That pole looks so much cleaner than those goofy 2 tube designs.

So, someone stole what from your plane ?

About 35K worth of Garmin avionics from a 2004 Piper 6X.... Our airport has been hit a few times this year alone, only after Garmin avionics...

Looks like someone knows exactly where to go and for what. That totally sucks, any security cameras in the area that could pick up the culprit ?

Time for some baby monitors and than a freeride on someones face is in order.

Build a false cover that has a bunch of Narco fascia on it. Nobody will ever mess with that crap.

Lmao, that was great... Only problem would be the 2 big glass screens...

The airport has 16 camera's so tomorrow maybe we can see something, it's thought these people fly in, drop someone off, do the crime and hop back in the plane after the other guy works in the pattern...

Camera's will tell the story, I hope

On a positive note my ski was safe in my office with the alarm set..
 
My buddy Jeff came by the house the other day to help me with some glass work. He is a HUGE gun nut. He shows me his new AR15 riffle he just built. Is it bad that all I kept thinking about was how awesome it would be to have a nice semi auto riffle like that and have some dumbass to try and steal something of mine?

There is nothing worse than a thief.

Started putting the motor & pipe in to see how things fit... I'm going to cut the tank down 3.5 in & angle the corner near the pipe... After looking at battery placement looks like I'm going to make a battery holder above the scupper like Lucas did. There's so much room in that corner when you run a Powerfactor pipe.

Lookin' good....was talking to both Tem and Lucas today about having a Superfreak/Jetmaniac flatwater freeride at your Deland lake on sat or sun with at least 3 new superfreaks (Tem, Josh, lucas, Billybo?) and Jetmaniac regular and big bore motors for demo. Maybe some surf riding in the mix also.....

Thanks guys for all the props, its coming together..... Got my pump welded & tapped for the third cooling line today. Tried to install my new shaft but had an issue with the bearing pressing onto the shaft, should get it done in the morning. My buddy is cutting up the tank & welding it for me. The plan is to cut about 2.5 in off the bottom of the tank so it will sit flat, cut the fuel vents off the top & mount all four fuel pickups & vent/return on top. Also on the front of the tank going to cut 2.5in into the tank & 6in up so my ETX9 will slide into the front of the tank. That way I can have the Battery in front of the tank or above the scupper.

Not sure if you can see the drawing on the tank or not.

Blake I'll ship it or leave it with Chris tomorrow... Not a problem, Sunday ride sounds like a great idea...

I'm hoping for a test ride Thur-Friday, looks like Sat/Sun will be warmer this cold weather sucks

What hood seal did you use. I need to buy one?

OEM RN hood seal.. Made my order from Greater Yamaha, OEM hoodseal, Start/Stop, 4 mounts, Throttle cable, steering cable..... Can't stand aftermarket in those items...


Installed 2 inserts for the pipe strap, Mixed up some 3:1 epoxy, layed some heavy 11 oz carbon over the inserts, should be good to go... Got the ebox holes drilled... Mounting the ebox like a FX1 direct to the hull with the 3 bolts, turf for a seal between the carbon & ebox. Gives a little more room between the motor & ebox. Also sanded the rails & tray, getting ready for some turf. Foot strap inserts are all done
