I hope too.
I think that there are some changes inside Russia and may be it is posible
to fly without a navigator. But you have to be sure, as their behaviour is
always the same: No problems.......problems.
Matevz Lenarcic was about to fly across Russia last year. Final problem
was..... Canada.
You can contact him and ask him about the new russian regulations (
matevz@lenarcic.com).
He lives in Slovenia.

>I was told that Ski-Saver tape wasn't being marketed anymore.
After all that gap-sealing talk, I got myself a 3M 2" wide transparent tape. I
intend to put them in pair with 1" overlapping and stick them to the upper
side of the stab, and the lower side of the elevator.
Not that I need more elevator authority but just to find out how much it
influences the controls. I'll let you know how it works ... next week-end if
the weather is nice.
Cheers,
Michel

Kurt, I don't believe Lance supplies MP gauges and yes I think you'll do
better if you buy one because the numbers you get will then mean something
and it'll be easier to compare with what others are getting. Try ebay.
I've seen several go for around $50 or less.

Have you done the calibration on it? Mine is the 0-10 unit also, but my
full power climbs don't go more than 9.5 so it's not a problem. It's always
been accurate throughout the range. A simple call to the company might
yield some good insight.

I purchased one of the cheap non TSo ones from Spruce. Would love to have
the new digital with lights but hey need to finish this engine.
I did replace the fuel flow with a JPI and it is really nice, accurate and
gives a lot of information for the buck.
Yep, not much compares to the fox with a turbo. Love the faces when running
beta on landing. Even the really old farts that never get off the bench
come over and want to know how I put that turbine in :).

Rick,
I have the 3A TB, but I have had mixture issues.
But steady pressure
equals steady mixture.
The vacuum gage is working right. It is just a vacuum
gage! I need a boost gage or MP gage. Did you buy
your own or get it from NSI?
Another more minor issue. The FlowScan meter seems to
not be accurate in fuel consummed if you go above the
max reading of 10 gph FF.
On the good side, of the three I have flown, my KF
beats the Cub and Champ hands down.
Kurt S.

Michel,
Actually, the Alaska Airman's Assoc. is making the arrangements for this
flight. We have been instructed by the Assoc. that we
only need fill out and file the paperwork provided to us. Those without
passports need one. (not me) The visa application is for tourism visit.
I will in all likelihood have a "navigator" on board weather this is my
wife or some other person (need a mistress).
I still wait for my Russian AIP. I think it would have been better if I
didn't make the request using my State of Alaska e-mail as they might
has construed this as a formal "government" request.
I will drop your friend Matevz an e-mail for his take on the Russians,
but I doubt that he has been to Chukotka. This is the Russian far east.
Not many travelers venture there from the west. It used to be (or still
is) a Russian submarine base. (Provideniya Bay)
I have friends who have been there and they tell me it's quite the
experience, very different. I plan to take a few extra pairs of Levi's,
always good to have barter.
If any of you want to go on this trip it is scheduled for July 31-Aug 1
or Aug 7-8. We still haven't voted yet on the actual date. I have all
the flow sheets and applications, declarations etc. and can e-mail if
interested. The weather is normally warm and mild that time of year and
of course, daylight for 22 hours+. Salmon fishing is very good.

Ok,
I did some looking and went and ordered a VDO Boost
gauge. Thought I would stay with the same Lance motif
to make the change easier.
I was concerned when you guys talk about 44" etc, but
then I remembered that you wrote inches and not lbs.
Fourty four lbs would be some boost!
I ordered a 0-30 LB gauge from PepBoys for 37.09 after
tax. Here is a web page of the same thing.
<http://www.egauges.com/vdo_mult.asp?Type=Turbo_Boost&Series=Cockpit&Cart=>
Now why did I have to go and look that up? I wonder
if I shouldn't have ordered this one instead? Ha ha.
It is vacuum and boost. Just found it now. And it is
cheaper...

Kurt, You would be best served by using an aircraft manifold pressure gauge
which reads 10 to 50 inches. IMHO!
