    Ralph, Where there aren't trees, we have some other eat-you terrain. This is typical. Of course here there's a real good paved landing strip except for the cattle guard. Engine out once in stuff like this on the airport here in Sierra County NM in an N-3 Pup. Not a scratch thanks to that big Piper wing and 28 mph stall speed, but haven't found enough time or money to rebuild that little 255-pounder which saved my butt. jsf ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ralph Hoover" <flht99reh@columbus.rr.com> > Its obvious to us flat landers that you mountain boys trust your equipment > a great deal.

    Thanks Steven, good info. Also, Morts, tragic crash happened on his way to celebrate a victorious election to congress in '74 after many years in the broadcasting bussiness. But the story does not end there, his wife took his place after that crash, and went on to a 20 career in politics. Always an interesting story behind every tragic event.

I don`t think we ever said that. I would just point out that in spite of the increased cost of oil the majority of the money paid at the pump is tax imposed by our respective governments. All you can do is stop voting for them. But then no one will admit voting for either Bush or Blair but they are there just the same.

    From: "John Jung" <jrjungjr@yahoo.com>
    --> Kolb-List message posted by: "John Jung" <jrjungjr@yahoo.com> David, I have flown a 377 Firestar and a 503 Firestar II DI with one and two carbs. Also, a 447 on another plane. After having a DI Rotax, I would not like to go back to single ignition. The DI just runs better, less chance of a stall on decent, lack of throttle lag on a go around, tolerates a rich mixture at high altitude, etc. I would run the 503 and just not exceed the VNE. Also, the 503 can be economical if you don't use all the power. I once flew home from Oshkosh with an MXII at 45 mph and only used 2.25 g/h, and that was in a heaver Firestar II.

    The Mite's a great little airplane... 121mph indicated on 3.5 gph... I guess I should say, it's great as long as the termites keep holding hands.. . Many, many years ago, a guy had a Mite at Napa, CA airport... He chained the tail down and propped it... Propped it one day with full throttle... Pulled the tail off the fuselage and the airplane took off across a field finally hitting something, total, except for the tail...

    Well since this is a single place 780 or 830 lb. Max. G.W. aircraft, more similar to an ultralight than a Cessna the story goes. maybe in those days the CAA or the Feds by any oither name didn't consider em airplanes, so they didn't bother. Amigo now gone, had one, offered to let me use it; declined. Never had much fun in low-wings aside from a Sia Marchetti when a stunt pilot at an air show I was flakking said "Do whatever you want." Since he was there and I knew loved life as much as I did and would save our butts if necessary, I did. Didn't know how to do a Lamshlovak, much less spell it, so skipped that one.

    --> Kolb-List message posted by: "Ed Chmielewski" <edchmiel@mindspring.com> Hi John, Good luck, let us know how they work. ANR (active noise reduction) for $80? Do they have a web site? For anyone with older David Clark-style sets, the ANR add-on from headsets.com is excellent at $160.

    Hi David, Had a local guy years ago who also had a Mite. During an annual, they only found 1 dead termite. Unfortunately, there were 100,000 others who attended the funeral...

I guess I should say, it's great as long as the termites keep holding hands...
