    Survive... Land in the best spot available and fly the plane under control as far into the crash as possible. Everything else is too many variables to plan for. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    That sounds like a pretty accurate synopsis of the events. My recollection is limited to what I could hear while lying on my back waiting for people to get to me. I'm very thankful for all of the rescue personnel and individuals involved in my care. I'm remarkably uninjured for what I've been through. Robb

    I've looked in the downloads section and I've gone through all of my old emails. At one time I had the Parts Manual PDF for the '68 M20C but I cant seem to find it anywhere. Anybody got a pdf version of MAN1006?

    I have the original 8 day clock on my 68C. It never worked from the time I bought it, but I finally got tired of looking at it and took it out. Took it to a local jeweler in Tulsa (http://www.jewelsbyjames.com/) and he repaired ti for less than a new one would have cost. There was a delicate shaft that had broken due to a shear force of some kind that he had to remake. I asked him if a particularly rough landing might have caused it and he seemed to think it did. Probably occurred years before I bought her when she was bellied in. Robb

    Am I sensing some sarcasm font in use here regarding Mr. Jacobs?

    I have flown into Grand Prarie twice for Cowboys games.. I wouldn't consider it walking distance. A cab ride is $20 but I bet you could prearrange a ride from someone at the FBO for less. I've never stayed overnight so I can't help there.

    I'd try to make it. I've flown in there once but not in several years,

    I'm interested.. I will contact you

    When I've flown in that area, I stopped at 23M.. Just a bit south of Meridian. Uncontrolled and cheap fuel if I remember correctly.

    I would definitely join you, but I have to work that weekend.. May fly up there for some Mexican food today though.

    They took measurements from the original which is in the EAA Museum. As far as they can tell, that plane was never flown and suffered enough damage during its storage that it could never be made airworthy. The one being built is essentially not a reproduction but serial number 2 and the first flying example. Post the Kickstarter link to your favourite aviation forums so we can see this baby in the air..

    Count me in unless I'm working. Maybe I could fly to work that day though.

    I had similar problems with my '68C recently. The grease had gotten so old and caked with grime I couldn't get the collar to engage into the floor latch (I'm assuming we decided the problem we're discussing is gear retraction/bar on floor). After putting it on jacks and relubricating the collar, it works better than it ever did. The one thing I noticed is that cold weather made it much worse..

    I'll take those for $27. I'm in need of them right now.

    Nowadays there really is very little difference after training.. DOs learn a certain amount of manipulation in med school. It's not exactly chiropractic since that came into existence after osteopathic medicine. After med school, residencies are very similar and many DOs take spots in MD residency programs now in every specialty. I had classmates that trained at Mayo Clinic in internal medicine and at Johns Hopkins..

    DO's can be ophthalmologists just like MDs. In fact they are licensed in every known specialty. If you are having significant vision problems, an ophthalmologist (MD or DO) is probably who you need to talk to.. DrRobb, DO Anesthesiologist

    I don't know if you're supposed to laminate it, but I did. My '68 was looking a bit yellowed and brittle as well.
