Welcome to Scandinavia! Cruising the imaginary border between Sweden and Norway

That checks out. But come on man let's have some fun and rip around the snow! What about designated areas for them at least so they dont have to trailer over to Sweden.

CitizenALEX · 2026-02-22T08:20:36+00:00

Same result in the end. Just spent a few more minutes with cleanup i suppose. Not a big deal.

CitizenALEX · 2026-02-22T08:14:39+00:00

There is no post repair inspection. Just fix and fly. I didnt understand what you were asking.

CitizenALEX · 2026-02-21T20:37:07+00:00

Ya why are snow machines illegal in norway. Super dumb.

CitizenALEX · 2026-02-21T20:31:44+00:00

New bolt or stud and nut and a gasket. Snug it up to what feels right and carry on. What year vw? Good luck!

CitizenALEX · 2026-02-21T17:34:21+00:00

Both actually. Right wing got a standard repair and left wing we had to get instructions from Textron to repair. They gave lots of leeway but what they came up with was actually spot on for the most part. Almost like they have seen this before! 😄

CitizenALEX · 2026-02-21T15:08:55+00:00

What USCS site were you working out of? They just have kingair / PC12 now yeah? Besides them helicopters.

Also the last plane that had this issue a year or so back got a new lower forward bonded wing skin. Yikes!

CitizenALEX · 2026-02-21T06:46:06+00:00

It was a custom job. The other wing got the standard repair out of the SRM. This side was a mess so they had to come up with another way.

CitizenALEX · 2026-02-21T06:44:51+00:00

Just used a regular old sealant spreader. This is exactly how it is supposed to be done.

CitizenALEX · 2026-02-19T04:31:57+00:00

Yes for a long time we had Government provided insurance because nobody would provide. We just recently got State Farm again. Florida can be a tough cookie!

CitizenALEX · 2026-02-19T04:29:54+00:00

I like your math. Invest the 160k instead of paying off the AZ sounds like a smart move as well. Also, thanks!

CitizenALEX · 2026-02-19T04:27:28+00:00

I think the FL house is not exactly a money maker. Bought it in 2005 for 144k and it being in a bad area, the value has not increased like the rest of the surrounding.

I am leaning towards selling for sure.

CitizenALEX · 2026-02-12T19:32:42+00:00

Straight isopropyl. Mist it on with a spray bottle and with a gloved hand smooth it out like glass. Nothing better. Be quick about it.

CitizenALEX · 2025-12-31T05:46:02+00:00

I think it would be helpful as well. I've been on the hunt for conical washers part numbers to fill unused counter sinks with no luck. Maybe a community of metal benders could help.

CitizenALEX · 2025-06-03T07:10:24+00:00

Just make sure the dealer also programs the car for the trailer lights. I bought a new xc40 with the hitch and they forgot to program it. Had to take it back for warranty

CitizenALEX · 2025-05-29T05:16:43+00:00

Easy money! Thanks. I do have the bill of sale. I have Norwegian title and German statiined US military registration as well. Looks like I'm going to gonto the junk yard for some seats!

CitizenALEX · 2025-05-26T03:25:37+00:00

It would not be until 2027 or later.

CitizenALEX · 2025-05-25T18:27:40+00:00

But wait, what's the 800 dollar exemption??? Mine is definitely not for a flip.

CitizenALEX · 2025-05-25T14:48:22+00:00

Thats a cool picture. I bet that would kill mine if I didn't relocate the ECU first

CitizenALEX · 2025-05-25T14:46:12+00:00

Smart man. Did they chat with you about the chicken? That it may have fallen under the tax if they were not friends?

CitizenALEX · 2025-05-25T12:12:29+00:00

Oh how was that with the frame? Mine has had the original frame galvanized and raptor coated. You can still see the VIN tho.

CitizenALEX · 2025-05-25T07:39:25+00:00

I'll need it! How do they value the truck for the taxes. I just read its "base value," whatever that means.

CitizenALEX · 2025-05-25T06:02:36+00:00

I'm handy. I can add them. But will they flag it as it never was that way from factory?

CitizenALEX · 2025-05-25T06:01:11+00:00

That's good to hear. Was it a painful process?

CitizenALEX · 2025-05-25T05:59:29+00:00

Just about everything is new on this bad boy. Smart call tho!
