| Subject: | Re: Ms Dixie update |
Well gang after a week off Im back to work on Ms. Dixie. Radio came in yesterday
and we mounted it in the console last night. Also cut holes for flap push/pull
tubes and checked for clearance. Looks like my guess work was pretty close!
We bought a Becker 2 1/4" radio/intercom. Looked over the wireing diagrams but
the symbols appear to be in German. Anyone had any experiance with this?

Hi All,
some people at MV and several on this list have commiserated with me
about the restrictions which are placed on us in the UK and the hoops i
am having to jump through to get my plane back in the air.
As it happens there is an interview witgh Francis Donaldson, the Chied
Engineer of the PFA in this months Flyer whic explains the difference in
approach. Also a couple of general points.Also bear in mind that we are
talking general homebuilts here, not just ultralights.
And I quote
16 years ago the PFA had 800 a/c on the books for which they issued
annual permits. Now there are 2,200 Permit a/c which are certificated
annually and more than 100 new projects building every year.
Question.
You have refused several types a Permit although they are common in the
USA. Why is that?
Answer.
There is a huge difference between the USA and the UK. Over there the
builder takes much more responsibility for the a/c even after it is
sold. The reason why some homebuilts are broken up rather than sold
complete by the builder.
In the UK the PFA takes that liabilty off the builders shoulders.
Because of this I have to consider not just the builder, who may be
quite capable of dealing with some aspects of the handling- but also all
of those who may own the a/c. after him.
How about accepting an a/c by the PFA.
When I took over I found that several types had been approved apparently
on the basis of people taking glowing reports of foreighn a/c as being
accurate. People took a lot of trouble getting these planes approved by
the PFA only to find that ther handling was diabolical.
There is now an independent check at the very start of the process to
stop every one wasting their time and money on a lemon.
End.
Incidentally `deregulation` is now a fact over here. This means thjat an
ultralight weighing less than 115kg empty, with a single seat and a wing
loading of less than 10kg per sq metre. This it is hoped will rejuvenate
manufacturers or importers to bring in types from abroad. There are
less hurdles as there is no lengthy airworthiness process to go through.
Safety will be the resposibility of the importer.. This certainly
means that the Firefly will now become a front runner.
Cheers
Pat

| Subject: | MV 2007 Movie and Photos |
For those interested, here is a Window Media Player movie. It is 7.39MB in size.
Sorry in advance for our dialup Kolbers.
http://home.tx.rr.com/bbam/MV2007.wmv
I have also added the photos to my website to include MV and the Alvord Desert.

I have another video of Flight Ops at MV but can't figure out a way to post it
since it is 13.1MB. I don't want to use YouTube, it ruins the view.
