     Hey Tim. :) Haven't been around much myself and then I check in to find ACFT maint. :o Pretty cool though, you be sure to do a "Jam-up" job on that puppy cause we don't want you in a position to where you have some problems UP THERE. :o Not like you can just pull over, get out and walk, ya know. :(  You have some decent projects going, but I'm kinda missing the ol' Frankenbike AND that cool exhaust!

                                      Take care Tim, Bill ;)

I've Updated the Frankenbike project with new pic's Bill  ;)

        All Right! 8)  I'm on it! ;)

thats awsome kghost,
    its always nice to see other peoples aircraft projects
       heres some pics of a project ive been working on for a little over a year
          840hp garret turbine.... feels like your sitting in a dragster on takeoff
                check out the site for more pics and some really cool short take off and landing videohttp://sherpaaircraft.com/video.html
Funny thing about regret is...... its better to regret something you have done than to regret something you haven't done.

I just got done reading an article about the Sherpa! Glad to see you went turbine version. So when are you going to Alaska to work as a bush pilot?

And for me, I am more interested in flying them. All though I have helped out a couple home builders with avionics... Let me check a couple mags I have at work and get back to you about where I read the article. I am thinking it was either Business Aviation or Midwest Flyer.

             if your talking about putting that -8 garret in a piel i think you would be pretty overpowered, the only ones ive ever heard of had about 100hp rolls royce engines.....
       now think about putting a -10 garret in a sherpa.........SUPER SHERPA!!
