New engine new plastics and graphics!
« on: June 30, 2013, 08:08:47 AM »
I'm retired Navy so I took a liking to these decals/graphics! The water pump spur gear broke off the crank shaft a while back. After rebuilding the entire engine I thought why not some new plastic and graphics!

The four stroke engine: That's one stroke for producing power and three for wearing the engine out.

It's for sale...

Key word was "wish"

But wow I could have bought one for $650,000  15 years ago but i decided to get a KX500. the return on 650k would have been pretty good.

Wait but I didn't have 650k then or now.

OK like the lottery "wish"

Glad I do have a K5.

If you are like me, you know that owning a P-51 Mustang regardless of the revision, will never happen.
However, for the cost of buying a KX500 you can fly a P-51:

You know you want to...  :lol:
