    Hi guys.
    It's time to say THANK YOU to every one on this forum. It has been one of the most valuable tools a person could have.

    The plane is in Plymouth right now having the carbs balanced and hopefully solving a small vibration issue and then back to New Bedford tomorrow. I'd love to see down here Dorsal. This is all fairly new to me but there's some great flying along the coast and islands and I think my KF makes # 6 in the area. One of my first trips, after the 40 hrs, will be out towards central/western MA.

    Right now I have an IVO Medium GA prop on the plane but I'm starting think it may be too much prop for the gear box so I'm considering changing to an IVO Light. I already have enough stuff hanging on the walls so any thoughts or input would be greatly appreciated.

    Looking forward to it, just heading out to a fly-in at Myricks, pretty close to you. Love to fly around the Cape and islands, fun stuff.

    No, no, no black jeeps. They're not allowed on sand bars.
