I would wait for the wet but thats me. And you would need a rollbar with the mph I think you wil trap. Get rid of the ET Streets go full slick and skinnies up front. Your 9" will more than handle them.

Now THAT would be fun!!!! I think the 4.30's might be too much gear down here. Hope I don't have to shift into 5th.

Right on a fellow tandum rotor head guy... Ya 53's are pretty fen cool.

Inspecting Blackhawks now. Little bit of a learning curve.

I was in the 160th Special ops "Nightstalkers" as a Flight engineer/crewchief. Miss that a lot.. we did some pretty cool stuff

**Z28Thunder** · 03-05-2010, 08:43 PM

HMM-266 SAR/Cold weather well until DS/DS broke out. I did avaition life support (saftey gear,chutes,ejection seat,lox). Yeah I know helo's dont eject but you are trained for all in the Marines. When I got the shop caught up I would always help flight engineers and crewchiefs. Had plans to get my A&P and work on the Martin Baker seat at McDonell Douglas. When I got out in 91 the aircraft industry was going through bad times... Wow I got this way off topic sorry about that..
