    Here's the good news some of you have been waiting for. I'm forwarding Electroair's announcement of the availability and pricing of their Direct Fire ignition system, using either one (eliminating one Jabiru distributor and coil) or two (eliminating both Jabiru distributors and coils) magnetic sensors and a trigger wheel.

    I'v been doing lots of flying but not in my Kitfox. I flew to Arizona Wed. the 6th to work for the Forest Service on a fire near Fort Huachuca. We initial attacked several new fires while I was there. I took this picture on one fire at 8400 feet elevation in the Huachuca Mountains. The burn pattern in a circle indicates the fire has burned with very little wind affecting the spread direction. It is an interesting picture, to me anyhow being that I have fought wild land fires for the past 42 years. I was in a bell 407 helicopter. -------- Tom Jones Classic IV 503 Rotax, 72 inch Two blade Warp Ellensburg, WA Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=244051#244051 Attachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/perfect_circle_sm_189.jpg

    Just happened to stumble on this website doing some research on the 11A. Think its neat to find out the history on my plane and who has owned it in the past. Wonder if anyone happens to have any pictures of the inside of N1615B as I'm trying to get all the parts to it with it. Purchase approx 3 luscombe 11A with enough parts to do 2. N1615B basicly needs a new painted job as its been stripped down to the metal and put back together. derek Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=244092#244092

The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of his country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman." -- Thomas Paine A liberal wakes up to liberalism: "President Obama's team, unlike Bush's team, demonstrates a thinness of skin that shocks me. When I somewhat obviously and empirically judged that the populist Obama administration is exacerbating the crisis with its budget and policies, as evidenced by the incredible decline in the [stock market] averages since his inauguration, I was met immediately with condescension and ridicule rather than constructive debate or even just benign dismissal. I said to myself, 'What the heck? Are they really that blind to the Great Wealth Destruction they are causing with their decisions to demonize the bankers, raise taxes for the wealthy, advocate draconian cap-and-trade policies and upend the health care system? Do they really believe that only the rich own stocks? What do they think we have our retirement accounts in, CD's?
