Congratulations!

The Soma is a neat-looking gyro and the 503 is a great engine.

Hi Scott, Two further ? please (1) can you find the link to your post for the new mod you did on your nose wheel? (2) info on that smoker kit who, where, weight, applacation details. Thank You

The smoker:
Kit made by---Me
Weight less than 3 lbs empty, hold 2 1/2 qts. 12volt pump.
you have to weld a fitting in your exhaust pipe and find a place to mount the tank and pump, and supply your own wiring and switch.

If I remember correctly.....That Bee had a "Screw" loose! Sorry, I couldn't resist.

Scott, you didn't tell the nice man how inexpensive and easy to afford the Smoker Kit is.

[scottessex]

just goes to show you, I should have taken that typing course in high school to actually learn how to type, instead of checking out the "chicks"

I talked to JR on the phone about the nose wheel etc.

Barry you forgot "cheeseburger eating"

and the smoker kit is $135 SHIPPED!

 

[ultracruiser41]

Remeber, the smoker kit is great for flyby's and getting rid of bugs but...I also use my Essex Smoke System to puff a little in the patterns so other aircraft can see me! (Gyros are the most stealthy things in the air and are hard to see!)

[scottessex]

I am thinking about a flare and chafe launcher, so I can be visable to radar!
Plus flyby's on the fourth of july would be realy spectacular!

My deposit was received Saturday the final details are almost finished and I'm off to get it. Thanks to Ron for posting the pictures of his pick-up truck caddy to carry the gyro, I down loaded them, blew them up and had the number 1 operator at work give it a once over.
Now I have a jig that breaks down w/ 3pins, fits also in my class 3 receiver, weights 45lbs and fits into my army duffel bag so I can call it my luggage for the trip. Oh yes it even receives two ramps all I need is two boards. I feel like I'm 5 and this is Christmas for the first time, I thought that little guy was long gone!
