It addressed crash worthy seats. It was a real eye opener. A question I had asked on the UL list was why did it seemed that pilots who had some landing incident with Titans or ThunderGulls seemed to experience some back injury. After reading the article I now had a better ideal why. The sling seat are another bad thing - its the rebound energy that gets you. If you get a chance look it up. Temper foam or the name Oregon calls theirs made indeed help. jerb At 12:00 PM 9/12/04 -0400, you wrote: >--> Kolb-List message posted by: "Richard & Martha Neilsen" > > >I have the original sling seats in my MKIIIc but I found that I could stand >only about 30 minutes of my tail bone riding on the cross bar.

Place the transmitter in memory mode and you can toggle 25 preset frequencies. If you don't have a manual for the Microair I think it's available online. EIS functions are same as panel.

Its a 4000ft strip with trees on both ends & a lot of big oaks hanging out along its sides. Its a piece of cake for UL's, but it looks intimidating from the air. My neighbor who owns the strip, is building a RV 8 & feels it will serve him fine. If you are in the area, give it a fly over & if you are comfortable, stop in. ...

Richard Swiderski ------------------- Thanks Richard. I guess that's 2FA2? I don't anticipate any cross countries for a while (if ever) in the SS, but I'll be about 65 miles away in the RV-3 toward the end of next month.
