Hi Murphy

I joined the group to gather information on vintage machines, 15-91 and my 201-2 gear driven machines.

Sounds like you've had an exciting life! :)

You've come to the right place to learn about your machines. Check out the Vintage Machine section.

Hi frugalfabrics
Wow...talk about name chosen...Lol Listen frugal, in addition to my few machines, I have a collection of artificial joints. A beautiful titanium left full blown sucker, and a nifty titanium right knee, fitted with space age plastics. How's that for a collection to be proud of. And here the kicker, I earned them doing physical labor all my life since I left school at 16. Why am I proud? Well, to serve in the US Air Force, I had to forge school papers that I completed the 10th grade. On top of that, I finished high school and almost have an associate degree in aircraft maintenance, shy 13 credits. I studied and passed the 4 days of testing by the FAA, to earn my FAA maintenance certifications, both airframe and power plant. I worked in aviation for 48.5 years, just retired as an certified aircraft safety inspector. How's that for a collection of, 'so whats'.
Oh...frugal, by the way, I am currently writing a science fiction novel. Read my thirteen chapters I have posted at:
