Thom in Buffalo ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 06:49:43 AM PST US From: Thom Riddle Subject: Re: Kolb-List: 103 and slightly overweight A couple months ago when I attended an FAA sponsored safety seminar, I had the opportunity to talk to an FAA guy from the Rochester, NY FSDO after the program. We got to talking about enforcement actions and just what the FAA could and could not do legally. I broached this subject with him because during his presentation he related a story about a guy who was flying an airplane that the IA doing the annual inspection would not return it to service because it was unsafe and the owner would not let him do the necessary fixes. The bottom line from this particular FAA guy is that virtually all enforcement actions are against pilots, not aircraft. Eventually, he asked me if I knew anything about ULs and I said a bit. He said that this was one area the the FAA was unable to do anything UNLESS the pilot is certificated. If he/she has a pilot's certificate of any level issued by the FAA then they can sanction him by suspending or revoking his certificate for any FAR infraction. Once it is revoked the FAA can do nothing else. So if an "undocumented" "pilot" continues to fly his aircraft or vehicle, they have no remedy because their only authority is over flyers with certificates. Like driving a car without a license, they can't take it away but once. But the local courts can put you in jail for continued driving without a license. What can the local courts or FAA do about continued flying without a certificate??? That was going to be my next question for the FAA guy but he had to leave, so I never got an answer. I'm relating this because it is an interesting subject not because I condone flying illegally, which I don't. I've been ramp checked once (about three years ago) since getting my private certificate 40 years ago. The FAA inspector was interested in the Cherokee 140's documentation, not mine. Fortunately, all documents were in compliance though he never asked to see my pilot or medical certificates.

(Pretending to be a legal Part 103 ultralight even though our aircraft doesn't meet the parameters. ) In spite of Dana's post: "I wonder about the plane that's otherwise legal but has a few extra coats of paint, or wheel brakes, or instruments, or whatever, that push the weigh up to 255 lbs or 260 or 270 or so..." well - there's just no such thing as "otherwise legal". It's either legal (LESS than 254 lbs., 5 gal. gas, etc.) or it's not. The real question is whether you're willing to take the risk of getting caught. Most folks have been flying for years taking that risk and will probably continue to do so, especially single-seaters. Lots of posters have pointed out that the FAA has paid darn little attention to "fat" ultralights in the past - and everyone has a different opinion as to whether they'll begin paying more attention in the future, now that Sport Pilot is available. Thom (see post below) is incorrect - or perhaps I should say the FAA guy he quotes is incorrect. The FAA has "fining" power - as the current issue of Light Sport and Ultralight Flying points out, (Jan. 2007 issue, p. 14) "After this date [Jan. 31, 2008] you will be the owner of an aircraft that is not licensed, has no airworthiness certificate, and is being operated by a person who is not licenses as a pilot. Each infraction can carry a fine of up to $10,000 ($30,000) per occurance, and the aircraft will be confiscated." Actually - folks flying "fat" ultralights (or should we call it like it is and say "unlicensed experimental aircraft" ) don't have to wait until 1-31-2008 to fit that definition - they fit it right now! Folks HAVE been fined - I personally know of one such person (a $10,000 fine which was reduced to $4000) and have heard about more - but apparently there's not many who have been fined compared to the number of folks flying illegally. I also personally know of one BFI (flying a 2-seater with current exemptions) who had the FAA meet him upon landing at a public (non-towered) airport because a private pilot who disliked ultralights had called in a complaint. Luckily, everything was legit so the FAA left but after checking out out all his placards and paperwork. Because I like to do multi-week, multi-state cross-country flights, I decided to jump through the hoops of Sport Pilot even though I fly a single-seater. I just wasn't willing to continue to take the risk. To me it boils down to a personal decision whether we think the risk of getting caught will increase and if we're willing to take that risk.

