      Right Dave!
      
      I learned that it was hard to explain in German how you can chop a tree
      down, and then chop it up.

      I was listening to a program the other night concerning the additives that are
      in the gasoline that we all use.   The guests were several "Big Oil Petroleum
      Experts" discussing the present day high gas prices and the recent 25 cent or
      more, price hike.  
      
      According to the experts, the Federal Government has recently ordered that the
      chemical MTBE (I think that's right) must  replaced with ethol alcohol.  It seems
      that MTBE is showing up in water supplies all over the country......Lakes,
      rivers, wells, drinking water, etc.
      
      The chemical was introduced a number of years ago, to reduce emissions and make
      the fuel cleaner burning.   It, according to the experts, was a big mistake.
      Another big government surprise.
      
      Because the producers of gasoline must make the conversion to replace MTBE with
      alcohol, the cost of gasoline has increased dramatically in the past few weeks.
      
      This alcohol replacement in gas can adversely effect the seals and rubber components
      in gasloine engines, which were not designed to operate with alcohol.
      
      I think I remember a discussion, awhile back, on the list concerning the engines
      in our aircraft and that some pilots were having trouble locating gas that did
      not have alcohol as an additive.   I think this is true particularly in the
      midwest, corn country.
      
      Now that alcohol is going to be a manditory additive in all gasoline, I wonder
      how that will effect our Rotax and other gasoline engines in our Kitfoxes?
      
      It was mentioned that a couple of South American countries are already using straight
      alcohol in their automobile, with modification.  Either Agentina or Brazil
      (can't remember which), has switched to alcohol, according to the experts.

      I was just getting ready to send the same email!  This is a big issue.
      
      The fiberglass tanks in our 'Foxes are quite sensitive to the ethanol if I
      recall.  What's everyone planning to do??  De-fuel after each flight?
      
      I'd sooner do that than go 100LL.

      Jim:
      You are right, it probably is an old file photo. At least ten yr.
      I obtained  the 91KF number several years ago.  The number had become
      avaible because the previous aircraft had been exported  out of the U.S.
      I think, but not sure the aircraft was a kit fox  and had belonged to Dan
      Denney.

      What I meant to say, Kurt, Rex and Dave, is that English uses words 
      from both Germanic and Latin origins. Like snake and serpent, or trip 
      and voyage. This makes a hell of a lot of words to learn for a student. 
      However, it is possible to learn a simple English, as my father was 
      taught when he came to England during WW II. An Englishman will shut 
      the gate. A foreigner will close the door, the latter being "poor man's 
      English."
      
      But "to seven zero" being understood as "two seven zero" is the fault 
      of the ATC controller. When a word can be misunderstood, it is 
      pronounced differently. E.g "nine" is "niner." In French, "un" (one) is 
      pronounced "unite." And that's probably  the reason, Kurt, your 
      Brazilian controller said "half a dozen" for "six."
      
      On another off-topic subject, I agree, Kurt, that the answer is 
      forty-two. Mind you, it could also be forty-three, but I know that the 
      answer is very simple. Let me give you an example:
      
      As he sat for his long westward journey, Columbus had three 
      alternatives:
      1) The earth could be flat and ends somewhere, then there is only the 
      big void.
      2) The earth could be flat and infinite, always new lands, new seas, to 
      the end of times.
      3) The earth could be volumetric. Given enough time, you'll eventually 
      come back to your point of departure.
      
      Now, consider the universe. Strangely enough most people envision only 
      one alternative. Why is that?
      
      On a more down to earth note, here is a small video of my flight today 
      (1.7 Mb):
      
      http://home.online.no/~michel/tmp/Fyresdal.mov
      
      Unfortunately it was a bit turbulent and the camera wasn't very steady. 
      Note the strange pattern in the ice.
      
