Hey Captian Ron,
It's nice to see the plane together...
Now , when you take it all apart, you need a system of marking all the hinges
( LW1 & LA1 ) and so on....and draw the plane on a piece of paper and make notes
to double check their positions.... because it's probly going to be apart
awhile, There was ALOT more to that "fabric stage" than I thought.... but if you
have alot of room it might go alittle faster...
Well, I hope it goes fast for you because your engine warranty will be ticking
away...
Gotta Fly...
Mike

Well i made good progress today as well. Both wings for the first time were
mated to the cage. the Struts were drilled and mated, I will have two sets
of struts one with diehdral and one pair without. Just curious to see if
there is any difference. It was a great feeling to see it with the wings
opened and looking like a flying machine. Tomorrow I will install the
control horns for the flaprons, and fabricate the cables for the rudder and
elevators. I can actually see the end in sight. I guess I will write a check
for a motor this coming week, and start thinking about covering and final
paint.
A while ago someone mentioned that there is a site where I can try and get a
unique registration number. Does anyone still know the URL for that. Sure
would like to try and get a number reserved.
I don't know if I'll be done in time for that fly up in Nevada or wherever
it is, but it will be close.

Big Lar,
The ink wasn't dry on the logbook and I was off on my first legal flight. Put
in 3.5 hrs before thunderstorms grounded me. My DAR gave me a pretty generous
flight test area and I'm out there burning gas and poking holes in the wild
blue- I'm clicking off the clock at a steady pace as well. I hope to polish
off the 10 hours by Monday evening- got only 6.5 hours to go.
The inspection process, paperwork preparation and log book signing was fairly
uneventful. I went over it all several times in the preceding days to make
sure everything was done before the big event. John Williamson was a BIG help
in getting me ready. He is a very knowledgeable and meticulous person and was
kind enough to lend a hand. I appreciated all is help so much that I made him
do the double cross lock wiring on the control cable turnbuckles- I'm such an
SOB! The DAR did take notice of the fine work and I begrudgingly give credit
to John...
A word of advice to all who are planning to register as experimental- file your
application for registration early, send it certified mail with proof of
delivery and call them at least once a week to check on your progress through
the system. I was lost in the system- excuse me, I was "misplaced." The FAA
can not "loose a file, only 'misplace' it." I spent a good bit of time dealing
with the bureaucracy and only with persistence and some well placed calls by me
and my DAR did I get "found" and registration issued. The only reason it was
resolved in the time frame it was is because I had proof that they did indeed
receive my package. That was a well spent $5 for certified mail. Everyone
I
talked to was very pleasant, but it is a bureaucratic monster that must be dealt
with. By the way, make copies of everything you send them just in case you
have to resend if you can't be located.
In retrospect, putting the registration package together- I got conflicting
direction from the FAA and their directives- and "being lost in the system" was
the only unpleasant/aggravating part of the process. The rest of the process
was fairly straight forward with few unexpected surprises.
If anybody wants more detail, feel free to call.
Want to register my powered parachute next. My DAR groaned and denied having
ever met me...
Gotta' go fly- daylight and smooth air's awastin'...
Ken

Whew!...I just got home from Sun,N, Fun and lemme tell you all, that Americana
FireFly was the prettiest bird in the entire theatre men....none even a close
second! And Hauck sure made it look good in the air too! It surely will be
judged grand champion! About all I can say is it seemed a shame not to see
an American made engine on it because with that paint job..it sure got my patriotic
blood pumping! (I wonder how Pauls EVO harley would do on that little bird!)
And speaking of American Made engines...I Found that 2SI seminar and listened in....WOW.....them
guys are making some real progress. I saw a 690 Fuel injected,
computer controlled (ECU)....Just like whats in a new car...every engine parameter
monitered for best power..effieciency...Durability...If I understood correctly
they have a Auto oriented supplier cooking up a complete engine control
system that bolts on to their block that will easily make them as durable and
effiecient as a new car engine. Just as in our cars, it will be altitude compensating,
Load sensitive, Mixture controlled,... all of this in simple computer
controlled fuel injection/Ignition controlled gizmo that this automotive industry
company has already been making for general motors and others. Apparantly
the only changes are in software to provide a fuel mapping profile and whatever
other stuff the brainbox needs to know for a 2 stroke application in an
aircraft. It made alot of sense to me anyhow, as I have seen these new ECU's on
engines in every other industry and I know how well they work. An OEM just tells
the vendor what performance parameters he needs, and they create the perfect
computer map for the fuel and ignition and stick it in the brainbox! Just
think how nice it willbe to get away from Bing carbs...fooling with jetting....
we NEED this men...our little engines are way behind the curve right now.
They also have a couple of Spark ignited, multifuel engines that they are selling
to the military that they are going to bring to the aircraft market...One is
a 4 cylinder opposed, liquid cooled job that is 150 hp on gas...but will burn
whatever you decide to fill er up with...from Jet-A to auto-Gas...to fuel oil!
The brainbox takes care of all the changes so on a cross country flight, the
Pilot does not need to do a thing to change fuels.....except find the filler
cap!........oh yea...weighed 125 lbs!
...AND...on an interesting related note....Bombardier is selling off the recreational
products division due to big losses....and that includes SkiDoo....and
Rotax!.....Rut Roh Scoob....likely means higher prices for rotax's ..if the new
owners even decide to even keep on building the stuff we need !
http://sg.biz.yahoo.com/030403/15/39rmd.html
I found this rumor to be true when I got home after I did a quick web search....Lots
of info out there on how this New CEO of Bombardier is cutting expenses
in an effort to boost up stock prices.
Who was just saying they gonna write a check for an engine next week?.....hmmm.....Good
luck with your choice.....I hate it....but with the current world feelings
towards Canada, and several European countries, I can see how their stock
prices are gonna go down, and they will be forced into cutting in areas that
effect our needs. These Talking heads on TV create most of the trouble I think..just
cause they like to stir things up...but there can be no doubt that they
are effective..about all ya see besides the war on TV is the movement by American
investors to divest themselves of these controversial countries assets and
foriegn stocks.
The Party on Thursday nite at the CGS booth was typical Chuckie....Paul Poberezny
stopped in to say a few words of Polish wisdom to get it started, and them
2 Polacks really had us laughing and choking on our bratwurst's!
Chuck Slusarcyzak has never really forgiven me for selling WeedHoppers back in
the early 80's and tried awful hard to Kill me (again) with his Muzzleloaders...I
barely escaped alive.....and as I retreated....poor ole Rahill was under some
intense fire from a well armed blonde........Im not sure he made it out!
I had to leave Friday due to business obligations....No big deal tho..cause after
watchin Hauck Flying that Americana FlreFly a couple a days....I couldnt wait
to get home and Finish Glueing down fabric!

Well Jerry, I am not suprised....mayor Daley has been wanting a Gambling
casino there for a long time, and considering the money that the casino
companies can direct his way for future elections.....Well....Money talks as
they say. It is a pretty good illustration to the fact that a politicans
motivation to cater to the big money is much stronger than any motivation he
might have to serve the public good.
In Chicago, it is pretty well understood that you buy votes with goverment
welfare, and , as in most huge metro areas...the number of goverment
jobs...welfare recipients...and goverment contract dependant employment can
provide a politician with plenty of votes to stay in power, no matter how
corrupt the administration is.
Promise to keep a goverment check in the mailbox every friday...and you will
get the vote!
Here is a bit of illinois trivia for us to ponder...
2000 Census data....
population of illinois........... .= 12,400,000
population of cook county .= 5,500,000
Pop of surrounding 5 counties .=3,000,000
Illinois has 102 counties....almost 70% of the population is in cook county
and the surrounding 5 counties.
Pitiful aint it.

Its not final final! but I think it will end up being the Hirth, I will make
up my mind as I am writing the check.
This has been probably the most researched decision in this whole project.
there are several engines that can do the job. It comes down to bang for the
buck. I pretty much decided that they are all equally reliable when properly
maintained and treated. The only thing that remained a constant was the
requirement for 100hp. I will post a message as soon as I enter a name in
the "To" section of the check.

I don't know yet if I made the right choice or not but my hinges are already
on permanent. I will work the fabric around them. I used a version of the X
hinges.
Knowing now what I do, I would have done a few things different. Well a
lesson learnt for the next time.

Sorry I didn't finish the math, 1 divided by 1.15 equals .869565217 :-)
So if you take that times mph you get kph.
If you multiply 1.15 times your kph you get mph.
It works out good when using 55kph = 63 mph as in the FAR Part 103 speed
limits so I guess I am close enough for government work. :-)

Yah, remember recently when I mentioned visiting the Revmaster factory in
Hesperia, CA, and seeing the new 3 liter engine ?? It looks like a dandy,
but I'm not sure about the company. Looked to me like they were kinda dying
on the vine. Maybe they're getting re-vitalized...............I hope so,
it's a terrific engine - even if it IS only a direct drive. A re-drive on
that thing would be something to see, now. Lar.

Thanks to all who responded. I looked everywhere, but where did I find the
information? The list of course. I am getting everything ready to go pick up
the Mark III from Oroville Ca on the 19th. Of course like all the rest of
you waiting is the hardest part. Patience has never been one of my better
features.
I am fixing a inflight refueling system that will cover my unfamilarity
with the 582 and its fuel consumption. I am figuring 5 gph, but with only 10
gal available and a leg of 117 nm I prefer a little insurance. I discussed
the idea some time ago on the list. I have ordered a facet fuel pump from AC
Spruce, and I intend to velcro it to the floor pan on the passenger side,
just under the seat, have a pick up tube to go to a five gal gas container,
with the other line going to the fuel tank on the plane. I have drilled and
tapped the cap to one of the stock tanks to accept a fuel shut off valve.
The pick up tube will also be tapped into the gas cap on the container.
Everything should be tight, no sloshing or dripping inside the plane. I
think I will get a halon extingusher as well. I may be impatient, but I try
to be careful as well.
thanks
Larry
