There were lots in the 2000s but they have largely disappeared. The basic idea is that someone picks a day with good weather prospects and picks a destination with a restaurant and a free landing token in one of the aviation mags and then posts his proposal. Historically anywhere between 3 and 10 planes would turn up. It was a way of meeting up with your mates, having a purpose in your flying and being encouraged to visit new places. I feel the format is well due for a revival. Whether tomorrow's weather is up to justifying the choice of the day for a relaunch remains to be seen. What had looked like being wall to wall sunshine now seems to offer fairly frequent snow showers over the South West and it is likely that I shall later cancel my proposal for tomorrow.

In these circumstances I feel I have to withdraw my suggestion for the DOTH. Regards, David Joyce, GXSDJ ________________________________ Message 6 _____________________________________ Time: 10:37:06 AM PST US Subject: Europa-List: Re: GS tailwheel rudder drive mod question. From: "Kelvin Weston" Hi Pete If you put a straight edge on the tip and measure along the inside of the leading edge (next to the hinges), my rudder measures 48 inches from the straight edge to the centre of the pushrod bracket. Similarly, if you put the bottom of the rudder on the floor and measure up the inside of the leading edge from the floor to the centre of the bracket it is 6 inches. However, the bracket position is determined by the lower hinge position on the rudder. If you have that in the right place as shown in Chapter 2 of the Build Manual, you should be ok. Hope this helps. -------- Regards Kelv Weston Kit 497 kelv@kdweston.biz Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=487355#487355 ________________________________ Message 7 _____________________________________ Time: 03:12:20 PM PST US Subject: Europa-List: Re: DOTH Dunkeswell From: "BobD" David, that's a great idea and well worth resurrecting. It's a shame tomorrow's event has been cancelled due to weather, but I hope to partake in the future. -------- Bob Dawson Europa XS TG || 912 ULS || G-NHRJ || Dynon Skyview || PilotAware || SmartAss3 Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=487357#487357 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message europa-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Europa-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/europa-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/europa-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
