I put the finished pocket back on the passenger door panel, then I
started gluing the skin back onto the other pocket. I found a
matching screw in the junk box for the pocket that was missing one.
I then glued the loose window glide back onto the glass in the

Bob Hoover would agree that smooth is the right way - remember the
video of him pouring ice tea while executing a loop in a Commander?
I don't doubt that the T-34 is a more aerobatic plane than the
Citabria - however, my chances of flying a Citabria again are FAR
greater than the chances of flying

By the way - that's a Bonanza with standard tail and tandem cockpit.
Don't know about the airfoil. The Citabria that Fosset was flying had
a semi-symmetrical airfoil - great for aerobatics.
You both need to read Bob Hoover's book - it's much more the pilot
than the airplane!
I love flying like

Here is what I remember about the T-34 (circa 1981):
1. It was designed with the foreknowledge that 22 year old kids were going
to abuse it while they tried to become fighter pilots. They were going to
pretend they were in an Phantom when in fact they were in a trainer. The
T-34 had to

The 959 is real. As I understand the import rules were changed for low
production cars or they were granted an exemption or somesuch a few

The AC manifold hose in my 83 300 DT is leaking. It was rebuilt once before,
so my trusted indy recommended a replacement if I want to fix it. The total
bill will be in the neighborhood of $800-900, with parts from Rusty.
I don't know if I should proceed this route or cut my emotional tie
Had a bad happening with my 87 300TD. My wife came back from a mostly
