My buddy says his typically gets 35-40 mpg, worst mileage he ever got was around 20 fighting a 40 mph headwind out west.  He also says it seems to be common to rejet the carbs (all 6 of them! :eek:  ) way too rich, particularly when installing aftermarket exhaust.  So you might have a look into that.

Cool. Valkyries are really nice, love how they sound. A buddy has one that's got somehere around 150k on it. That gas mileage does seem kinda low, I'll ask him what his gets.

.... because there's a chance he might find it and get to play with it again.

Happy Easter folks!

I've got Coopers on my blazer and they've been fine. Lots of guys at work have their ATR's and like them.

Tannerite salesman of the year. I bet you won't be able to find it in stock next week.

Welcome!

    They used to be the cheaper option, but I'm at the point where I'd pay extra for a manual over an automatic. 

I turned mine about a week ago so it'll hopefully dry out enough to till effectively.  When I tilled it last year it just turned into baseball sized clods of dirt.  I'm thinking about putting some sand on one part of it to help with the drainage/clay.  I'd like to have already planted the cooler weather stuff like spinach and broccoli, but life keeps getting the way. 

From when F1 cars sounded like F1 cars. ;)

The license isn't for the aircraft, it's for the pilot.  If you fly it outside, you're required to have a license.     My 8 yr old has a helicopter that's listed as for indoor use only.  The only time he flew it outside, I had to retrieve it from the roof.  It doesn't have enough power to deal with any sort of breeze.  That said, it's pretty easy to fly around the house though a gym or other large room would be best.    The controls on the quad rotors and the helicopters are basically the same.  We had the same problems as the OP at first with it, and a trip back to the store found that it had been assembled incorrectly at the factory.  Seems the blades are different and if they're in the wrong place, it won't fly at all.   Once we got that sorted, it was still waaaaay too touchy and the battery life was a joke (like 90 seconds).  So we traded that for a helicopter and he was much happier.    This is what he has: https://www.hobbytown.com/Shop/AZSH1350-Ares-Chronos-CX100-Ultra-Micro-RTF-Heli-w-Camera/   The bigger single rotor helicopters are a whole different animal from the twin rotor type. 

Know your target, and what's beyond.

    I resemble that remark... :)       Ever seen the EspaceF1?    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGUyIOGVa0M

Interesting.    It's like "the clapper" for the 21st century.  :D    My kids would have a blast with it.

Cool.  Hopefully I'll make this one.  :up:

Cool, enjoy the show! Have you followed their newer stuff? I have a few earlier albums but kinda lost interest with drama and lineup changes.

A full teardown every time it's fired.

Far more guns get worn out due to excessive cleaning than excessive shooting.

I look at mine periodically and blow it out with compressed air when I see significant lint. I'll add that minimal lubrication helps in that regard. Grease/oil mixed with lint turns to goo.

I first heard Gary Clark on a Crossroads festival album. I picked up his live album and really like it. And speaking of Crossroads.... https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=yTu9tujtTcs

There's always gonna be somebody better. That's just how it is. Befriend or avoid, those are the only options.

That's awesome. I want an AK pistol.

    So they were riding like douches and the officer succeeded at being a dick.   I figured as much.             It would at least keep from being directly sprayed in the eyes.  Some mist would certainly get in your face, but hopefully wouldn't be so debilitating as to make you unable to operate the bike.  If I'd been sprayed, I'd file assault charges.  Same as the douches who like to "roll coal" in their "I'm compensating for something" trucks. 

Odd.  Add this to the list of reasons why I wear a full face helmet.   If the cop didn't feel safe stopping on the side of the interstate, why didn't he direct the truck to proceed to the nearest exit?  The bikes weren't that close nor do they appear to be going particularly fast.

What he said. Welcome to the joys of TN hunting/fishing licenses. The easiest (and most expensive) solution is to get the Sportsmans license. But if you don't want to spend that much, the small game / fishing combo is the best route for now. From there you can add the big game gun, muzzleloader, archery, water fowl, trout, WMA, ....
