No need to cross fingers. You and Larry will have a great flight, and you all will be at MV, Lord willing and the creek don't rise, and............. the Rotax keep turning. If I could do it 20 years ago in a point ignition, single carb 447, and a Firestar, you and Larry can do the same thing. Of course, my buddies Will U and Dave R can and did some long cross country in their Firestars. Yes, I must agree, last year's Kolb Unplanned/Unorganized Monument Valley Flyin was a complete success and now, it is also a very special one and always will be. Primarily because there are great memories of my buddy, AZ Dave and Eve. Not only last year, but all four years. Kolb folks are special, and that is why I keep going back to MV.

How often will you be flying into it? If it's Class C and you're only flying into it occasionally, I would probably skip the transponder and encoder. Instead I would call your local RAPCON on the phone and ask them if it is a problem getting clearance into the airspace on short notice. If you have no Xpdr installed the regs say you need 1 hr advance notice, but I suspect they will say no problem in which case I would just call by radio when you want to go in. If it's class B and/or you plan to go into this airport often, I'd find the cheapest Xpdr & encoder I could find. Theoretically/legally this also means a transponder check every 2 years. In case you didn't know, the blind encoder is a separate device that determines your altitude referenced to 29.92 and inserts that altitude into the return echo so the radar operator can get an altitude readout. The cheapest (new) is about $179. You will also need an antenna, cable, and it should have a circuit breaker. It's called "blind" because it doesn't know what your altimiter's altitude is. Non-blind encoders are internal to the altimiter. Jim N. Idaho > > I'm in the process of getting my Firestar registered. I will need a > transponder to use one of the airports I may be flying into.

I give it two squirts, and pull the engine through compression two times to move charge into the engine. Then I put the choke full on and hit the starter.

The best feeling in the world is getting back on the ground successfully. Then you have to figure out how to get out of the aircraft and get it tied down before you get blown away. >> This happened to me on a flight a month ago: The wind was only about 15 mph, and right down the runway ... well within my personal limits for flying my Mark-III that day. So I went flying. At 1000 feet AGL, I throttled back to 50 mph indicated, and realized that I was NOT moving with respect to the ground! Sat there looking straight down at the same house for ten minutes - this was fun. And the wind was smooth and steady - no gusts or turbulence. The airplane felt like it was just flying on a normal day ... except going nowhere. Landing was a hoot. I positioned myself at 1000' directly over the center of the runway, and began descending vertically, like an elevator. Only when I got to within 200 feet of the surface did I finally begin moving forward again. The landing was uneventful, and ground handling was not a problem in the 15 mph surface wind. Apparently, the boundary layer at the earth's surface over my airport that day caused by the moving atmosphere had a pretty steep gradient, ranging from very little at the surface (15 mph) to very strong wind (50 mph) at altitude. Since I was all by myself, I was lucky to not have to deal with horrendous ground winds when putting my airplane away that day.
