do not archive. Just wanted to mention that -- bless their hearts -- the
list is nice right now with all the rocket scientists gone-a-fly'n. Dont
get me wrong, I love the info these guys impart but who really needs or
cares about the formula for rocket fuel, just how much and how to light it.
Right now you are discussing real stuff, blades and such as the list was
intended. The ole saying, "when the pre-madonas' are away, the dummies will
play". I are one. keep it coming. By the way, I too have installed the
needle wrong in my ole firestar, 447 and had quite a thrill talking off and
getting around the patch to land again. Live and learn. Ted Cowan.

Group,
I believe that I have discovered a problem between alcohol fuels and
capacitance fuel senders. I use my EIS for monitoring fuel. After
moving to the Phoenix area, the EIS would indicate about 3 gallons when
the tank was full. It would not respond to re-calibrating, either. So,
I ordered a new probe. But, before I installed the new probe, the EIS
started indicating fuel correctly again. What changed? I had switched
to 100LL. Phoenix has gas with 10% alcohol, which I used until getting
a hanger. More recently, a friend added a capacitance sender and a fuel
gage to his Firestar II. Same problem. At my suggestion, he filled his
tank with 100LL. Gage worked. Has anyone else run into this?

I returned from Lakeland last nite after a 27 hr drive. (2 days ). Other than
a shower on wed. morning, the weather was great. The growds seemed down
somewhat. Possibly because they were charging $30 a ticket for entree. That is
tough to bring the family. Also the gas prices may have held some travelers back?
Two things of interest I learned at the Kolb Trailer. They are looking into a
6 gal. gas tank and they are 1/2 way done in the development and design of
returning the "LASER". Yes it will even be red but constructed out of composite
material. I hope it wasnt meant to be a surprise but they didn't say to keep
it quiet.

Check this months Kitplanes for a more in depth explanation of gasahol
fuel and capacitance. Good timing eh.

Bob,
Last time I went to S N F they charged a whole week of camping even if
you just wanted to camp for 2 nites. They would not refund the difference.
That is not fair . At least at oshkosh they will refund the days you dont use.
Do you know if that is still the way they operate? If so I may never go back!

Hello Kolbers,
George Randolph & I just got back from S & F tonite. It was a
shocker to see the camping & registration fees-- well over $200 for 2 people
for more than 3 days! It is still the premiere UL/Sport Plane/Experimental
gathering of aviation, but I sure miss the good old days when it was
affordable & not so over regulated with silly rules. We had a great time at
the Kolb gathering on Friday nite. We had a great bunch with great stories.
It was really nice to see old friends & put faces on some of our Kolb
Listers. The weather was extreme for a Florida Spring. The cold blustering
wind was unrelenting. Steve Green's hotdog grilling technique sure beat
George's beans of last year.
Personally I enjoyed the forums a great deal & learned some good
stuff. Time for bed. ...Richard Swiderski

Dear Listers,
The upgrade of the Matronics Email Server can be considered complete at
this time. All known issues related to the upgrade process have been
resolved and email services are running normal. The Nightly Digest
processing has not yet been tested and will wait for tonight's update.
If you encounter any odd behavior with respect to the Matronics Email
Server over the next few days, please contact me via email at
dralle@matronics.com or if that fails try dralle@speakeasy.net.
Thanks to everyone for being patient through this arduous process of a
major system upgrade!
