seafury said...: Hell yeah!!! While common sense dictates switching to the more reliable R2800, nothing like the like the real thing. A good friend is active with EAA warbirds of America, ( chairman of registration at Airventure) he listened to a guy named Ellsworth Goetchel ( not sure on the spelling) who owned and flew an original FB ll Centaurus powered model. The description of doing the overhaul took most of an afternoon. Lots of moving parts. My favorite piston warbird. Muchos gracias; 1/19/2020 5:28 PM

I don't collect your personal data. I don't collect your email addresses, user handles, IP addresses, or any of that shit. This blog isn't monetized in any way.

Unless you have contacted me via email (or put identifying information into a comment), I not only don't know who the fuck you are or where you live, I don't give a rat's ass.

There is nothing to "opt-into" on this blog, at least as far as I'm concerned.

If you want to "opt-out", then go read someone else's blog.

The EU can go fuck itself.
Especially Hungary.

Rules of the House

Rule No. 1: Don't be a jerk.

Rule No. 2: Read this before you comment on anything. Violators will be dealt with. Repeat violators of 2.H., I., and/or J. will be banhammered. Spam will be deleted without mercy.

Rule No. 3: If you feel the need to whine on and on about something I wrote and that I am just an angry, mean, snarky, gun-toting Democratic old bitch, do it on your own blog. Read this before making comments on politics.

Rule No. 4: Trigger warning: Adult language is used herein. Adult topics are sometimes discussed. Sooner or later, everyone will be offended here. Disclaimer notice.

Rule No. 5: Terms of Service: Political appointees of the Trump Administration may not read this blog unless they (i) post a comment confessing same and (ii) acknowledge that he is a Russian asset.

Violation of this term is a violation of 18 U.S.C. 1030(a)(2)(C) and you're off to share a cell with Paul Manafort, asswipe.

Rule No. 6: Keep your comments on point. Address either the post itself or points raised in response by other comments. Random-ass shit will be deleted. So will personal attacks. Repeated violations will result in swinging of the banhammer.

Rule No. 7: Banhammer: If you are under the banhammer, your comments will be deleted, unread. So feel free to carry on with your worst invective and keyboard-commando threats. Nobody's ever going to see it.

You Have Been Warned.