There is no such animal on this side of the pond. Except maybe powered chutes, I don`t know. Here there will be an annual issue of a permit to fly subject to a check over by an inspector and every five years when your plane is checked for its annual IT WILL BE WEIGHED. All planes get heavier. They grow extra instruments, spats, hand held radios change into fixtures, the GPS moves up a size, strobes get installed. Every year if the plane is a bit close to the weight limit there is a frantic unscrewing of things and removals of any extraneous bits and pieces to get through the check. There is hope that we will get a derugulated class, but I cannot see the authorities loosening the strings to the extent of not having an annual inspection.

It was a good thing to take a look at the strut since I was once again reminded that I haven't gotten around to painting it, yet. One of those, I want to fly right now, I'll do it up proper this winter items. And now it's winter. Anyway. The tubing size for the outer sleeve is 3/4" X .058, the inner is 5/8" X .065. Frankly, it's a bit heavier than I would like and I'll probably go back to aluminum when I do take it off. It is stout, though, and won't bend, at least so far, under the worst "arrival" loads. :-) Rick -- Rick Girard "Ya'll drop on in" takes on a whole new meaning when you live at the airport. ________________________________ Message 12 ____________________________________ Time: 09:21:49 AM PST US Subject: Re: Kolb-List: Tail wheel strut From: "Jim Dunn" Rick, is that a fully castering tailwheel in the photo?

The long strut also agrevates the problem with bending, permanently. 2-I use 4130 tail wheel strut. However, I have it heat treated to 48 RC, which turns it into a spring.

The FAA can and will impose a civil penalty (can be in the thousands of dollars) for each violation, regardless of whether the pilot has a valid airman certificate or not. If the pilot IS licensed, they may offer the option of a fine OR a suspension. -Dana -- -- A rolling stone .... kills worms ________________________________ Message 16 ____________________________________ Time: 10:58:50 AM PST US From: Eugene Zimmerman Subject: Re: Kolb-List: Payment Question Ellery, I'm really sorry to hear about your unfortunate experience. I believe the problems you have had with Papal are not the fault of Papal but with the scum bags that mimic Paypal and e-Bay with their authentic looking email and web page interface that are actually not from these businesses at all, but are bogus messages of expert scams artists. If you never reply directly to anything that appears to be coming from these sources, but go directly to the official Papal or E-Bay websites you will have no problem. If you would first check the source address and the return path to all the authentic looking messages that appear to be coming from Pay- Pal and from E-Bay to you you would find that most if not all of them are actually NOT genuine messages from Pay Pal or from E-Bay.

Here are the top picks based on fact and safety valve bypass pressures. If you want all the whys and how comes please call me at 520-574-1080 in Tucson, Az. Yes, there is a difference. I just spent 1.5 hrs. typing on another forum and lost the whole thing so I'm not up for retyping the whole thing. This is the Readers Digest version. 1. Purolator best Pure One PL10241 synthetic medium and 3.3" long 2. This is a tie Mobile-1 M1-102 synthetic medium and more than the Mahle Mahle OC 11, this is the Rotax 825-701 It is a good filter 2.44" long 3. Sorry John H., but this filter really does fall behind these others as far as quality and filtering effiency. I used it too, until I did the research and now it is most definitly Pure One. Fram Tough Guard TG3614 Standard paper type medium, 3.3" long All bypass pressures are similar. They all start at 12 psi and the Mahle OC 11 starts at 13 psi No, 1psi does not make a difference. -------- Roger Lee Tucson, Az.

Would like to read your research and discussion paper on oil filters for the 912S. john h mkIII ________________________________ Message 25 ____________________________________ Time: 10:24:44 PM PST US From: "Richard Girard" Subject: Re: Kolb-List: Best Oil Filter for the 912 Roger, good to know, there are equivalents out there. According to K & N their HP-1002 is a replacement for the L-10241. If for no other reason that it's all ready for safety wire, I'd like to know how they compare. I'd be interested to know your research sources.
