Hi! David.
So why didn't you come to the Elvington Event at the Yorkshire Air Museum on
Sunday 6th July.
when I was there and only 4 private aircraft had flown in to attend! There
was a host of celebrations going on with a large public attendance. A museum
well worth a trip.
No one in attendance at the airfield so a freebie !
regards
Bob Harrison G-PTAG

About 2 weeks ago there were some messages posted on this forum about Sir
George Caley's glider, and reference to the intended flight of a replica.
I am now able to update you all about the actual event, which was witnessed
by two of my friends, both PPL's of much experience who live close to the
late Sir George's home, Brompton Dale, near Scarborough, North Yorkshire; a
descendant of Sir George still lives in the house.
It was decided that the original 1853 glider, which is housed in the Museum
at Elvington airfield, Yorkshire, could not be taken out for this
anniversary. British Aerospace agreed to make a replica in their factory at
Brough, and this was completed on time. (Brough is the home of BAE Hawk
manufacture).

Now, Robert,
Perhaps David didn't go because he had previous commitments. I
didn't go either. The reason may have been that there was insufficient
warning (The US preps have been underway for 2-1/2 years), or that it was
not really an anniversary (I believe the original event occurred in
December?), or that the US is celebrating sustained powered flight, rather
than gliding downhill. It may be passing strange that the whole event was a
scheme of a certain millionaire to advertise his airline (curiously
available for a flypast at season's peak), and his 'flamboyant style' (read
pompous hype).
Real aviators don't wear fake beards (unless it's a scam, like
Granny's solo).
I'd like to read the full text of the Wright brothers'
testimonial to Cayley's pioneering, rather than join a circus. Mind you,
.......got to give the snakeoil salesman his due.
Cheers, Ferg

Fred,
Doesn't Rotax specify a 50 volt cap? I would think that a
momentary spike across the cap. would be tolerated. Have you looked at
"Lectric Bobs" over voltage unit and how its wired ? Fortunately, I use
my 40A system and use B&C 's voltage regulator which has a built in OV
unit and my regulator will shut off the field voltage.
Come on Fred, lets get yours in the air!!! Your are getting
close aren't you??

Fred,
That sounds like a very good idea using a Zener Diode to protect
the bus. With a light to show the high voltage, you can turn off the
alternator and get back on the ground with the battery only.

Does anybody have a good source for a replacement of the small vacuum hoses
on the fuel pressure regulator on the 914 engine? I had a problem with one of
those and have doubts about the quality of the hoses themselves. I am tempted
to go with tygon. The hoses can both leak and pinch, causing problems.
Thanks,
Dave

Hi Nev,
Wish I could have the time flown off but it looks like I will have to miss
Oshkosh again this year. Jeanne and I had planned on taking a couple of
weeks and taking a flying trip with a stop at the big show. It is just not
working out with my work and Jeanne's as well.
I will plan on picking you up when you arrive in Tampa. Here is my cell
phone number in case I am running late or something. 695-1120.
I hope we have a chance to get together while your here. Perhaps Lee can
get you up in N166BB. I haven't had a chance to get my medical so I am not
flying yet.
Regards,
Bob

Airport. Lee Omernik was the test pilot for the first flight which lasted
approx. 20 minutes in 93F degree temps. Engine temps stayed in the green
even after a 15 minute taxi. Squawks were a slightly erratic FlyDat and
fuel odor. Power is 912ULS and Prince P tip prop.
