    Good times. Every night this week it seems after work thunder and rain. So I can't fly or take the boat out Damit

    What a lucky bugger, needles didn't need a single tweak AND the bowman rings had him gain 300 rpm in two flights. DLE111 with 28-9.5 Falcon, ripping nicely

    Great flying plane

    Suncor back to business now that the fire has moved on Trevor? I assume there's a lot involved when something of that magnitude gets shut in!

    Sitting on the deck, having dessert and a tea and playing with my PowerBox iGyro and the new BlueCom adapter.

    Anyone that hasn't used the BlueCom, I highly recommend it.

    Able to go into any PowerBox device wirelessly via iPad or smartphone, do updates and change parameters.

    No more computers and USB patch cords.

    Gotta love technology

    Yep.. Back in productiin now. I only got to see a glimpse of the impact, but a massive undertaking. And you can't start up an operation without all the people, support and services to keep the behemoth ticking along. Been quite an eye opener for me.

    Also can't even fathom the work ahead for so many families to rebuild from scratch

    Re: The official Riff-Raff thread (never ending engine thread, East/West)

    Yep crappy deal for them for sure.
    I had a lovely afternoon today. After a month boat shop calls and says your good to go.
    I show up take it home and start loading up to take my done and nephew fishing this afternoon
    I decide to function the choke for some reason. It is stuck, pop the cover and there something stuck in it.
    Take it back and drop it off sort of mad but sort of cool head.
    pulled out the part (obiously the part is needed to run right) so I leave while they scratch their heads.
    They call me an hour later says it's good to go.
    I show up and it's idling great in the tub.
    Load up head to the lake with the little ones.
    And you guessed it won't run worth a s**t.
    Won't go over 1/4 throttle just Boggs.
    Take the cover off and manually it will bog but will go full throttle.
    It ran way better before I brought it in and got charged 500$.
    I was expecting 350-400. Which would have been cool.
    I coulda bought another used running motor for 600$ and not have disappointed the kids.
    And been using the boat the last month lol.
    So the boat will go back and they will be told I'm not paying anything lol.
