[simpits-tech] WVO and Flight

[KD]

I wonder if you could use waste oil to fly a Buff? How many McDonalds' 
worth of veggie to get to Iraq? Might be part of a solution to the cost 
of the war.

In my Benz I have to heat it with the engine cooling water to thin it 
out enough for the pump to pump. That is what all the wacky hoses and 
stuff in the trunk and under the hood are for.

The HUD was really cool. It didn't even look like it was on until I got 
the seat to eyepoint, and then it all lit up at once. For my flight they 
moved it out of the way, but it was neat when it was on and I was doing 
my measuring.

Do you guys know of any aviation junkyards who have 757 parts? I am 
going to need a yoke and a few other parts soon.

Not a REAL F-15, but semi-close enough. This is why I wanted dimensions 
from you, but you were too busy MOVING or something ;) Ever get the 
little plane out of the tree?
My own Akers-Barnes is half done out in the garage now. No pics yet, but 
once I have something worth showing (or I clean up the mess) I'll have 
some. Not a lot like what you guys are doing, but it's all I can do 
right now.
