Filtering for "IFTTT"

• 30 May, 2020 I keep having to scoot this rat snake off of my driveway. He has a hard time on the blacktop surface.
• 10 May, 2020 Been at this project three years. Today was the very first time I sat in it. Airplane noises were made. #myzenith750
• 24 Apr, 2020 Okay engineers, anyone have a better method for making a 122mm hole in my wing skin? #myzenith750
• 18 Apr, 2020 I need to make a YouTube video on things I wish I’d known before I started building this thing. For example, Milwaukee makes a cordless rivet puller that I now own but wish I had bought the first day. #myzenith750
• 01 Feb, 2020 Not going to build itself #myzenith750
• 18 Jan, 2020 At 5am in a 33 degree hangar blue flames are awesome.
• 10 Jan, 2020 It getting old yet? Nope. #tigerbaron
• 29 Dec, 2019 Managed to get all four flaperons finished up before sunrise. #myzenith750
• 22 Dec, 2019 Despite marrying a sailor, my wife is known for her mostly PG-13 mouth. Today she was putting a turkey in the oven when she realized halfway through setting a timer that she had forgotten to put the herbs in the cavity. Ladies and gentlemen, present you with Alexa’s capture of my wife’s “dirty mouth”. Sound on.
• 22 Dec, 2019 The same thing we do every morning Pinky. #myzenith750
• 23 Sep, 2019 I was super nervous to cut the struts to length. Turns out a metal cutting blade on my miter saw made it a snap. #myzenith750
• 20 Sep, 2019 Flying an airplane with onboard radar sure is great. #tigerbaron
• 28 Aug, 2019 My Dad did close to 400 rivets today. #myzenith750
• 21 Aug, 2019 Calling approach into Beaufort for a 10 degree deviation for “a little weather” was a good call.
• 01 Aug, 2019 Bill captured my approach in the rain from the right seat. I turned a much closer in base leg than usual to avoid the heavy rain just to the south of the airport. #tigerbaron
• 06 Jul, 2019 Brake cylinders on the rudder pedals. Check. #myzenith750
• 26 Jun, 2019 Doesn’t get old. Also, windshield bugs.
• 23 Jun, 2019 I have 13 vertebrae fused in my spine so laying on a hard surface is pretty painful. But if it doesn’t kill you and all that... #myzenith750
• 21 Jun, 2019 I have thousands of dollars worth of fancy tools but sometimes the right tool for the job is a six dollar hack saw and some elbow grease. #myzenith750
• 16 Jun, 2019 Rivet day #myzenith750
• 24 May, 2019 It’s fast enough that it’s hard for the camera guy to focus and keep it in frame, but it sure does sound cool. #tigerbaron
• 26 Apr, 2019 Designing Avionics components. What else would someone even do on a Friday night?
• 10 Mar, 2019 Checking off bucket list items faster in the last year than any other time in my life. Royals spring training: check
• 25 Feb, 2019 I work really fast. Is 4 pots of coffee a lot? #myzenith750
• 15 Feb, 2019 I have exactly one multi engine flight in my logbook. So the instructor thought my first simulator landing should be with the left engine out. Not too shabby. #pilotthuglife
• 30 Jan, 2019 The weather outside is frightful....
• 24 Jan, 2019 Got the RedBird all set up. Pretty sweet
• 18 Jan, 2019 View from my office today. Beautiful. Then a decent to minimums through this to a fogged in runway.
• 10 Jan, 2019 Gorgeous day to be an airplane nut
• 05 Dec, 2018 Morning study time ambiance today
• 24 Nov, 2018 Caleb is diving in the tank at EPCOT
• 18 Nov, 2018 Saw this cool trick by Jon Croke of homebuilthelp. When working with large aluminum sheets by yourself, it’s easier to roll them up. Reassembling this wing after all the deburring and prepped work to rivet. Then done with this one. #myzenith750
• 18 Nov, 2018 I generally like metal work. Prep work is easier if you think “I get to” rather than “I have to”. #myzenith750
• 11 Nov, 2018 Everyone waits until November and it’s in the low 40s before they power wash the deck right?
• 04 Nov, 2018 Each spar has 101 holes to be drilled. Then again on the top. Then repeat for the other wing. Oh and since these are pilot holes that need to be expanded I’ll drill each of these holes 2 more times. 1212 holes drilled just for the wing spars. I fully understand the grin people have on their first flight. Gotta earn it. #soreshoulders #myzenith750
• 07 Oct, 2018 And flip. #myzenith750
• 29 Sep, 2018 Time for the first two burns of the fall.
• 28 Sep, 2018 Here we go again with riveting Friday nights.... #myzenith750
• 16 Sep, 2018 I’m thinking of becoming a weatherman. I called it almost exactly. The hurricane is passing over us right now. This far inland we have light rain one afternoon. Hardly even remarkable for a city that averages 40 inches of rainfall a year. I wonder what all the people in Asheville who hoarded bread, milk and gas are going to do with it all.
