John, your suggestion is well taken. However, we have of nearly 500
people on this list, many who are on dialup modems, and 1+ meg files
are definitely large files, especially when Matt Dralle specified to
keep the files to less than 200kb, quote:
"2) SCALE YOUR PICTURES DOWN!!! I don't want to see huge 3000 x 2000
pictures getting posted that are 3 or 4MB each. This is just
unacceptable. Use a program such as Photoshop to scale the picture
down to something on the order of 800 x 600 and try to keep the
file size to less-than 200KB, preferably much less."
Not only are the large files in violation of the spirit of the
attachments, we have a "captive audience" here and forcing the members
to have to download large files that they may neither want, nor have the
capability to reasonably view is not very fair to those with slow modem
capability. Also, forcing them to change email clients isn't fair
either. Matt is currently working on some sort of system where the
sender just provides a link to the photo and those who wish to view it
simply click the link.
For the time being, a good alternative tool is using the microsoft Image
Resizer. It is very simple and will make these files more friendly to
everyone.

I feel like the Salmon.... always going against the stream. I'm using
MS
Outlook so I can download only the headers for the emails than I decide
exactly what I want to download and what will be deleted directly off
the
server. No viruses for a few years now.
I do tend to use the web mails though the ISP mailbox is so small and my
E-Mail client (Outlook) also checks the web mails.
I am using Norton AV and yes I sure have seen it load the computer I'll
get
a copy of AVG and give it a try.
As for slow I think my dialup ISP has three monkeys typing at a fearsome
rate of knots ;^)

Certainly good advice. However let me suggest that one should just
set the camera for a resolution suitable for a computer or TV
monitor. 640x480 is totally adequate and would not give a better
picture with higher resolution. In other word the viewer cannot tell
the difference on a monitor. These files usually result in 60k to 70k
size and the load and send quickly.
For the dialup folks you probably have a setting on your email tool
that rejects messages over a certain size.

I have a question! Do you have to remove the prop to remove the cowl to inspect
or work on your engine? That's what it looks like, and I would find that very
inconvienent. Other wise, it looks like a neat way to fair the radiator and
make it more efficient.

Mike,
I can do all pre-flight inspections, Pull carbs (a little difficult),
replace spark plugs, change fuel pump and a few other things through the
top cowl access. Anything more than that and yes, I have to pull the
prop and cowl. That only takes about 10-15 minutes tops. I think one
advantage of having a one piece cowl is, it makes all the air pass over
the engine. There is no escape of air around the nose bowl to cowl gap.
Also made the cowl much stronger by epoxing it all together.
Sounds good anyway
Don Smythe

I flew to a fly-in at West Point, Va today sponsored by the American
Cancer Society. Saw a guy putting a business card in my plane door and
it turned out to be a List Member (Ronal Smith). He recognized my name
on the planes data plate. What a small world.
It was right around 90 degrees today and on departure, I noticed my
temps creeping slowly up toward 180. I stepped climbed a little
starting at about 400' and everything settled out. I thought I had this
problem fixed but guess I'll have to go back to the drawing board.
Cruise was an easy 165 or less.

Dear Lowell and Kay,
We can not tell you how much we enjoyed the fly-in last Saturday. This being
our
fourth year it has just gotten better and better. It so great seeing all the
friends we 've
made over the years. Yours and the Desert Fox fly-in are the only ones that
we
absolutly attend every year, all others we make if we can. As always you and
Kay
put on one heck of a show, great food and great hospitality. I know these
fly-in are
very hard for you guys to do, but I hope you can still put them on for a few
more years.
By the way some one mentioned the Bonanza, he needs to be counted too. His
name is Tony
and he owns a nice model IV, but KCMA was IFR and he used the Bonanza to get
in.
Thanks again,
Jud and Clarissa

>> Wayne and Rick and the Stearman guy, Craig who always run the grill,
>> Terry Kobylczak, a Model IV builder, who always brings the buns, and
>> especially all the great people who came, are the ones that really make
>> the whole thing what it has become.
>>
>> My greatest disappointment is when I scan the cards that people fill out
>> and I find some names I would like to have spent more time with - Chris
>> Engler, who is from Chenango Forks, NY and building a Series 7, Scott and
>> Michelle Denniston, CO who dropped their trailer off at a neary trucktop
>> and came in the sleeper tracter that they call home while on the road,
>> and lots of others who came.
>>
>> The registration cards suggest a count of about 77 , add the bicyclist we
>> cornered and forced a hamburger on and assorted neighbors, we had about
>> 90 for lunch. I tried three times to walk the street and count the
>> airplanes and as usual, found numerous people along the way that I wanted
>> to talk to and promptly lost count. I also tried three times to
>> photograph all the airplanes and I think that is going to provide for the
>> final airplane count. I must say here that a group of Rans folks crashed
>> the party ;-) and they will be in the final aircraft tally, but
>> definitely not in the important one. It was good for John's potential
>> customers to see them side-by-side. Sorry to the Rans folks that might be
>> lurking or participating on the list, but I am quite proud of this
>> prejudice - again :-).
>>
>> I am thinking of putting all the photos I can round up on a CD and sent
>> them out to those interested and can do that for a couple of dollars I
>> think - let me know if interested - lcfitt@sbcglobal.net .
>>
>> The Idaho and Nevada contingents went out flying this morning, intending

>> runways, one water and one grass. I started with them and after three
>> stops at various tempting spots and lots of talk, I was completely out of
>> gas - adrenaline - and thought it prudent for me to get home and just sit
>> quietly for a few hours. The others are near home now, as I write, and
>> we have been invited to dinner at a neighbor and fellow Model IV pilot,
>> Wray Flemming's home, so enough for now.
>>
>> Thanks again.

A bit off topic
I was thinking of going the satellite route but there is still a dialup
for
the uplink. Any one used satellite and with what results?

Best to get rid of Norton (Turn it off)...It slows my computer down
using a
cable modem.

Hey, an idea for you dial up guys is to get a Hotmail or Yahoo address
just
for list/s, then you just get the mail and your choice if you want to
d/load
attachments. Keeps you safe from dirty viral ones too. Don, you're att

I have not used satellite, but I have a Verizon aircard in my laptop for
when I am on the road all day. It is almost as fast as my cable connection
at home. Most of the other wireless phone systems have something similar. If
you can get a cell signal you can be online and the transfer rate is far
better than dialup.
