Dizzy but cool. Think my father has a P38 that he never built. A couple of beers and spinning in circles. What could possibly go wrong?

That is odd. So did I. I will find something better.

Do you remember the engine being primed with fuel (we used lighter fuel) and then the prop being finger flicked to get the engine to fire, a little puf of smoke followed by a high pitched buzz noise. Those were the days.I was a little one at the time. My job was to hold the plane while my father grabbed the control line. Loud and fast.

Yes. I had a little Piper cub, orange and white and a biplane that we never flew. There was a spring that caught a blade. We would rotate the prop several times and let go the spring would spin the prop in the opposite direction and the engine would start. I remember the smoke, the smell of the fuel, and the whining high pitched engine. My father planes had a larger engine with a lower pitch sound. We would pack up everything and stop at a store and get a drink for less than a quarter.Do you remember the engine being primed with fuel (we used lighter fuel) and then the prop being finger flicked to get the engine to fire, a little puf of smoke followed by a high pitched buzz noise.

It's Friday, there's an 8 pack of Guinness in the fridge and a bottle of Makers Mark 101 Bourbon in the liquor cabinet. I'm set for the weekend.

Maker's Mark. It's not just for breakfast anymore.
This cheered me up. Ice Skating!

Paid for our gas down here and supper. I bought a lot of kits about 3-4 years ago to get me through retirement
