I must go back in time to years ago when I was younger and much dumber. In about 1993 I was having a great time in Sullivan MO with my KR. I would show the plane and I would enjoy doing missed approaches at 200 mph with about a 3g pull-up and then 800 feet up I would enjoy doing about a 2g push over and my body would rise up and the seat belt would hold me down while my headphones would touch the canopy. This was pretty common during the summer and the group around the airport enjoyed watching this display of (stupidity????) fun. Then one night in my dreams I visualized my fuel and figured out that it must be doing the same thing...... I quit doing the push over on a gravity fed fuel system. Oh well, youth is youth and stupidity is stupidity. Have fun with the positive and avoid the negative.

The coloring may have changed a bit though from the light grey it used to be !!! :-) :-) Larry Flesner
