Folks,
I stumbled upon a piece of software that performs a filter and will
"bounce" email messages based upon criteria which you can control. You run
it and it down loads a list of your mail messages and provides at status as
normal, spam, or possible spam. If your getting much Spam, this is the
thing you want. It shareware type distribution with a request for a very
moderate registration fee of $20, well worth it. You can get it at the

Why do you need a trasponder? I fly under Charlotte's Class B airspace and
into towered airports all the time without a transponder. I checked with the
local FSDO and they said the electrical on a Mark III is too small to
require a trasnponder. Check the archives for more on this.

This was a mystery to me, so I spent a lot of research time figuring this
out. The FARs say: a transponder is required inside the Mode C veil for
CERTIFIED aircraft with an electric system.
Since our ultralights are not CERTIFIED, they don't have to meet the
requirement EVEN IF THEY HAVE A POWERFUL ELECTRICAL SYSTEM.
I'm still not 100% sure if this "loophole" applies to experimental
N-numbered aircraft, but I'm *pretty sure* it applies as well since
experimentals are not certified by the FAA.
So, you don't HAVE to have one to operate in the Mode C veil... however, if
you plan on going into Class D, C, or B airspace, you'd better have one.

I have been flying my Experimental (registered N numbered) MKIII without a
transponder from under a Mode C vail for 5 years. I have requested and
receive on a annual basis a waver to do so. I wrote a simple letter to the
control tower requesting the waver and indicated that my electrical system
would not safely handle the load of a transponder. No questions, augments,
or hassles, and its legal. Another option.

Rick --
An _EXCELLENT_ post! By making that request, you showed yourself to be
courteous, and like most people, the controllers responded favorably to
your courtesy. I find that most controllers will respond in a very
positive way to "please's" and "thank you's", probably even more so since
so few pilots bother with those courtesies.
I know of pilots flying Experimentals -- even ultralights -- who simply
contact the tower just prior to entering the airspace, state their
capabilities (or lack thereof), and request permission to proceed. In only
rare cases -- usually involving very heavy traffic conditions -- have they
ever been denied.

The key word whether you need a transponder or not to be legal is
"aircraft." If you have an Airworthiness Certificate and an Aircraft
Registration form, you are an "Aircraft" and must meet the requirements of
FAR 91.215. Unless you are operating under FAR Part 103 as a "Vehicle," you
are an "Aircraft". We are "Certified" by the FAA as "Experimental
Aircraft." There are sections that apply only to standard-category aircraft
and not to experiment aircraft.
When you talk to your local FAA they will most likely agree that a system
only designed to charge your battery does not force you to have a
transponder and Mode C. The requirement for the transponder and Mode C is
directly determined whether you have an "engine-driven electrical system" or
a battery charger.
Remember, Ultralights are vehicles and the rest of us are aircraft.
91.215 ATC transponder and altitude reporting equipment and use.
(a) All airspace: U.S.-registered civil aircraft. For operations not
conducted under part 121 or 135 of this chapter, ATC transponder equipment
installed must meet the performance and environmental requirements of any
class of TSO-C74b (Mode A) or any class of TSO-C74c (Mode A with altitude
reporting capability) as appropriate, or the appropriate class of TSO-C112
(Mode S).
(b) All airspace. Unless otherwise authorized or directed by ATC, no person
may operate an aircraft in the airspace described in paragraphs (b)(1)
through (b)(5) of this section, unless that aircraft is equipped with an
operable coded radar beacon transponder having either Mode 3/A 4096 code
capability, replying to Mode 3/A interrogations with the code specified by
ATC, or a Mode S capability, replying to Mode 3/A interrogations with the
code specified by ATC and intermode and Mode S interrogations in accordance
with the applicable provisions specified in TSO C-112, and that aircraft is
equipped with automatic pressure altitude reporting equipment having a Mode
C capability that automatically replies to Mode C interrogations by
transmitting pressure altitude information in 100-foot increments. This
requirement applies --
(1) All aircraft. In Class A, Class B, and Class C airspace areas;
(2) All aircraft. In all airspace within 30 nautical miles of an airport
listed in appendix D, section 1 of this part from the surface upward to
10,000 feet MSL;
(3) Notwithstanding paragraph (b)(2) of this section, any aircraft which was
not originally certificated with an engine-driven electrical system or which
has not subsequently been certified with such a system installed, balloon or
glider may conduct operations in the airspace within 30 nautical miles of an
airport listed in appendix D, section 1 of this part provided such
operations are conducted --
(i) Outside any Class A, Class B, or Class C airspace area; and
(ii) Below the altitude of the ceiling of a Class B or Class C airspace area
designated for an airport or 10,000 feet MSL, whichever is lower; and
(4) All aircraft in all airspace above the ceiling and within the lateral
boundaries of a Class B or Class C airspace area designated for an airport
upward to 10,000 feet MSL; and
(5) All aircraft except any aircraft which was not originally certificated
with an engine-driven electrical system or which has not subsequently been
certified with such a system installed, balloon, or glider -- --
(i) In all airspace of the 48 contiguous states and the District of Columbia
at and above 10,000 feet MSL, excluding the airspace at and below 2,500 feet
above the surface; and
(ii) In the airspace from the surface to 10,000 feet MSL within a
10-nautical-mile radius of any airport listed in appendix D, section 2 of
this part, excluding the airspace below 1,200 feet outside of the lateral
boundaries of the surface area of the airspace designated for that airport.
(c) Transponder-on operation. While in the airspace as specified in
paragraph (b) of this section or in all controlled airspace, each person
operating an aircraft equipped with an operable ATC transponder maintained
in accordance with 91.413 of this part shall operate the transponder,
including Mode C equipment if installed, and shall reply on the appropriate
code or as assigned by ATC.
(d) ATC authorized deviations. Requests for ATC authorized deviations must
be made to the ATC facility having jurisdiction over the concerned airspace
within the time periods specified as follows:
(1) For operation of an aircraft with an operating transponder but without
operating automatic pressure altitude reporting equipment having a Mode C
capability, the request may be made at any time.
(2) For operation of an aircraft with an inoperative transponder to the
airport of ultimate destination, including any intermediate stops, or to
proceed to a place where suitable repairs can be made or both, the request
may be made at any time.
(3) For operation of an aircraft that is not equipped with a transponder,
the request must be made at least one hour before the proposed operation.