• 02 Sep, 2018 I’m on a “playing the long game with long game kinda people” kick lately. Putting my money where my mouth is. #myzenith750
• 07 Aug, 2018 It’s light enough that we just carried it on and off the trailer. #myzenith750
• 26 Jul, 2018 T-28 start up
• 21 Jul, 2018 Takes 2 hours to put up a free standing 3 hammock rig in a field but makes a pretty cool result. #airventure2018
• 04 Jul, 2018 Caleb’s always been a metalworking kinda guy. Since I’m making an all metal plane he doesn’t need much arm twisting. Now if the camera man would put down the camera to hold the piece..:. #myzenith750
• 30 Jun, 2018 Hey, I know that guy on page 24 of Sport Aviation magazine.
• 25 Jun, 2018 Ingredients to build an airplane include... baby powder??? #myzenith750
• 16 Jun, 2018 My riveter is prettier than yours. #myzenith750
• 11 Jun, 2018 Monday evening blues. Doing it anyway. No build no fly. #myzenith750
• 08 Jun, 2018 Flew through the mountain pass where Chimney Rock is. You can see where the parking lot slid down the hill during the flooding last week.
• 28 May, 2018 Still unsure about these seats :)
• 28 May, 2018 These seats are not too shabby
• 23 May, 2018 Wing delivery day #myzenith750
• 18 May, 2018 Attach the cockpit assembly to the plane day. Woot! #myzenith750
• 03 May, 2018 My Dad and a boat. Life is good.
• 23 Apr, 2018 I want to do the Zenith logo on my instrument panel (and a couple other places) in aluminum. Test run on hdpe turned out great. #myzenith750 #zenithaircraft #homebuiltaircraft
• 20 Apr, 2018 The Test carve they include was boring so I changed it to something a little more up my alley.
• 20 Apr, 2018 It’s alive. Woot. #inventables
• 14 Apr, 2018 Time to put the fuselage halves together and cover up the arm biting chefs knife features of this plane. #myzenith750
• 07 Apr, 2018 The only way to do a thousand hour project… One hour at a time. #myzenith750
• 29 Mar, 2018 Guess which drillbit I don’t have a replacement for? #myzenith750
• 28 Mar, 2018 About a twentieth of the brush and tree junk in my yard I need to burn.
• 19 Mar, 2018 It’s time to build the airplanes
• 05 Mar, 2018 Surprising amount of activity at this pretty remote airport.
• 04 Mar, 2018 We were “followed” by a phenom jet into Macon County airport. We were out of the plane and almost done refueling before he was on the ground.
• 03 Dec, 2017 Caleb and I Spent the day helping Jerry with the annual inspection on his Quickie. Not only did the engine not have any parts left over when we put it back together, it even started… #pilotthuglife
• 21 Oct, 2017 I do love how easy the wings fold on this plane.
• 21 Oct, 2017 Happened to catch a Zenith 750 on the field today. @zenithaircraft
• 12 Oct, 2017 Just want to shout out to @zenithaircraft for making the solidworks model available. Taking measurements for creating an @xplaneofficial model of a Cruzer is about 100 times easier now
• 01 Oct, 2017 Great thing about doing the plane build in the garage is that any free 30 minutes means progress. Will be much harder when it’s too big to fit in here and I need to finish it at the airport #myzenith750
• 24 Sep, 2017 At the end of the @zenithaircraft banquet last night the guys from Avolution did a little flyby on their way home. Now I want an Eclipse 500...
• 23 Sep, 2017 Roger showing off the short takeoff of the 750 SD @zenithaircraft
• 23 Sep, 2017 This unpainted cruiser has the Viking engine that I’m buying. I can’t believe how quiet it is. Standing just 10 feet from it
• 21 Aug, 2017 The clouds literally parted for 4 minutes where we were today at the exact time.
• 21 Aug, 2017 Clouds moved out just in time.
• 05 Aug, 2017 How fun are pancake breakfasts at the airport? Jerry dancing fun. That's how fun.
• 31 Jul, 2017 I did manage to get Proteus climbing out
• 28 Jul, 2017 Blue Angels are practicing right on top of us again
• 25 Jul, 2017 Warbird air show just kicking off
• 19 Jul, 2017 We're turning so fast I can't even tell we're turning. #somethingaintright
• 12 Jul, 2017 "That thing sounds like an angry food processor..." #pilotthuglife
• 03 Jun, 2017 Some of the aircraft maneuvering at today's event felt a lot like my time on aircraft carrier flight decks
• 03 Jun, 2017 Landing was even shorter. Sheesh
• 03 Jun, 2017 Now that's a short takeoff. This is the owner of Just Aircraft in SC showing off.
• 03 Jun, 2017 Darwin just finished building this RV-4.
• 27 May, 2017 Building the baggage compartment this morning. Don't worry, gripping a bulletproof coffee. #myzenith750
• 13 May, 2017 Prototype for skid slip indicator
• 13 May, 2017 I'm super happy with how bright this is. I think It might even be bright enough in full sunlight in a cockpit.
• 30 Apr, 2017 Landing a Grumman Cheetah from the right seat at Hendersonville with a lot of forward slip.
• 28 Apr, 2017 When you carry too much speed to the runway you level off... and... float... float... aaaannnddd touch down. Sheesh. Full flight here: http://buff.ly/2pe9j3f #pilotproblems
• 08 Apr, 2017 Does this count for my airplane's first barrel roll?
