Robert, Robert....er...Grey Baron!!! I am not a lawyer, and you used a lawyer
word to describe something for the purpose of clarification!!! And after your
clarification, I am still just as dumb about this very important subject as
before I read your clarification!! Very irksome, indeed.....and that is another
alienation tool that has separated the lawyer from society....they speak a
different language, just as engineers and other professionals.
But Mark didn't resort to legalese in his analogy of why the tort system is
as it is today...and we all understood it because he used .....words...not
legalese. It even worked 2003 years ago when Jesus started his religion, by
communicating clearly through the implementation of the parable....or...as we say
today, the analogy.
But I agree with you, the OJ thing did much to discredit the entire
jurisprudence system by letting a murderer, and one of the worst kind...Jealousy
driven, go free.

The bracket you are asking about may be for the choke. As far as the door
latches, I cut a 1/2" hole in the lexan on the angled tubing about 6 or 7 "
from the bottom door tubing. If I have confused you, let me know and I will

Thanks for the info on camping gear. You're a wealth of knowledge. I just
looked at the pictures of your Alaska trip and got butterflies in my stomach

Gentlemen:
But, I confess, I become exasperated with simple minded discussions of the
very complex legal/economic issues surrounding aviation, especially when they
suggest that lawyers ought to be shot
No, just field dressed.
So if you learned your morality from Hallmark
greeting cards and your economics from Time Magazine and got your
understanding of the law from USA Today
Condescending??
Then somebody noticed that the poorhouses were filling up with the
widows and orphans of the dead sailors and miners, and there were lots of mutilated
people walking around with no job.
Gosh, you say that like it's bad.
I concluded that the grieving widow had a thing or two to say to Randy Schlitter.
Did she ever get a dime from him? Nope. Did she try? Nope. And that strikes
me as a shame.
Missed opportunity???
So how do smart guys like us fix this situation?
Looser pays!

I'm with you Dave. Looser pays. I don't just mean the client. Lawyers get
rich off of their fee. If a lawyer files a frivolous suit and looses, the
lawyer should be responsible for all fees on both sides. This would stop a
lot of this bull. I may be wrong but I think this is the way it is in
England.

Too bad about the Hirth. I believe it to be a good engine.
The weldment at the top center of the cage is either the choke control or
the flaps.
The door latches ( if you are using Kolb doors) is an AN3 bolt with a
plate welded to the head like a wing nut. A hole is drilled through the
lexan and bottom tube of the aluminum door frame. A piece of aluminum is
placed on the inside of the door frame on this bolt and locked on with 2
lock nuts. When the bolt is rotated this plate swings down to the inside of
the steel cockpit frame tube and effectively locking it in position.

Terry,
The combination of fairings on the aileron torque tubes and the push/pull tube
helped to quiet the air passing through the propeller. It is hard to determine
what they have done to the cruise speed. But usually quieter means less drag
and therefore it should be a little faster.
The descriptions of how the these fairings were made can be found on:
http://www.thirdshift.com/jack/firefly/firefly95.html
and
http://www.thirdshift.com/jack/firefly/firefly96.html
I am still working on how to form fairings for the trailing edges of the ailerons,
elevators, and the rudder. It is going to take about 24 feet of fairing.
Cutting them out or 3/4 inch thick foam and gluing them on, as I have in the
past, is too difficult. I am trying to cut and form them in 15 inch long strips.
So far I have been able to cut the external shape, but I have been having
trouble cutting the 5/16 diameter groove on the front of the fairing. I purchased
a Dremel tool and today I hope to make a holder for it with a fence so that
I can form smooth uniform depth grooves on foam strips that are 15 inches
long. If I can do this, then I can set the table on my scroll saw at an angle,
and using a fence, I can cut them to the final external shape. When I get it
figured out, I will take some photos and put them up so you can see them. So
far it seems pretty simple as to how to make them. The problem has been getting
ready to make them.
For these fairings, the HP and drag reduction calculations predict at:
mphi HP reduction #'s Drag reduction
50 0.58 4.42
55 0.78 5.35
60 1.01 6.38
After this I hope to smooth out the under side of the center section from the soft
gap seal back to and under the engine, and on back to the aileron torque tube
pivot points. This is a region of high velocity air passing through a very
dragy region. I have been putting it off because it is the most difficult.
Then I am going to fair in the horizontal stabilizers to the tail boom tube.
All of these fairings do not violate Part 103 regulations. I estimate all fairings
in total will add another two pounds to the FireFly, and it may fly a little
faster, and better yet, fly further on five gallons of gas. If none of
those things were to happen, it would still be worth it just to reduce the noise
level alone.

