I ran my cables thru brass tubes....But the inspector wanted to see a goober of
solder at the end of it so it couldn't just slip thru the attaching point.....
[Shocked]
Soldering to the galvanized cable doesn't take much heat....it's like it's pre
tinned....

I used brass tubing;
ran the cable through the tubing and then stuck a pin through the strands
of the cable to spread them out. FIlled the tube with solder, pin and all,
and trimmed the pin off later. Too much heat's a killer, though.

| Subject: | "Best" source for weather forecasting - wind info. |
I've been using weather.com for my source of weather information. Specifically
I want to get the best forecast for wind. I've also tried the NOAA site. Are there
other sources online that I'm missing? The wunderground.com just does not
seem to be accurate.

Hi (from the UK)
I am in the process of repairing a Twinstar Mk III (classic) and would
like to see pictures of the cage before any bits are hung on it, to see
which tubes are meant to be straight and which are not!
Any drawings with dimensions to check straightness would be appreciated
too.
For instance, can anyone tell me the dimension from the forward lower
corner of the front wing attachment tube to the OD of the forward-most
horizontal tube in front of the pedals?
Thanks,
John Brown

Here's some....
http://www.instacam.com/search.asp?searchbox=mn&searchtype=state
For that one you'll have to give your local info....it taps into real time weather
stations at local shools in your area ( camera/temps/winds )
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
http://www.usairnet.com/cgi-bin/Winds/Aloft.cgi?location=MSP&Submit=Get+Forecast&hour=12&course=azimuth
Again you'll have to put in your local info
------------------------------------------------------------------------
http://adds.aviationweather.gov/winds/
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
http://www.aeroplanner.com/weather/menu.cfm?menu=winds
--------------------------------------------------------------------
http://weather.unisys.com/
----------------------------------------------------------------
http://www.aws.com/aws_2001/broadcasters/asp/Online.asp
------------------------------------------------------------------
Maybe some of these will help...

John, I like wunderground for the local weather stations (some are better
than others) but not for their forecasts. I put together my own wx page
containing all the sites I usually use:
http://home.comcast.net/~d-m-hague/weather/weather.htm
It's local to Connecticut, but you can follow the links and browse to other
locations. The Rapid Update Cycle forecasts seem to be the most accurate
for wind.

| Subject: | Re: Firestar II HKS Conversion |
This is an update on the HKS powered Firestar. Ive been flying it regularly, and
nothing to report but good. Its smooth, powerful, starts immediately, and
hasnt missed a beat. Ive been going over it very carefully after every flight,
and everything is solid, with no sign of anything wanting to shake off or come
loose.
Fuel consumption is between 2.4 and 2.5 gallons per hour over the broad range of
flying. You could probably do a bit better than that in steady cruise.
The only thing I am going to change is to add an oil thermostat. I fly over such
a broad range of altitude and temperature that it is difficult to regulate
oil temperature by partially blocking the cooler airflow.
Here are a couple of hints for anyone contemplating using this engine:
1. The ignition is hot from the battery/rectifier. It has to have 12 volt DC
to run. It is very important to have a good grounding system. If not, it is
easy to blow an ignition module or worse.
2. Get the HKS tachometer. It is the best small tachometer Ive every used, and
has a warning light built in that comes on if you exceed maximum RPM.
Here is link to YouTube to a short video clip I posted of operations from my pasture
strip:

| Subject: | MV red bull air races |
FYI.
according to our local news this evening,,, the red bull air races will be
at MV the weekend before our unorganized, unplanned, gathering at MV... one
of the concessions of having the races there is the airport will be paved.
Those attending will be bussed into the area, which will not be around the
monuments,,, and the crowd will be limited to 5000 persons.
