And the guy behind the curtain? - Just don't pay him any attention.

That's right, my error; you're right. The IL-2 is the most produced military aircraft.

I ran across this today. The single-most manufactured aircraft of all aviation history: - And only ONE flying copy in the world. https://youtu.be/qF9VZSkVZI0

It's kind of hard to tell: - What are the two flags that you're flying aft to either side of the tailgate?

Surplus watering hole... - Is that one of those places that sells "re-cycled" beer!!? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-3148590/Are-taking-p-ss-Beer-brewed-recycled-URINE-sale-festival.html

Yeah, and what I heard that I like about it, is that the burst rating keeps it from splitting in a freeze: - So you can plumb your lines in PEX without having to worry about insulating anything (if access or something makes that an issue).

It sounds so good, that I figured there had to be a catch. Still. compared to the copper, is it about equal then (cost of copper vs cost of the fittings)?

It sure seems like the PEX is a no-brainer (cut-and-crimp), but I wasn't sure if there were maybe any negatives (but I can't think of a any). I'm guessing the cost is better than copper, right?

theeDIZ, that was great on Sunday to put the face with the name with you for T.A.P.S.; thanks a million for being there, and sure hope you had some fun. It looks like you're plumbing the WC with PEX. I know about it, but never actually worked with it; are you totally sold on the system, over...

Ooops, it slipped right past me: - THERE it is, up in the post by Warthog (post #3). You'll find everything you need to know right there.

What? There's retirement for Wizards!? Hang on Eliteeagle, and I'll see if I can find you the right link to Bikeman for what you want.

And PS: Welcome from here in Virginia.

You need to visit the Wizard: - He is reverenced as The Great and Almighty CARNAC. Follow the Yellow Brick Road...

That stinks. Sure hope the parts arrive soon so you're back up and running chop-chop.

STOL (Short Take-Off and Landing). Here is the definition (you can skip everything but the first 60 seconds, and the last 60 seconds): https://youtu.be/w8DLJRWaA34

Plywood is not a second-rate product (just for the record): - The PT Boats of WWII were all built from plywood. What makes the sheets "marine" grade is the glue (marine grade uses waterproof glues between the plies). I'm not saying that it's a premium product or anything, but only that...

Those are good looking rigs, and the dump body is a beauty: - Are those working trucks for you?

Maybe just marine grade plywood with some anti-slip paint (the non-abrasive kind, polystyrene beads), just might do the trick.

I wonder if there's a marine solution to the problem: - Almost anything that needs to be rust-resistant and all-weather has a boating solution to it. Maybe a little time wandering around a West Marine store (or the website) might suggest a few good ideas...maybe.
