Hi All,
can any of the MV crew please tell me how it all started? Did someone pick
a place at random, did someone fly in to Gouldings and just thought it
looked good and talked up the idea of a fly in?.
Was this years MV the 6th or 7th fly in?. I have been told both figures.
Does anyone have a definitive list of plane types which were there. I have
Challengers and Drifters and a Cessna and Mark 3`s but would like a
breakdown of the single seaters. Please.
Pat

Pat Sept. of 2002, Erich Weaver , myself and others started a cross
country trip through southern Utah. The plan was to start in Beaver Utah,
the next day we were to go to Moab then to MV and Bryces National park, back
to Beaver then disperse to home.... the trip went ok through Moab... then
the weather in the MV area turned into thunderstorms, some of the others I
had flown with down from Salt Lake City had a positive be home by date,,,
with no time in the schedule for rain delays.... the agreement I had with
them was,, if anyone had to go for any reason, we would all go together
without complaints.... so from Moab all of the northern Utah flyers headed
for home..... so that December Erich sent an email to me through the list
and asked if I wanted to finish the trip... so I picked a date in May 2003,
and replied,,, others on the list jumped at the idea and the gathering was
on.

Paul,
A few years ago I restored/rebuilt a Wizard ultralight. Many pieces were
missing, so I was left to come up with my own unproven designs on a couple
of parts. One of the things that turned out to be in need of improvement
that I built was the throttle. Mine, like yours, was touchy as a son of a
gun! I had a friend test-fly my Wizard (Quicksilver clone) and he really
suggested fixing it, too.
By moving the push/pull point closer to the pivoting point on the
throttle lever, I significantly changed the rpm range when applying power.
Now, when you push the lever to increase power a 1/2" you get 50 rpm
increase, instead of 300 rpm. So, instead of an overall throw of 2 1/2" I
ended up with a 7" throw. (These numbers are from memory, but you get the
idea.)
So it is my experience, and opinion that you might really consider
improving the throttle response to not being so touchy.
If your set-up is like mine was, a lever you push and pulled, then all you
need to do is relocate the attach point closer to the fulcrum. (Cut the
distance in half and see how that acts)
Of course, the overall distance of throw will limit the attach point,
also. You will want to make sure you still have the full rpm capability.
The geometry has to make sense!!!
One more thing to consider would be the safety aspect. I believe it would
be very possible to experience PIO (pilot induced oscillation) if you can't
control your RPM range precisely. (That's kind of what my friend
experienced. He said there was "no control", just rapid changes to much
different RPM settings!)
Best of "training" regarding your first flight, ( I don't
believe in "luck")

BTW. My shop and pool I have been building are virtually finished. All
that's left on my shop is the doors I am going to make. Here's a photo with
my MkIII and the GlaStar.

| Subject: | My first Kolb on Barnstormers |
My first Kolb is on sale at Barnstormers, when I bought the plane it had
"225" hours, when I sold it "320". I saw it a year ago with only "180" hours
on the engine now it only has "80" hours on the engine! Of course there
could be a new engine but I'd bet it's the same old 582 gray head. I'll bet
there's easily over 600 hours on that engine.

I purchased the EAA kit for getting my FSII N #. Where is a good place to install
this metal tag?
