The admiral would not approve.

I thought so too. But that was before:

Boats are much more sensible and dependable.

Pay the man his price and be glad to have found a good running machine close to you and licensed on the road, and perhaps to found your first local resource for knowledge. In the bigger scheme of things a few thousand one way or the other going in will seem trivial. And then snatch up that...

That's a very interesting option, but a man's gotta know his limits, and welding is apparently mine. I'll be happy to pay for a unit ready for final bolting. Drilling and wrenching are in my wheelhouse. :)

That's my kind of flying! Nap of the earth.

Very good point, thanks! I'd be very interested to learn what specific design features a well-made rack should have in that regard. I'm not sure how a rack would protect a windshield, other than by installation of a wire grid I suppose.

I don't think the Governor got your memo... nor most of Hollywood.

Hi, all! I'm looking for someone who's capable and willing to fabricate a roof rack for my M1079/8. I'm thinking that I'd like something similar to Broke Overland's rack, but not picky on the precise details. Seeking suggestions, advice and/or contacts. Thanks! Jim

I don't know how things work in CA these days (or if they even work at all), but I took the CA RV title for my M1079 and re-titled it in WA today as a motorhome without any issues. Given its current paucity of abode accoutrements, it is currently undergoing a "home renovation."

Whew, that's a relief!

The monkeyshit mod probably won't work on that one, but it's worth a try.

My very first mod was a wad of monkey shit jammed over the buzzer to quiet it down to a pleasant nagging sound.

Very Cool! I'll make good use of that model as a base for designing my first modular tiny overland cabin for my M1079/8. The cabin will be equipped with hydraulic ram landing gear to self-offload from the truck frame and lower onto foundation piers (helical piles) at remote locations, with...

Hi, all. I finally received delivery of my M1079/8 a few days ago., and I'm getting familiar with the systems. I noticed that there are quite a few active and experienced members located in Washington State. I'm located on Whidbey Island near NAS Whidbey. I'm hoping that one of the local gurus...

I'm not completely sure, but I'm guessing that Tom Greene is offering to help folks with install of their M1078 AC. I could be wrong about that.

Once in the air, what other choice did he have, right? ;) (I'm occasionally close to 300 myself, and have plenty of stick time in Pipers.)

As one who has flown dead-stick at night, and also spent many hours soaring paragliders well past civil twilight, that is not technically accurate, but still that must have been a helluva adventure flying the Waco gliders!

Thank you both!
