Jeff & All,
I will be there hopefully with Gold Rush but I'm keep an eye on the
gulf storm. Can anyone tell me why we built the few refineries we do
have in hurricane alley? Never mind.... I will be there drive or fly!
My wife may not be able to come as she's watching over 11 4 week old
Golden Doodle puppies. For you dog lovers... go to
www.goldendoodledrive.com
Looking forward to the fly in!
Regards,
Jeff R.

Just back from Wels in Austria where Bruce Morris, Mark Burton and I spent a
fair bit of time with Jos following his recent accident. He is in reasonable
spirits and making good progress medically. He looks like a boxer who picked
the wrong opponent, but is marvellously cheerful and positive to talk to,
and there seems real hope that his eye will recover. His burnt areas that
have been grafted with artificial skin are healing well.
We saw the wreckage of the plane and it appeared that the
propeller was in zero pitch or possibly negative. This fits with Jos's
description of events, that he climbed normally to 800ft, changed to cruise
mode, realised he had that set at too low rpm and decreased pitch to bring
rpm up to 5000 but then the engine speed rose above 6000 and he lost thrust,
and all attempts to change pitch then made no difference. The land ahead
area was heavily built up and he did a great job to get down more or less in
one piece. He initially aimed for a road but saw a power cable at the last
moment and swerved to land in a tree. The plane then fell out of the tree
and in short time caught fire, but he had not lost consciousness (he says it
is because Laplanders have thick heads!), and was able to get out pretty
quickly, suffering burns to just his lower legs, and trauma around his right
eye (?due to a branch)
His address for those who want to send best wishes is:
Klinicum Wels, Traumatology, 1st Floor
Grieskirchener Strasse 42
4600 Wels, Austria

For part of Cristley's email he wrote:
"One more advantage with the LED is that you can put one anywhere you can
drill a 3/16" hole, and even direct the light by angling the hole
properly. The standard 5mm LED is a push fit into a 3/16" hole. Then
you just need a small amount of room on the backside for hookup wires.
If the mounting surface is thick enough and you're careful, you can use
a #30 bit for the last 1/16" of the hole. Then you don't even need a
bevel. You wind up with a nearly hidden indicator or spot illuminator.
The push fit will keep it in place, but a dollup of shoo-goo is good for
peace-of-mind."
How true (and all the other advantages).....
The homebuilt (like a Europa or whatever) often leaves wee areas
which are dark and hard to enter. In my case I added a bunch of 3/16" holes
in the dark places, use tiny wires from them to the +&- sockets off used
9Vdc
batteries nearby (or easily accessed), and carry a fresh 9Vdc battery. One
battery serves many areas in the field, and lasts a goodly time, thanks to
LEDs.
Of course, one needs to plan the applicable resistances for each
application.
Saves on extra weight too.

The RV crowd are holding a Fly in at North Weald this weekend with 70 +
RV's already booked to arrive. If anyone fancies joining our fellow
build travellers then I' sure they will give you a warm welcome as they
have me whenever I pitched up at an RV gathering in my Europa whilst
building my RV. PPR North Weald and read the book before setting off
but don't mention the price of Avgas to anyone! If anyone is there for
the Saturday evening barbecue Dave Broom will buy you a drink.
With Paddy away in the sun it might be an interesting DOTH! I'll be
there on Saturday most of the day.

Can't bear to sell either as both are brilliant in their own ways.

Hi All,
I have had surprisingly few communications, so I am guessing the
everyone is happily looking forward to next Wednesday.
I have to remind everyone of the following.
It must be clearly understood that each and every pilot is responsible
for the safety of their own safety, and that of their passengers and
aeroplanes. Should there any misfortunes neither I, nor the Europa Club
can accept any responsibility.
On behalf of the Club I have suggested a rendezvous to meet up. For
anyone wishing to join me it their own responsibility to make proper
judgements on the advisability of doing so, and how to do it. Subsequent
rendezvous on the trip will be discussed on a daily basis, but it will
be up to each pilot and crew to decide what they want to do.
If it is half as nice as it was last year I know we are going to have
a nice time.
Please acknowledge this e-mail simply by pressing your "reply" button.
Regards to all. Bryan
