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 GREAT teenager’s first vehicle. Probably $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).

Does this look right ?
Does this look right, or is the correct crank gear timing mark at the 5 o’clock position? Trying to help another RV owner by long distance.

New Builder: Am I doing something wrong here?
Hi folks, I recently got the workshop all set up, practice kits completed, and am starting to put rivets in the real thing. I spent a lot of timing getting my dimpling setup and technique just right so that the areas around the dimples have no distortion whatsoever, but I’m starting to put in...

Armrest Advice for RV-14
I like nice armrests for both arms in an airplane. The ones I've seen on the side panels are too low and I've never see one in the center. On my production airplane the center arm rest pulls up and, with a push, retracts into the seat back. Seems that something like this should be available for...