One word "Ethics"
When I was growing up the worst thing you could call a lawyer was a
ambulance chaser. Now they get on the TV and advertise they are more than
that and are proud of it.
Most likely the biggest problem is there are too many of them. You can
understand why when you see the money some of them make. It draws the greedy
into the business.
I read a article a few years ago about the number of lawyers per capita
between the US and Japan. The article stated that lawyers are a unproductive
drain on the economy. Japan has one tenth of the lawyers per capita that we
do and regardless of any other factors their economy more efficient because
of it.

So?
The lawyers who take these cases on will do it on there own risk or not
do it if they dont have a case. The whole point is they now face a
risk if they are wrong. They should.

Terry,
I have been thinking about this some more. I have not been able to come up with
any speed improvement in the FireFly. Part of the reason is that I keep changing
other things that influence speed too. But if one goes to the Maximum Airspeed
Graph in AC 103-7, Appendix 1, you can get an idea of what to expect.
For my FireFly the calculated overall drag factor is 12.14. If one goes into the
chart at 39 hp up to the 12.14 line (must interpolate) they intersect at the
55 knot line. By adding fairings to the struts, aileron torque tubes and flairs,
aileron push/pull tubes, and the rear of the fuselage, calculations indicate
that at 60 mph 4.6 hp will be saved. But if one still wants to use up this
hp then one can add it to the 39 and move over to the right on the chart to
43.6 hp. Then move up the chart to the 12.14 line and find out what the design
maximum speed will be. In this case the projected FireFly top speed will be
57.25 kt, or 2.7 mph increase in top speed.
By adding fairings to the 5/16 OD trailing edges will save another hp. This will
boost the projected top speed up to 52.75 kt, or a 3.2 mph increase in top
speed.
One must remember, these are just numbers based on design criteria. Everyone knows
the FireFly in the legal ultralight vehicle configuration will fly faster
than 63 mph. So why bother to fair it in when you do not have to? First of
all, it just flys better in that it is less twitchy, and it is quieter. This
translates into less pilot energy required to fly the FireFly on cross countries,
and it improves endurance of both the pilot and the machine.

Good points Topher. I read somewhere that the Trial Lawyers Association is

Thus, it's unlikely we will se tort reform anytime soon.

some of you US drivers who have converted to fire star gear have the old

but I just finished my US and want to fly. It has six hours on it since rebuild.
There are pictures on photoshare of the completed fuslage if you care to look.

Thanks Larry,
Some come out as good pictures, others do not. In fact, out
of 20 or 30 rolls of film, there my only be a half dozen
that one would say is a good picture.
However, since I am not a professional, I am not all that
concerned about grades. My primary purpose of these
pictures is a personal record of where I have been and what
I have experienced.
This has been said before and I will repeat it again. No
matter how hard I try to bring back the sights and feelings
I have on these special flights, the pictures only scratch
the surface. Some of the pictures I think will really be
great and give one the "I was there" feeling, are really
flops in the end. :-)
Thanks again,

