    Beginner Backflips, is this Normal ?

    Holy chit! You guys are right, senior moment here. Maybe I hit my head too many times. From a completely inverted position going counter clockwise the carbs will act like scoops going “down” into the low position. What about water in the waterbox coming back into the PFP, because clockwise the...

    Beginner Backflips, is this Normal ?

    I'm now able to get my 898 PFP Phantom 3/4 of the way around, nose of the ski and my helmet hit water at the same time. I'm completely locked into foot holds , hands on bars and perfectly on the ski except for the fact I'm upside down underwater. I spent weeks crashing at all different angles...

    Sunk the ski…all okay? Maybe?

    X2 on the Carbon Tech reeds. The “performance gain” is gone after the first 30 seconds, but if one breaks off its like cotton candy when it gets sucked into your cylinder. The stainless oem, they tend to do a little more damage.

    Other Is anyone else in to HIFI stereo?

    The CAL CL-15 was a transport/processor with a variable output so I was able to drive my amp directly. I ordered it with XLR connections and the balanced analog output stages, at the time it was one of the sweetest deals going.

    Other Is anyone else in to HIFI stereo?

    It almost funny to say this on this forum, but tuning has a lot to do with sound. Room and system. When I was into it I actually went to a grave stonecutter for a granite bass to set the amp and dac on to limit vibration. 4" thick, 3' wide, 6' long, what a joke placing that was!

    Other Is anyone else in to HIFI stereo?

    Yeah man electrostatics are unreal! You need a lot of reserve power to run em right, that's why I had the Classe' amp. And that 400 watts was class AB 400 watts , not brochure or bragging watts. The Magneplanars were true electrostatic panels , unlike some of the other guys like Martin Logan who...

    What's your view look like today?

    Had start up on some pumps where 110+ offshore windmills for South Jersey are to be built. Snapped a couple of pics of this. Notice the utility body truck, thing is huge.

    Other Is anyone else in to HIFI stereo?

    My set up was a Classe' 400 watt amplifier running class AB with Magneplanar QR Electrostatic speakers, and a California Audio Labs SACD single disc player with digital to analog conversion with all XLR connections. You could hear Diana Krall lick her lips, lol. When my girl moved in with cats I...

    Rolling a Fatty

    Looks like mountain biking has come full circle for me. My first MTB bike , 1989, was a fully rigid Cannondale with 26" wheels. After multiple 4, 5 and 6" full suspenders, 26 and 27.5 wheel bikes I'm back to a fully rigid 26er. Just finished putting this together, ICAN SNO2 26" Fatty. Turned...

    Chev Ford RAM

    Little follow up and a ride report. Luv the truck, little out of hand with the nanny BS, but use to it now. V8 is the only way to go. Just got a vin for a second one ordered, same exact as first truck except for extra cab. Guess we’re all in with Ford.

    2 Season Old Driveshaft Failure

    With am hulls and no register fit of any kind for either the pump or the mid-housing I don't bother. I align pump shaft with CF tool to bulkhead, then I bolt mid-housing onto bulkhead just making sure it is parallel, or flat on bulkhead. All the float in the bolt holes let's it marry up where it...

    2 Season Old Driveshaft Failure

    Actually the key to it working properly is to drill 2 holes. One for a zerk fitting and a second for a relief port. I did this on my FX's w/ OE mid shaft housings. Just make sure internal hole you drill lines up with the grease passage in between seals. By having a relief I could completely...

    2 Season Old Driveshaft Failure

    As an experiment on my last am hull I installed my pump, aligned it with a Cold Fusion tool , installed mid shaft. I pulled pump , reinstalled with same shims and then pulled mid shaft. When I rechecked alignment with CF tool it was way out. If you pull your pump, your alignment is gone.
