Sorry Raimo, no membership in the high altitude club for non turbos ;-)
Congrats to Marke for her superb R 44 handling skills - what I have heard is, that
the R 44 handling is not too easy.
Best wishes

Donald - thanks for that - I wasn't aware of that corrections page. The new numbers

Carl,
Yes I do have the HD original. It's even better than the YouTube posting, which
degrades the original a bit.
Bob,
I'm not sure what you mean by image shake. Do you mean vibration from the prop
and the fuselage? The GroPro is mounted to the cabin roof, just aft of the seats.
I don't think it has built in image stabilising software, so it must be my
smooth flying!!
If you mean the absence of prop strobing, that's down to a little neutral density
filter popped inside the GoPro case in front of the lens. I cut a piece the
size and shape of a one euro coin from a sheet of theatrical lighting filter
acetate. Works wonders.

I took some rotary wing lessons in an R22. It was a bit like skipping over
a rope, patting my head with one arm and patting my tummy with the other
while winking with one eye and singing at the same time.
Oh, and the best part was that it was tearing $100 bills and tossing them
out of the window while I was doing it.
Kudos to Marke !!

New community college opened in our city, offers rotory wing lessons as
one of their curriculum. One kid was complaining about the $30k cost,
per semester (includes everything - 4 semesters required). I told him
he was luck to be able to get his ticket that cheap. He gave me a funny
look, then I told him what the typical cost was... :)

Hi Roland,
what=B4s a minimum altitude which make sense when
overflying The Alps?
We feel comfortable to the FL 80 and have tested
our poor non-turbo to the FL 170 (awful). She was
still bravely climbing 100 ft/minute but I was
finished.
It is well flyable say to the FL 100-120 but I
hate it is not so stable platform there any more.
*******
OK, Roland, maybe no membership for us in the High
Alt Club (HAC) but how is your membership in Mile
High Club (MHC) ? I have to say we confirmed our
old but trusty membership couple of times in the
back cabin in our very privat AN-2 during the
summers 2012 and 2013. Ask me nice maybe we can
rent it for you but you have to find your company
by yourself, because my wife will be sitting in
the cockpit with me then (it is mandatory today to
have a two people crew during AN-2 operations).
Can you Roland handle this ?
*******
You are right - I managed to keep it (R44) in
control say 10 to 20 seconds until it started to
oscillate wildly. Schweitzer three seater was a
lot easier even to me, but Rotorway Exec is a real
nightmare - like sitting on the hard boiled egg -
max 3 seconds and upsidedown it went. EC-135 is
lovely but it=B4s pure and full anhuman computer
stabilized.
Marke sends you warm wishes - me too!
See you...

Thanks Paul!
I felt it was almost like reading Reader=C2=B4s Digests...but not so
boring and this time even happily completely free (normally here 750
euros /hour = 1014 US $ /hour). Raimo=C2=B4s hands were shaking but
fortunately he was sitting on the back seat with kids. Look how fun they
had!

| Subject: | Changing capacitance probes to float sensors. |
The bendable capacitance probes in my aircraft are fitted to the area in the flat
space between the headrests.
The are bent to avoid the tunnel.
I find the are not accurate enough and wish to change to float sensors.
Has anyone fitted float sensors that only go as deep as the tunnel?
Do the Float sensors use the same bolt spacing as the capacitance probes?
Any one with experience of changing system?

I have excessive mag drop on one magneto and am not sure where to look for
the problem. Would anyone have any guidelines for this ? I have someone's c
ourse notes which state that: if you pull the choke while running on the ba
d mag=2C and if there is any change in rpm=2C then it is most likely a carb
problem. If there is no change then it is an ignition problem. I get an in
crease in rpm.The engine ran fine 12 months ago. Since then I changed and r
e-arranged all fuel lines. How would I identify the faulty carburetor ? And
then what do I look for ?Any hints greatly appreciated.Karl

Hi! Karl, it sound stupidly simple but I recently twice had a plug lead fall
off ? I have now fitted plastic cable ties as vertical restrainers.

Hi,
Have you checked that the correct leads are on each spark plug.
This may seem a bit obvious but worth checking. A while back we accidentally
swapped the top plugs on cylinders 1 and 3 and ended up with a 400 rpm mag
drop.
It may be as simple as that.
Good luck
Carl

Moin Raimo!
I'm sure that the answer to your question, what the minimum safe altitude to cross
the Alps is, should be given from someone, who has done that already (e.g.
Frans Feldmann) :-) If you go straight over the Mt Blanc Massive (there is normally
no need to do that), your plane should be capable for well over 17.000
ft. When you want to travel to Italy, you could choose the Brenner route and 7.000
ft would be sufficient. Care must be taken concerning the weather all the
time when flying in the Alps (more than normal) because you have less options
and it can change rapidly. So far my theoretical knowledge.
Regarding performance at altitude I went up to FL 120 with ease on my way back
from AERO fare in Friedrichshafen to my homebase EDLE. The aircraft (and engine)
were quite happy up there.
The MHC, yes, definetely something I would like to become a member of. I can bring
my wife as company :-). Let's talk about that on a meeting at Siljan Airpark
with a beer.... what was it - taxiway 9 Y?
Hope to see you and Marke at Texel next year (the latest)!
Roland