Ok folks, one last comment from me on the subject, and
then I am going to think about real nice stuff. Like
flying the M3X in ravins looking for deer and buried
treasure. For some reason lawyers and the Legal
Business does not conjure up nice stuff in my mind's
eye. Being reminded of OJ and then the 40 mil
settlement by Ronald Macdonald, aint wonderful
thinking (unless you are a lawyer).
Besides all the other things that have gone out of
whack with our Justice System. Are the folks who we
get as judges. Judges *should / must* dismiss
frivolous litigation. If someone thinks it should not
have been dismissed let him/her appeal. Enough
unwarranted dismissals and the judge gets in trouble.
Our judges don't judge anymore, they are more like
Masters of Ceremony content on pulling in 70K a year
till they die. I consider the Legal Racket nothing
more than the Business of Misery. Who more than
lawyers as a group is interested in conflict and
dissonance among people, and businesses in our
country. As a group I think none else. When ones bread
and butter is conflict then that one will do as much
as he can to cultivate his business. Yes they will
point out that for every case there is a citizen
claiming a wrong. However a simple cursory study of
claims brought by Lawyers will show that most tort
cases involves an insurance pay-out of a sort, or a
rich target. In other words almost no claims are
brought when the remuneration for the lawyer is from
the litigant's pocket. The inescapable conclusion is
that a lawyer will not take a case for just Justice,
but will take a case for near certain profit. If
justice is accidentally involved then so much the
better from the P.R. angle.
Again in my opinion it is a lack of good effective
judging that allows this very ruinous circus to keep
playing. We must hold the judges responsible. They
need to stop being lawyers. They are the gate keepers,
who are almost never on duty when it counts.

Hi Dave/All:
Thought I ought to add a few comments to Brother Dave's to
keep things lined up.
> Mostly LL Bean Stuff But Campmoor should do
I, personally, have never bought anything from LL Bean. I
have perused their catalogs and web site a few times.
Results were their products were over priced for the same
name brand products I can purchase from Campmor. Seems more
for a name than a product. Campmor sells solid,
serviceable, name brand gear.
> 1. Goose Down sleeping Bag Stows to size of a loaf of

Down is one of nature's best insulators. I used down bags
for years in the Army. The one draw back to down is
moisture. When down gets wet, it loses most of its
insulating capacity. I use a Wiggy's bag. These are
manufactured out in Colorado. The major advantage of the
Wiggy's bag is the insulation and its ability to get you
warm, even when it is wet. Take a look at Wiggy's gear:
http://www.wiggys.com/about.cfm
Wiggy uses Lamilite for insulation. Neat thing about it is
a lifetime warranty if you toss it in the washing machine
and drier when it gets dirty.
> 2 . Therma rest
Amen Brother on the Thermarest. Don't leave home without it.
> 3. Whisper Lite stove ( I have one of these for sale )
I use an MSR pack stove. Much smaller and lighter than the
Whisper Lite. Borrowed Bill Griffin's for the 1994 Alaska
flight, along with his Thermarest. The 41 days I spent on
that flight convinced me of how important these two items were.

Dave, you need to explain the above for this old coot. I
haven't had the requirement for one of these on a cross

Take care,

Friend Geo.,
In response to your mild complaint re: use of so-called legal term, my
excuse is that the term "jury nullification" has appeared so many times in
the public press that I presumed it was easily understood. It became
notorious during/after oj's so-called trial, and has been used frequently in
local papers of record lately.
Of course I admit that Mark S., Esq. presented his information sans most
so-called legalese. My only training in law dates from a1948 EE course at
Purdue roughly entitled Law and Ethics for Engineers (which I passed!) and
none since. I have served as juror on two federal cases involving alleged
diminution of civil rights, one as foreman.
Since we are now so far afield from Kolb/ULs, I'll go on a bit. The case
above (in which i was foreman) involved a Black (this was prior to the
invention of African-American) mother and her two sons who were detained
outside of store, forcibly returned to store by store guard, frisked, and
found to be concealing store goods without sales receipts. They alleged that
their civil rights were taken away since they were outside the jurisdiction
of the store and weren't searched until taken back into the store, where
they alleged that the goods were planted on them!
In any story, there is a back story: the Light-fingered Trio had pulled a
very similar stunt a couple of years prior, same store! And won a few
thousand.
After two Long Days, we went into deliberation. We were: nine Heinz 57s and
three Blacks. The most vociferous of the jurors was a small Black fellow who
had to get up at 5 AM to drive the 70-odd miles through commuter traffic in
a 20-year old car--this being a federal case which drew prospective jurors
from a wide area. He immediately, in the first minutes, said the Trio was
guilty, and "that they had gone to the trough once too many." The other two
Blacks plus a few H57'rs voted for the Trio, saying that the store guards
were always watching Blacks.
To use a non-legal term, Trio lost.

