Group,
I took my celebration flight yesterday. I had obligations on the 17th.
It is really nice, being able to fly in comfortable temperatures in the
winter. Besides that, the air was as smooth as I have ever flown in.
For those that can't currently fly because of snow or cold, consider
moving to Arizona. We have an almost unbelievable number of good flying
days here.

I also celebrated the 100th anniversary of flight on Wednesday. I was
really disappointed because it was just me and an autogryo flying. The
weather was awesome. I flew low and slow over acres and acres of farm
fields in the valley west of Phoenix (Buckeye) Finally the gas was almost
gone and the sun was going down and I made a great landing and thanked the
Wright brothers for their wonderful gift.
If you are still building, get with it. You are not getting any younger,
the open fields are disappearing and the sky is calling.

Why does the file mh78aoa12.bmp down load in the source code when I
click on it?
Can anybody see the .bmp picture?
The .jpg file is fine.

Dale,
I trailer my US tail first for years, I did not have as far to go as you do
but had the same problems.
I took a piece of 2" PVC and drilled 4 holes in it in a line. Glued four
pieces of 1" PVC into at 90 degree about 2-3" apart and covered with pipe
insulation. After the tail surfaces were folded up I would drop this down
over the top and sandwich the vertical stab and two horiz stab in between
the pipe insulation and then bungi wrap the end. I also had to jam rags
between the elevator horns and the boom tube to prevent chaffing.
I built a spreader bar for the wing leading edges, 2x4 with notches in the
end, and used an bungi between wing attach points to keep spreader in place.
I then used an ratcheting tie down to secure the leading edges so they did
not rock back and forth.
The boom has to set on a solid mount - do not let the plane travel on the
tail wheel.
With this setup I could trailer the bird up to about 55 mph without much
damage at all.

Got a question for some of you guys in snowmobile country:
Been thinking of skis for the MKIII, (had skis years ago on the Hummer,
really enjoyed flying off the snow) and instead of making skis from
scratch, wondered if adapting a set of snowmobile skis would be a good idea?
Don't have many snowmobiles in East Tennessee, not a whole lot of examples
to look at, so am too ignorant to know what to ask.
Am depending on you guys in the Frozen Nawth that are around them all the
time to give an opinion.
Good idea or bad idea?
And if it's a good idea, what do I look for?
Or stay away from?
Thanks

Richard:
John Carpenter, Whitefish, Montana made a nice set for a QS Sport. Made
them from scratch using skins from a snowmobile. I still have some of the
pictures (of them mounted) on my web site under "Ultralights and Winter
Flying". There is an email address for him on the site. He hung out on
the fly-ul list. Don't know if he is still there.

Richard,
Scott Trask up the Upper Penninsula has a beautiful set of skis on his
Kolb. Don't know if he made them from snowmobile skis or not. About the same
size though. Easy to get up in this part of the country though. I think
they'd work fine and plan on using some on mine if I ever finish it. I know
they can sure take a beating. I found that with flying my Cessna 120 with
ski's years ago that it was a good idea to carry a couple of short pieces of
2x4 with me to put under the skis when I parked or they'd freeze to the
ice/snow on the lakes I landed on. Hard to break loose if they do that.

First thing you'll want to do is call Dennis Kirk Snowmobiles
(800.328.9280) and get their catalog or just go to
www.denniskirk.com
and browse. Lots of selection in skis....composite, skis for powder,
extra wide, mounting kits, etc.....

If memory serves me right, the 2 John's flew into Death Valley last year, after leaving the Monument Valley fly-in. Those who are interested in seeing more of Death Valley, read on. The rest, please hit "delete" now. A few weeks ago, curiosity got the best of me, so I spent a long weekend playing up there and took many pictures. In May, it'll still be a good destination - after M.V., of course, and you can see many more pics of it at: http://www.webpictures.homestead.com/weekendhomepage.html . I don't think you'll want to fly in there in the summer ! ! ! I've also published a follow-up to the Bristlecone Pine / Devil's Postpile pages, called "Little Lake 2." It's a goody. Lar.
