| Subject: | AR850 Alt Encoder ( Happy Ending ) |
Hey Guys,
Every once in a while we WARN others about companys that
"burnt or screwed us"....
This was "not" the case with my Narco AR850 Alt Encoder....
I bought it 3 years ago, installed it in the plane .....
When I finally went to "Certify" the unit , the Transponder checked out
but the encoder didn't.....( Oh Crap , $395 to replace )
I wrote to Narco Avionics ( Ft Washington, PA )
The guy looked up the records and knew the sale was 3 yrs old....
But I explained that I never used it....He told me to send it in....
They found a bad Voltage regulator in the unit....and they
replaced some other stuff too.....
I think they are a good company to buy from , because they'll
do what's right.....They realize that a builder will sometimes make
a purchase that might "sit" for a while....but as long as the unit didn't
show "wear" or abuse....they were willing to fix it FREE.....
.
.
.
Gotta Fly...

You're getting to the "professional" level now, and I know the
originals are better than the
downloads to Goggle.. Bugs, I hate those little things - they hurt at about
60 mph and the taste bad too. And geese, didn't I see "Geese or ducks"??
Those are the most fun to chase and take pictures of, like herding cats.
Just stay about 20 feet above them, when the get excited, they can really
mess up your lens.

Yes those were Geese. Lots of them down there feeding on the new
growth exposed and growing on the new flats caused by the water level
dropping. I thought of you while I was chasing them, but I haven't
attained your level of expertise yet. There was also a Coyote running
for cover.
Perhaps the next ones I will be able to keep in one large file, now
that it is working better. I just haven't figured out how to paste all
the clips together or to stop screwing up or to keep the exciting parts
all together.

They can mess up more than that. Was chasing a flock of geese years ago
in the Hummer, was slightly below and behind, when one of them got
freaked and demonstrated a most unexpected "evasive manuever." He
apparently pulled in one wing and turned into a sort of cannonball maple
leaf, doing a snap/twirl spin to fall out of the V formation. Seconds
later, another one did the same thing. Picturing what that would have
done to my leading edge tube (or my bod) got me flying a bit higher.

Birds can be a big problem, back in the day I was flying for Mesa airlines was
lined up on final at Lake Havasu when I hit a bird, left a streak from the bottom
part all the way to the top of the windshield. Another time was solo flying
low along the Colorado right north of Yuma in a student's Sundowner when I
spooked Canada Geese, a great bunch of them I pulled up hard and one hit the strongest
parts of the airplane the nose wheel trunnion, I heard the thud and wondered
about the damage, there was none, there was blood and some feathers. It
ain't fun.

| Subject: | Mk ll maxumum weight |
I have succumbed to big brother and decided that I will register my Mk ll as E-LSA
so I can go check my cows without breaking any laws or being illegal. I am
pleasantly suprised that the process will be fairly simple it seems... ....I
have my EAA pack and will be sending my paperwork in, in an a day or two. The
max weight for the Mkll is 750 lbs. (I did not build the plane but I have the
builders manual and weight and balance sheet) I asked my DAR that I have secured
for this adventure if I could raise the Max weight to 830lbs. He said I could,
but it would be a good idea to ask other Mkll owners if any of them had registered
at more than 750lbs and had flown and determined a higher max weight
was safe...I guess my question is, has anyone else registered their Mkll at more
than 750 lbs max weight and how do the members of this list feel about it?...Thanks
in advance for your help....Mike
