You use your hands and feet to drive. Flying isn't hard.

It's never too late. Find an airport near you, call an FBO, and go for an introductory flight ($50-$150) and see if you like it. Too much fun.

duddyflash · 03-02-2012, 01:43 PM

Ive always been hooked on flying.
on a side note here in Indiana we are going thru some wacky weather.

Nealy paintball sized hail.

Rubbr Chickin · 03-02-2012, 01:44 PM

You gonna try shooting them? Lol

duddyflash · 03-02-2012, 01:46 PM

I was but they melted. Im sure Ill get some more

Rubbr Chickin · 03-02-2012, 03:15 PM

We don't get much hail in Vermont. I've only seen it 3 times, and only once have I seen it between dime and nickle size.

duddyflash · 03-02-2012, 03:43 PM

Its been a while for us.

Rubbr Chickin · 03-02-2012, 04:24 PM

Living in Vermont isnt very interesting.

Ive been working on my iPod, gonna use it to capture video in paintball. I got it in pink because the 16gb Nano cost about $40 less than a black Nano of the same size. Unfortunately while pulling it apart so I could grind it easier, I broke the hold button so I cant lock it anymore. But ill move on without it, its not worth the $90 Parts/ Labor to fix it.

So, for those of you who don't know... I'm a pilot. I go to school to become a professional pilot and today, this B-29 came in and I messed my pants. The B-29 (Enola Gay and Boxcar) was the bomber that dropped the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki to end the war with the Japanese in 1945.

"FIFI" is the only B-29 left flying in the world.

Here are some sweet pics I took with a P-51 Mustang in the last one.

I saw a b49 a few years ago that was touring around the country, it was pretty sweet, if what I'm doing now doesn't work out I think I'm going to become an aircraft mechanic lol

B49 doesn't exist... lol. What'd it look like? (how many engines, what was its nickname, etc?)

Also, within the next few years, almost all of the A&P (mechanics) are going to retire and there will be a huge demand coming. This means a good salary of at least $50K.

Rubbr Chickin · 03-02-2012, 08:02 PM

Well, looks like its time to switch from auto to aviation. Lol

similar to the enola, 4 engine WW2 bomber, was still flying you could pay to ride it

I'm an electrician right now the pay is great but at times I wish I did something with a little less stress but hopefully I might have a bit of work with homeland security/tsa

ChesterMolester · 03-03-2012, 07:21 PM

Probably a B-17 or a B-24. Cool stuff.

I'm terrible with electricity. It's like another language. I know a little bit, but definitely not enough to be safe. I'm pretty sure I'd die if I was an electrician.

GOT MY SP NERVE TODAY! Spent 6 hours making it work and cleaning it but totally worth $70. lol

Rubbr Chickin · 03-03-2012, 09:31 PM

I bought another original Sonix today. Paid double what I wanted to, but worth it.

I'm not bad with electricity. I have some general knowledge, and I wired my garage becuause the previous owner wired it with extension cords. Not a pro job, but it got the job done. I plan on fixing it in the spring when I put in more lights.

LOLOL.

How many Sonix's do you have?

I'm getting WAY too comfortable with buying things on here. Money is disappearing rapidly even though I am getting great deals on everything. lol. Just picked up a J&J Edge Kit for my Nerve for $45 shipped.

Need. To. Stop. But. Can't.

Rubbr Chickin · 03-03-2012, 10:15 PM

Yea, bad design on his part. And not nice orange 100' cables either, he used those crappy 2-prong 3-port 3' extensions you can buy at a dollar store.

I only have two so far. I love these things. So simple, yet so effective. And they are loud too. Make great rentals, but I might use it a lot myself.

I've bought one here on PBN, and the one I bought today was on eBay. There's one on Criagslist for $50 with a ton of stuff, but unfortunately it's a 1 1/2 hour drive one way to get it.

I'm always on the BST, just wish I had more money lol.

ChesterMolester · 03-03-2012, 10:50 PM

I want to work my way up to a G6R or a DM10+ but won't spend the cash at the moment.

I'm starting to look for cheap stuff on CL and then turn around and sell it on here to aid my addiction. lol. I found a Bob Long Rapper with a 68/45 and Halo V35 for $325 but the seller never messaged me back. I could have easily made the money back by just selling the Rapper itself and the rest would have been pure profit...

Money is so hard to make and so easy to spend... lol.

Also saw an A-5 for $30. Not sure why I didn't buy that one... oh wells.

Rubbr Chickin · 03-03-2012, 11:07 PM

There isn't much in the paintball genre on Craigslist here in Vermont. Most is either too far from me or the asking price is too much. Makes me sad.

ChesterMolester · 03-03-2012, 11:46 PM

Nothing in neighboring NY or NH?

Ask some people to meet halfway. If they do, it makes things a good bit easier.

Whiteyboy · 03-04-2012, 12:28 AM

The PB gear on CL around here is usually overpriced, but every once in awhile there will be a nice find. I once picked up a LNIB V2 Mini with a Virtue board, Dye UL barrel, Reloader B (Virtue crown & rip kit) & a PE 68/4500 with a Empire tank cover for $300. It also came with some voodoo grips, the stock barrel and board. I had it for a little while but sold it off since I wasn't really using it and made a bit extra.
