William./All I'll try my best to make it to the SLEAP airfield on Thursday.(The only enemy is the weather, my event on Friday really was on safety borderline, we shouldn't be pushing ourselves to take those kind of risks) However to reinforce my point of having spontaneous Fly In events I can't help looking out of the window thinking why in hell's name I aren't going flying today? Instead of waiting for Thursday with what you admit just may have some doubt because of the blessed weather. I at present can't see a cloud except vapour trails, vis is about 10 miles. If interested "punters" had registered and exchanged 'phone numbers we could be on our way in just over an hour including rigging time or as Ivan Shaw once said at "Sun and Fun" he could have started in the car park and still won the race! I'm thinking of starting a weekly Fly In event called :- "Big Boy's Toys Instant Decision Weekday Fly Away "!? My Wife says "keep it simple call it Geri's Day Out " ( get her drift ---geriatrics!) By the way .....Kingsley Hurst in OZ ..... My Son, who starts a new job this morning , has just sent me a text message .... He's heard that the "UK are to suspend Australian wine imports ........... due to SOUR GRAPES !!!!!!" Regards Bob Harrison.

I have used this near the exhaust (after charring my first cowling near the silencer). It works well, but is quite expensive.

Silicone seems to be much more difficult to get off when spread thinly!

The concept is to have a venue arranged with a freebie landing. We have our aeroplanes ready and waiting for the baton holder (you in this case) to declare the day. You certainly cant please all of the people all of the time. The weather on the day may be unsuitable for some to get there. The day selected will almost certainly be wrong for others. Whatever! The baton holder chooses. That's part of the fun of it. You cant decide by committee. It could even stretch to a week or so before a good weather slot turns up, but the choice of a potential good turn out, or not may depend on it. Have fun with the weather gods, we will keep watching.

Just finished my aileron servo install. Before I did it I asked everyone I could find how they ran the wires. Everyone I talked to came out the front edge of the aileron. I kept picturing that getting caught on something and interfering with aileron movement. I drilled in the from the outboard edge of the aileron near the wing tip. I ran 1/4 tubing along the leading edge to the servo. In the wing in ran a larger tube like an S from my wing conduit to the wing tip close out. So when I run the wire it goes in a tube within a tube, at a point with very little relative movement. I'll have pictures on the site soon, I upgraded my system software and my auto site builder program not longer runs. Chat later, SteveD. A217 After reading that description you know why I take a lot of pictures.... : ) ________________________________ Message 12 ____________________________________ Time: 11:01:00 PM PST US From: "William Mills" Subject: Re: Europa-List: UK Weekday Fly-in --> Europa-List message posted by: "William Mills" Dear All, THURSDAY is still looking good for SLEAP. I will only change it if the weather slot moves Please give me an idea who is going to attend for the catering request. Regards, William
