Richard, the new gyros are nice on the radios. Plus, as Sid sad, the SAFE technology really limits how much trouble you can get into. If you lose orientation or anything, just hold the panic button and chop the throttle. We have a field not too far away that used to be an airport and the local club fees aren't bad and I can also fly over the beans from our yard if I want.



I raced stadium trucks, off road buggies, dirt oval, paved oval and road course cars.

OK, so they determined the pinion bearing is bad and if it dropped metal in the diff the ring and pinion need replaced. I figured that much. They asked what ratio and I asked why and I was told the 3.55 complete with posi was available used locally for about $200 and the 3.92 (whis is what we have) was about $1000. Fortunately a new ring and pinion from Richmond with the new bearings and everything is about $350 but they would have to swap out the differential and flush it good. I had the plug out and checked the oil and it was clean.

I wonder why the disparity in price on the used stuff? Is that what the off-roaders want for gears? I would think they would want something in the 4s.

If Rick were the librarian, I bet that would be the quietest library in the state.

So Rick, do you re-arrange all the popular books up high so they need you to reach them?
