Hi to the list from the UK where the weather is clear, the wind is nil, and
the temperature is just too high for carburettor icing. Just right for a
quiet, bump free flight around the surrounding countryside.
No such luck. I have been shaking a tin most of the morning at the local
mall on behalf of my Rotary Club and my back is giving me gee up. Just
finished peeling the potatoes, polishing the glasses, putting the wine where
it will slowly warm up ready for the feasting. Put my present to Wendy on
the tree. Made sure that the painting of a Lancaster which she has bought me
for my present is securely tucked away.
The tree is almost buried by a pile of presents for the children and
grandchildren. Christmas cards are hanging in great loops all along the
beams in my lounge. The fire is laid and piles of logs in reserve. The
mistletoe is hanging over the door.
We are about ready.
Hope you are too.
Best wishes to everyone on the list. Have a great Christmas and a New Year
with many hours of happy flying.
Cheers
Pat

My 24' Haulmark trailer has a "Torflex" suspension system which actually
gives it four wheel independent suspension. The trailer actually weighs 3600
lbs but you would never know it by the way it trails, feels light but is
very solid.
Torflex info: The Torflex suspension system is a torsion arm type suspension
which is completely self contained within the axle tube. It attaches
directly to the trailer frame using brackets which are an integral part of
the axle assembly. The Torflex axle provides improved suspension
characteristics relative to leaf spring axles through the unique arrangement
of a steel torsion bar surrounded by four natural rubber cords encased in
the main structural member of the axle beam.
The wheel/hub spindle is attached to a lever, called the torsion arm, which
is fastened to the rubber encased bar. As load is applied, the bar rotates
causing a rolling/compressive resistance in the rubber cords. This action
provides the same functions as conventional sprung axles with several
operating advantages including independent suspension.
These can be installed on almost any trailer frame.

Oh yah, I forgot that you're 8 hours ahead of us. :-) Merry Christmas,
Pat, sounds like you're lined up for a good one. Merry Christmas, or Happy
Holidays to everyone else, too. Hope your holiday goes as well as Pat's.
Without the 'gee up' back, of course. :-) Lar.

My cousins from Canada are visiting, and a full schedule is in the works.
Weather in Furnace Springs is CAVU, no wind, temps at 7:00 AM are 50 F., and
looking to rise to around 75 - 80. A nice hike to the mountains above Bob
Hope's house later this AM, and a dinner get together later. Sweet.
Tomorrow, I'll introduce my Minnesota snowbird neighbors to the joys of
roasted chestnuts - if I can find any today. A sightseeing flight is
planned for tomorrow AM to introduce a 1st time visitor to the desert to the
joys of flying.

Hi Gang:
Here's of photo of Dave Piper's new MKIII taken by James Tripp
yesterday afternoon, at Wetumpka Airport, Alabama:
http://www.c-gate.net/~ppetty/Hauck's%20Stuff/Misc%20Photos/2005-12-23%20083_resize.jpg
If it looks a little like my MKIII, it is because this is the only
other MKIII modified by Jim Hauck.
Congratulations to Dave for a great looking MKIII. One of these days
I am going to get to see it too.
Take care,
john h

Bob/All
By all means stop the noise at its source but if you can't try my idea it
really works. I have been using ear plugs under my headphones but can't
stand not hearing the radio and passengers. I just started using ear phones
like the ones that are used by Ipod users in noisy environments. The ear
phones are the kind that are placed in your ear canal. They reduce outside
noise the same way ear plugs do (but not quite as much) by plugging the ear
canal. I plug the ear phones and the head phones into the intercom. With the
noise canceling headphones on over the ear phones it is quiet AND you can
hear. Note! you will want to turn the radio way down. It's not pretty but it
works.
Also I got my doctor to prescribe noise canceling headphones. Now I'm trying
to get my insurance to pay for them. The insurance covers hearing aids. When
I called them they said I need a procedure code and seems like a treatment
code. With that info it is no problem. From what I hear head phones are much
cheaper than hearing aids and some of the newer noise canceling headphones
should keep me from needing hearing aids a bit longer.

Holiday Tree were still using the old Christmas Trees. I guess we could
debate which one is better on this list.
