Dear Listers,
As I write this its still November 30th so technically the List Fund Raiser
is still underway! :-) I've gotten so many nice comments from Listers in
the last couple of days along with their Contributions that I just had to
share them with the Lists. Guys, I really appreciate the kind words and
great support that has come in the last few days.
If you've been meaning to support your Lists this month but have just been
putting it off until the last absolute minute, now's a perfect time to make
that Contribution!
http://www.matronics.com/contribution
A special thank you to everyone that has already shown their support. I'm
compiling the List of Contributors and will post it in a couple days. In
the meantime, please read over some of the nice things people have been
saying about the List along with their Contribution...
Thank you!!!

Regarding the alignment. once I set the axel fitting for the correct angle,
I clamped the gear leg and the axel fitting with on of those quick grip
clamps. (Before this I marked the gear leg and the axel with a Sharpie so I
coud see
if anything slipped). Since I already had the hole drilled in the axel
fitting, I used the Sharpie to draw a straight line from the center of the
hole previosly drilled on one side of the axel fitting to the hole in the
other side (this to give me an eyeball direction to keep the drill lined up.
I then hand drilled the hole through the gear leg (with the gear leg still
inserted into the axel fitting). Kinda crude I guess but it worked for me.

Most of the builders out there know this but no one has said it so,
anytime I have to drill a hole that has to start on one end and come out the other
I usually make drill jig. It looks like a letter c and you drill it on the
press. for a one time use you can use wood and for more accuracy you can line the
hole with tubing. The inside of the C should match the width of the piece you
are drilling. Use a bolt in the far side to maintain position and let the
drill bit push it out as you come through the drilled piece.

Hello to all,
I just tried to read far 91.215 in regard to mode c transponder requirement
within a designated airport with a 30 nm range. It makes my hair hurt. Does
anyone know if you would need a mode c within the 30 nm if you are flying an
ultralight? If not are there ceiling limits?

If you are talking about an registered experimental, I belive the major
exemption is whether you have an "engine-driven electrical system" which
will require Mode C. I left the battery and electric starter off of my
Firestar for this reason. The Mode C veil goes to 10000 MSL which is where
you need Mode C anyway. So, there is no going over it. As for a legal
ultralight, I would consult FAR 103...

Thanks Kip, This is a true part 103 FireFly, no battery, no alternator. but
I don't know how this applies to a 30 nm ring at some airports like ours in
orlando.

My FAA inspector had no problem with allowing me inside Pittsburghs 30 mile
ring, even though I have electric start, tip strobes, and lighting coil
power.
All you have to tell your inspector is that your engines electrical system
is insufficient to power a transponder. Also avoid class B surface areas.
No electric Cub types and ultralights operate iside the 30 mile ring and
under the edges of class B every day. As long as your experimentals
electric system is considered under powered, they don't mind.
Just make sure you don't break the class B space, if one guy screws up, it
could really screw us all.
Fly safe and smart.

Hi,
The way I heard it is....you DON'T need the transponder in the Mode C ring ,
IF, you DON'T have electric start....I don't know about the ceiling,
At 18,000 ft you'll need IFR , and a HEAVY coat...
One thing I didn't know til after I bought my Transponder and encoding ALT was
,to have it Certified It'll cost me $175. (every two years)
But I'm too close to Class B airspace , so it saves me driving time.

There are ceiling limits, class B airspace looks like an upside down wedding
cake, you can fly under the floor of the airspace (which is your ceiling) up
untill you near the surface area or inner ring. At the inner ring the class
B goes all the way to the ground. The big fast heavies operate inside that
cake and you should not!
Aeronautical sectionals show the airspace clearly and also indicate the
floor and ceiling altitudes MSL.
Make sure you have your areas sectional chart and understand the airspace
boundaries.

That is the same info I got from my FSDO. Just stay out of the class B

Weighing in with an oft-overlooked point from FAR103. Regardless of the
requirement, or lack thereof, for a transponder, Mode C veills tend to be in
very populated, i.e., congested areas. I know, I know that the FAR doesn't
define congested, so please let's not get into -that- argument. My point is
that if the area could, by any reasonable definition, be considered
congested, then no ultralight should fly there.

Dear Lister,
Please read over the Kolb-List Usage Guidelines below. The complete
Kolb-List FAQ including these Usage Guidelines can be found at the
following URL:
http://www.matronics.com/FAQs/Kolb-List.FAQ.html
Thank you,
Matt Dralle
Matronics Email List Administrator
******************************************************************************
Kolb-List Usage Guidelines
******************************************************************************
The following details the official Usage Guidelines for the Kolb-List.
You are encouraged to read it carefully, and to abide by the rules therein.
Failure to use the Kolb-List in the manner described below may result
in the removal of the subscribers from the List.
Kolb-List Policy Statement
The purpose of the Kolb-List is to provide a forum of discussion for
things related to this particular discussion group. The List's goals
are to serve as an information resource to its members; to deliver
high-quality content; to provide moral support; to foster camaraderie
among its members; and to support safe operation. Reaching these goals
requires the participation and cooperation of each and every member of
the List. To this end, the following guidelines have been established:
- Please keep all posts related to the List at some level. Do not submit
posts concerning computer viruses, urban legends, random humor, long
lost buddies' phone numbers, etc. etc.
- THINK carefully before you write. Ask yourself if your post will be
relevant to everyone. If you have to wonder about that, DON'T send it.
- Remember that your post will be included for posterity in an archive
that is growing in size at an extraordinary rate. Try to be concise and
terse in your posts. Avoid overly wordy and lengthy posts and
responses.
- Keep your signature brief. Please include your name, email address,
aircraft type/tail number, and geographic location. A short line
about where you are in the building process is also nice. Avoid
bulky signatures with character graphics; they consume unnecessary
space in the archive.
- DON'T post requests to the List for information when that info is
easily obtainable from other widely available sources. Consult the
web page or FAQ first.
- If you want to respond to a post, DO keep the "Subject:" line of
your response the same as that of the original post. This makes it
easy to find threads in the archive.
- When responding, NEVER quote the *entire* original post in your
response. DO use lines from the original post to help "tune in" the
reader to the topic at hand, but be selective. The impact that
quoting the entire original post has on the size of the archive
can not be overstated!
- When the poster asks you to respond to him/her personally, DO NOT
then go ahead and reply to the List. Be aware that clicking the
"reply" button on your mail package does not necessarily send your
response to the original poster. You might have to actively address
your response with the original poster's email address.
- DO NOT use the List to respond to a post unless you have something
to add that is relevant and has a broad appeal. "Way to go!", "I
agree", and "Congratulations" are all responses that are better sent
to the original poster directly, rather than to the List at large.
- When responding to others' posts, avoid the feeling that you need to
comment on every last point in their posts, unless you can truly
contribute something valuable.
- Feel free to disagree with other viewpoints, BUT keep your tone
polite and respectful. Don't make snide comments, personally attack
other listers, or take the moral high ground on an obviously
controversial issue. This will only cause a pointless debate that
will hurt feelings, waste bandwidth and resolve nothing.
