FS: My Ford Ranger (our family spare which lives in the hangar).
If you’re looking for a small airport truck with so little modern technology that it would be a minor miracle if anyone under 30 could operative it, my 2010 Ford Ranger is for you. It would make a nice first vehicle for a teenager (only one pax). Probably asking $9,100. I bought it from Dan Horton a decade ago. The a/c is terrifyingly cold. There are no more tiny trucks for sale in the USA. This is one. AM/FM and no cruise. Clean the interior with a leaf blower. The pic with the two wooden chairs is my son Tate learning how to parallel park on the Charlie taxiway <grin>. It’s time to let it go, I can’t justify the financial expense of keeping it (empty nesters). v/r,dr

Post in thread 'SL-00092 and SL-00100' …Phil Sprang
I'm working on SL-00092 and my quick build wings. I'm passing along an issue I discovered in hopes that others may trap it sooner than I did.
My SL-00092 KIT was shipped 7/19/24.
On the packing list, were two ribs, the inboard rib for each wing.
W-1010-L-1-14MOD and W-1010-R-1-14MOD
The ribs I received were:
W-1010-L-1-MOD and W1010-R-1-MOD
Notice the subtle difference?
I missed it when doing the inventory.
The person packing the kit missed it too.
The issue is this, at the spar. The bolt holes are half a hole off.

Perfecting Alignment of Axel Nut to Cotter Key Hole ...
If (for whatever reason) the cotter key hole in your axle & nut do not line up to your liking, you can easily solve that problem in one of two ways - By machining the face of the nut - Since the thread pitch of the axle nut is 16 tpi, it means that for every "flat" advancement, there will be...
