th - 29th
we would like to stop by your hanger if you will be there.  When would a
visit work for you?


Murry I Rozansky

We may be out of town. I'll have to check with the SWMBO.
Could be a few weeks before I know.

Paul Lamar


Yes, that's right- have the airplane in a level attitude- the top cockpit
longerons should be level when you take the tailwheel weight. 103 lbs
sounded a bit high, unless your empty weight is up over 1600 lbs or so for
the RV. - Sarcasm.
