Pete, if we see cylinders off and pistons hanging out the holes (aka fish farm overhaul) THEN we know they're getting serious

Jack, Jeff needs your screwdriver badly.

I don't recognise that motor... It looks like a big prop hub on stand-offs and a MASSIVE carb to me!

Gonna guess that it being Jeff, with a screw-driver in hand, and Jack being called upon, that its a DA....

I really have to try one of these sometime, to see what all the hype is about....

Have fun biys!!

Not gonna make it Pete. Working tomorrow. Say hi to everyone for me.

Perhaps more reliable if Jeff puts it back on that top shelf

I landed hard, Jack said landing gear is good to take off again, not realizing the motor box was broke, spooled up & ground the nose of the cowl.

All good now guys. Some dumbass forgot to push the lead all the way in on the ignition. I can tell you Jack found it. For the record my kid now owns one of the best tuned DA35 he got educated by Jack today. I expect he will be tell me how to do it on the way home.