      Cheers,
      Michel

      Hi everyone, I'm building a M4/1200 Speedster with a 912 engine (1992) The kit
      came with a P/N 69013 pre-sewn sound insulation kit for the firewall, I have seen
      a service letter re heat damage to areas near the exhaust pipes and muffler,
      it recommends an aluminum heat shield be riveted to sandwich the insulation
      between it and the firewall. Has anyone done this and does it work, or has anyone
      in fact used the sound insulation kit at all? Any comments welcome, Thanks,

      riveted to sandwich the insulation between it and the firewall. Has
      anyone done this and does it work, or has anyone in fact used the sound
      insulation kit at all? Any comments welcome, Thanks, Don

      Oh I see Michel,
      
      I too must have missed something between the two of
      us, but your reference to WW II cleared it up.  ;-)
      
      Continuing with this fun, off topic, language
      trivia....
      
      One of our New York papers did a check of how many
      different words they used in the publication of a
      daily paper and came up with only about 600.  A lot
      could be said about that!  However, reporters
      apparently are the ones least likely to say it.
      
      In the U.S., as you referred to when talking about how
      we write, (right?) we use a much more limited
      vocabulary then was common in the past.  (Except for
      technology words)  For example, I was just looking the
      word "rhythm" up to check my spelling and had to type
      "cadence" and cross check it because the computer had
      no idea of what I was spelling?  Nor did I apparently.
       So then....
      
      Sentence structure, rhythm and tone were better taught
      years ago in my opinion.  Discipline in school was
      important then and stressed as the "three R's".  Did
      Reading wRighting and aRithmatic as R's mess with our
      spelling?
      
      If you read "Lost Horizons" you get a much better use
      of the English language than you see in most books and
      every newspaper today.  It is a joy to read, even
      though it is a story of perfection only for those who
      lived at the top of the food chain in a class society.
       There is a mastery of language in that book.
      
      Of course, that is a British book and not U.S.  We
      remain "two countries divided by a common language",
      as Churchill said.
      
      "When in the course of human events...." signed back
      on July 4th, 1776, was written in only three days.  It
      showed that some people could write a declarative
      document of such importance, starting with one phrase
      of so few that said so much, and kept it all to one
      page.  Who could write so effectively today?
      
      Did you know that Daniel Webster learned 22 languages
      while writing the first U.S. English dictionary? 
      Before that, you spelled words according to how they
      sounded when you spoke them.  Your regional dialect
      was evident, such as when Daniel Boone wrote about his
      dawg!  (That is Kentucky talk for dog)
      
      Next?

      There are alcohol resistant slosh materials out now
      and I used one when doing my tanks a few years back. 
      Changed out my fuel hoses too.  But I still have a
      carb that will corrode from alcohol use, and probably
      a few other components like "O" rings to watch too. 
      Wonder about the aluminum fuel lines with alcohol...
      Corrosion?  I understand it is because of how much
      water alcohol can hold?
      
      It was the Brizialian government that tried to convert
      the country to alcohol expecting to lead the U.S. and
      sell products to us that way.  But we didn't change
      and the Brazilian government dropped the program
      stranding motorists with alcohol only cars to be
      converted back to dual use.  They are unhappy about it
      because they had to pay for it.
      
      But then FedEx started Zip mail and went bust with it
      years ago.  Now known as e-mail, it seems to work OK.
      
      Some just get ahead of their time...

      The aluminum heat shield works very well.  I got a roll aluminum from the lumber
      yard.  It is used for flashing in roofing jobs.  It works very well for shielding.
      If you have a gascolator in the engine compartment it should also have
      aluminum shielding to protect it from the radiated heat from the muffler.

      Hi everyone, I'm building a M4/1200 Speedster with a 912 engine (1992) The kit
      came with a P/N 69013 pre-sewn sound insulation kit for the firewall, I have seen
      a service letter re heat damage to areas near the exhaust pipes and muffler,
      it recommends an aluminum heat shield be riveted to sandwich the insulation

      My model 1 had sound insulation glued to the engine side of the firewall.
      An A&P commented regarding the hazard of oil or other flammable accumulation (also
      hard to clean) and suggested it would be better to mount on the rear(passenger)side.
      
      The 'sandwich' method would work but add the weight of the second aluminum skin.
      
      
      I plan to mount insulation on the back side of my firewall.

      Richard, I have heard the same thing concerning oil accumulation and then becoming
      a fire hazard if the blanket is mounted on the engine side. Has anyone here
      mounted it to the inside? Is there enough room without interfering with the
      rudder/brake pedals?
