I can open some WMV files and see their content. But in the two aforementionned movies, I hear the sound but see nothing, only a black screen. I guess I should have a newer version of the software. But newer versions run only on Mac OS X and I am still on Mac OS 9. And I don't like to be pushed to buy new software when the old one still works fine. ... well, we are getting off-topic here, but ... the computer industry sucks ... in my humble opinion! :-) Cheers, Michel ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 07:17:11 AM PST US From: Michel Verheughe Subject: Kitfox-List: [Off-topic] One Six Right --> Kitfox-List message posted by: Michel Verheughe Guys, I don't know if you have seen this: http://www.onesixright.com/video/aerials.html I don't know what's the story but ... wow, great filming! I loved the Dakota making a two-points landing and the swift rudder control after touch-down. Big bird, but still a taildragger and a technique similar to our Kitfoxes.

It's supposed to lower coolant temperature in your car by up to 20 degrees by allowing better heat transfer between the block/coolant. It says it can be used with any coolant, water, distilled, etc...Should I give this a try? Even if 180 degrees F on climbout isn't that bad, 165 is even better, right?