Hi, I've put a few rows of duct tape at the" top" of the cooling fins , it helped
to hold some of the heat. I did it til the temp was a little hotter....
then I pulled some back off....it works.

Trailer Toters
Im in the final stages of building my Firefly trailer and was
hoping for some advice on level trailer heights. Maybe some warnings of what
I should look out for. It is enclosed and guestimated to weigh around
1500 lbs. I decided To go with a single torsion axle . It is almost a
replica of Duane da Planes. Mine is minus any windows. I was going to use 13"
wheels But I started thinking it might ride better on 15" tires. What is
the lowest trailer height I could use & not have to worry too much about
dragging the rear all the time? Opinions?

Good choice. The 13's would beat your plane to death- you'll have a lot less
"collateral damage" with the 15's. Use radial tires, too. It will track
better. Be sure to get the axle square with the frame so that it doesn't trail
off to the side. Also, if you weld the axle on the trailer, take care to not
overheat the rubber inside if it's a rubber cushioned axle. get it too hot and
the axles will "sag" and you'll loose all the vertical tire travel and it will
bottom out.
> What is the lowest trailer height I could use & not have to worry too much

What axle did you chose? A Dexter Torflex rubber cushioned axle? What angle
did you choose? How far from the rear end of the trailer did you place the
axle? What is the axle rated for? What's the ball height of the tow
vehicle? how long is the trailer?
I used to build custom trailers for Powered Parachutes and these are all
questions you must answer to properly choose and place the axles. With a long
trailer like these, you build the rear undercarriage with smooth surfaces and rub
plates so that it slides well when it does drag- and it is going to drag
sometimes.

Hi gang... i'am surprised you did not go with a tandem set up, i know it would
be more expensive but every time you go over a pot hole one wheel goes in the hole
and the other wheel stays on flat pavement while the first wheel is exiting the
hole... wow!!! you will never know you even went over a bump with that set up.
also
makes it easier to change a tire, just jack-up that tire and away you go and not
to
mess with lifting the whole trailer... also if you have a blow-out you can run
on
three tires all day long...just make sure you have the rears on the tandem....that
way the tail won't be wagging the dog... anyway i'am sure your set-up will work
fine
if you don't plan to trailer it long distance. just had to vent some of my trailer
expertise.
thanks,

Hello Gary, and all
I have the 3" snap vents on my Firestar which I installed last summer
and I do really like them, they are the one that are flush mounts, really
easy to install and really gave me all the air I needed, but not quite
enough on a hot summer day but better than nothing. maybe a pair would be
better. I just have one installed on the lower left of my lexan windshield.
I think if I would install another one on the other side it would help more.
Happy New Year everyone!!!!

Go with at least four 3" vents, plus a way to suck out the hot air. I had
four 3" vents last summer, and it was not enough. I will be modifying
things shortly, as last summer was intolerable at midday. You might want to
think about using reflective film on the top part of your windshield, or
some other way to reduce the "Enclosed Kolb Greenhouse Effect."

Good idea....................in a camper supply store I've seen a thin,
tinted plastic film that sticks to the window, kinda like those little oil

Peel it off, and re-stick it where you want it. Might be handy.
