Quoted from necro_nemesis

A couple of buddies are working on a couple Skybolts's.

Think you mean Super Skybolts

Regular Skybolts don't have a canopy

Mike

The pic is off the net but yes closed canopy.

I don't want to even being to get into personally collecting these things. Better to have friends that have them. If you want to go through a lot of money in a short period of time you can either bury it in the backyard or buy an airplane.

The old saying.

If it flies, floats or f.... your better off...

Quoted from MrMikeman

Well I've been completely out for a while now and I have to admit....  I don't even miss it a little bit..  Kinda sad really..  

I've been going through some major changes at home...  Wife left...  No reason other than her menopause.. I really got rid of my stuff at the right time...   No leverage for her...

Hi to the guys I know...  Enjoy the summer..  I might be back next fall for a visit..

Mike

Mike,

Well it's understandable that you don't miss the hobby too much with a major change like that happening in your life.  That would take the wind out of anybody's sail.  Anyways I wish you all the best and remember things happen for a reason, try to stay positive, and go out with friends and family and most of all try to have some fun.  Your new hobby looks like a good distraction to take your mind off things.

Sorry to hear about the issues at the home front, Mike. I wish you the best and hope things get better soon.

You got me thinking about the difference between a Skybolt and a Super Skybolt so I had to ask.

I asked my buddy this morning about the "Super" designation since I hadn't heard that term before from them. He thinks it might be a licensing issue with the name for modeling. He was aware of variations which were Skybolt standard, delta and radial with various engine packages. The one apart has the 0-360 modified to pump out 200+ HP.  It has a canopy but he still is saying it's just a "Skybolt".

Christ... I leave for 2 days and all hell breaks loose!!!

1- glad to see you are (somewhat) back Mike!

2- Sorry to hear about the marital situation... never fun, especially when you have no idea why.

3- Come to a meeting and just shoot the mess... enjoy some free time...
