Re: Picture of the week

Yup, the E-Bunny showed up early in my hangar this year..........

It's spring break for a lot of schools so we have many visiting families this week. I've got a gig to do tomorrow night to hand out Easter Baskets and goodies as the E-Bunny......

Re: Picture of the week

Jon,

you don't know how happy it makes me to see someone else with a big ol' pan underneath his Taylorcraft!! I always feel a little guilty about the amount of oil mine drips to "mark territory."

Nice bunny suit, too. What is the approximate terminal velocity of an Easter egg when dropped from a Taylorcraft, anyway?

Thanks for the nice pic!

Re: Picture of the week

whats with that drip pan. That should be under a Stearman. Why does it leak? jc

Re: Picture of the week

the E-Bunny

Would that be the Easter Bunny or the Energizer Bunny?

Re: Picture of the week

Don't assume a pan under a cowl means the engine leaks. The airport where I am REQUIRES a pan under every engine (although most don't so it). I have a very nice pan under mine and have never had a drop in it.

OK, I once was very glad it was there on an especially exciting oil change. WHAT A MESS!

Re: Picture of the week

For a moment I thought I might have a problem with 43740, no leaks. How come the oil pan has a big black stain in the middle? I think I'll get one and polish it for future pictures. FanJet

Re: Picture of the week

The picture is of Pete Rintamaki's nice experimental T-craft. He got the cub guys attention at Valdez...good job!

Re: Picture of the week

OK, let's just call him the "T-ster Bunny"............

and the oil pan........... it does catch a few drops after each flight from the breather tube. Those few drops disperse, then as the the hangar door commences it's opening, a low pressure area is momentarily created, sucking in fine sand from the "lawn" outside which sticks in the oil making it look like a bigger leak than it is. I did try polishing the pan, but the sand kept scratching it................ : )
