I'm not sure if this forum is the place for this, but it seems to me that we would benefit from a page that is a quick reference for parts and their sources.
So....a page for the RF4_ that lists the parts and their sources that people have found.
A separate page for the RF5_. Something that we could update over time. It would be ok if the updates need to be posted by an administrator. But if I am looking for carburetor parts, accessory belt, gaskets, etc., -- what works, where can it be found, what's the part number at that source--maybe even the last known price.
Yes, we can search through the forums, but some information is clearly passed via emails/pm's/etc. It would be nice to bring that information together into one spot.
We don't need to be exclusive. That is, if people have used more than one outrigger wheel from different sources, it would be good to list what we've found. I suppose, if you tried what seemed to be a good source and the part didn't work/wasn't right -- we can decide whether to list that it didn't work or just not list it at all. (sometimes knowing that an obvious part doesn't work can be just as important as knowing that another one does)
Anyway, it seems like a good thing to start consolidating what we've found out about parts, their sources and possibly notes on installation (if important).
Technically, I could do this for the RF5_ on my rf5b.com website, but I think having it on the more centrally used cfiamerica.com or as a sticky on this forum would be better.