For many years I have used an epoxy called PC7. It's very tough,
strong, fuel proof
(recommend only on ground-bound fuel systems tho). You have to be patient,
it's a slow cure stuff. I believe it was reformulated slightly a few
years back when
asbestos became unsafe but appears to still do as well. It's not easily
available
and I usually forget where I got it last time. Always some on my bench.

Hmmm. Interesting reasoning. If you're right, then:
Doctors -must- be interested in promoting illness. I guess all those
medications they're giving me must be what's making me sick.
Plumbers -must- be interested in creating leaks and backed up toilets. I
would imagine they must be sneaking into the sewers and planting tree roots
and stuff when no one is looking.
Firefighters -must- be arsonists on their off time.
Police officers are -undoubtedly- giving clandestine classes to the
criminals in "How to Be a Crook".
Mechanics -must- be out sabotaging cars when no one is looking.
In fact, by the reasoning above, ANYONE who fixes ANYTHING must be doing all
sorts of evil, nasty things to promote their business.
Ask yourself these questions:
Give the -total- number of actions performed by lawyers on behalf of their
clients, how many are good and how many are bad? What's the percentage of
good v. evil? And is it as good as, say, the number of flawed food orders
that your favorite fast food restaurant produces?
Given that any system designed and used by humans admits the possibility of
error and abuse, what would you replace our legal system with that would
work better?
Armchair quarterbacks and backseat drivers, unite! (Then go away.)
And now, back to your regularly scheduled lurking...

This is yet another good time to paraphrase Winston Churchill:

Richard,
It looks good. The problem is the camshaft located on the bottom of the engine.
This would make the thrust line much higher than it is with the Victor 1+.
The camshaft drive is located on the same end of the engine as the propeller
flange, so the gear box cannot be rotated down to help the thrust line problem.
If you see something else in the future that you believe would be suitable for
a FireFly, please let me know.
Thanks,

Listers,
Like Paul said, I did indeed complete my first solo flight Friday morning
and the weather couldn't have been better as Kip noted. I'm sure most of you
know exactly how it feels the first time you're up there all alone. I'm not
sure words can express my feelings but you can bet I'm more proud of my 0.8
hours of PIC time in a C-172 than I am with the 2000 hours I've logged as a
navigator in the KC-135 and the T-43. I can't wait to get my FS in the air
sometime next spring. Thanks for all the moral and technecial support I get
from the list.

Jack, Gang..
Today, I ran a modified Honda 670cc V-twin aircooled engine (GX670K1QA) on a
test stand with a 60 "ivo 3 blade.
Reduction unit of 2.2/1 on it and a CV36 mikuni....Jetting still a tad rich.
I am I the process of a progressive test schedule of RPM and temperature
stage monitering.
that final run today was 30 minutes at 4400 rpms. Tenperature stopped
climbing at 270 F at 15 minutes, and stayed
The Ivo is set exactly like it was when on my FireFly with a 2.5/1 belt
reduction.
the firefly would run 60 mph at 5000 rpms at this pitch.
Prop Hub rpms = 2000
I have not weighed this set up. But shipping weight on a new GX620 is 90
lbs...this includes electric starter...operation panel.
List price is 1200 bucks....street price is less everywhere.
Testing is far from complete...Just getting started. But after today, I am
sure its gonna be a honey! Wished I had a N-3 pup today to bolt it on and
FLY!
