The guts are from a Tamyia Highlift like this: http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXMVP1&P=ML The body is most likely either a child's toy that he detailed out, or a plastic model kit. The plastic model kits are more detailed but also more fragile. Usually it's better to go with...

RE: Old Warbird-can That's a Yak-52 according to the FAA... http://registry.faa.gov/aircraftinquiry/NNumSQL.asp?NNumbertxt=3043R&cmndfind.x=18&cmndfind.y=12 Nice shots, thanks for sharing. -Jay

Re: Please Stop Any irony in the fact that the guy with the 6x6 m37 wants to make a 4x4 deuce? lol.. -Jay

Well it's not looking good for me. We just got our house a couple weeks ago.. Been moving like crazy. I brought my Suburban to the house the first day but hadn't had a chance to look at it. (It's been sitting in a field since June). Fired right up (always does), ran down the road good, but...

RE: veh A buddy of mine was riding with 7 other guys in one of those in Iraq... Truck hit a mine/IED and blew the heck up... Flipped over backwards and landed on it's roof. Whole truck was destroyed. The driver had a black eye because of something that was not strapped down on the dash...

Re: Radio Oooooo you got the BIG Heathkit... I had an SB200.. Really nice piece. In fact I recognize a lot of your gear. I liked that older stuff, just wish I held on to some of it. -Jay

I never understood selling like this... and you see it pretty often.. "Give me $2000 or it's going in the trash can." ???? Shouldn't it be more like "It's going in the trash unless someone comes and gets it before ..." -Jay

Here's a video one of the guys posted on the R/C site.. http://www.trojanhorsemen.com/horsemen_video.wmv I need to find some full scale pilots and start hanging around. Right now I have zero chance of bumming a ride in anything let alone a cool old warbird. -Jay

Figure I'll help out with this forum a little.... I've been flying R/C aircraft for about 3 years. Started with helicopters (yes, backwards, should start with fixed wing) but recently I've become interested in airplanes. I'm starting with cheap foam models as I expect I will destroy a few...

I have no specific plans this spring.. April works as good as any other time.. My Suburban is having a tcase issue... but I could probably have it resolved by then. Heck that's a long way off.. I might even have a deuce or something by then.. -Jay

That is awesome! It's been a couple years since I've played with my R/C trucks so I haven't really kept up with it. Wonder how much he wants to make another.. lol. -Jay

Yeah that's the site I was trying to remember earlier!! I like his approach.. using a Tamiya semi with a TLT front axle... now you could use a Hi-lift trans/transfer case but if I remember correctly that guy custom built his own transfer case. So there's your running gear.. all off the shelf...

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: thanks M1075! Search dma's posts (his hemtt threads) there is a shot of the block ramps they built to load/unload his hemtt. Looked fairly safe and straight forward.

I dunno... those look pretty well mutilated to me.. ;)

Wow... Nice Suuppeeer Duty

Here's a couple pics of the winch install on my Suburban. The clevis' are mounted in such a way that I could use a military towbar if I wanted to. That was part of the plan. I got my winch for $50 with the big plate that it's mounted to. I don't have access to a welder so I used a cutoff...

I like it... damn priorities... -Jay

RE: Re: RE: Wisconsin allegedly cancelling Military vehicle It's not the same thing but it is similar.... I moved from New Jersey to Arkansas recently. I own a 16 foot car trailer that weighs around 2000lbs. New Jersey DOES NOT issue titles on trailers under 2500lbs. When I moved here I went...

If anyone wants to go I'm still in. But if not that's ok too. -Jay

Doesn't matter to me.. But honestly the venue doesn't matter to me either. I just want to get out and wheel, and see some MVs wheel. I only wish I could have had a deuce of my own by now. -Jay
