you share the same dilemma we all have.You can give way or you can carry on till
impact.
As I am flying an ultralight vehicle, I am supposed to give way to all
other flying aircraft.>>
Hi,
that is a problem that we dont have in the UK. Steam still gives way to
sail at sea but in the air a plane is a plane is a plane.Except that we all
give way to balloons.
Are you persona non grata because you are unregistered? All aircraft are
registered here. Gliders in the UK but not in Europe have been unregistered
for years but even the gliders have lost that distinction recently in our
rush to regularise things across Europe.
Interesting the way our systems differ. As usual there are swings and
roundabouts(carousels). The problems about selling or registering a plane
by someone other than the builder which is a hot topic on the list at the
moment is just something which does not arise here. On the other hand we do
not have the freedom of your Experimental category .
We have moved a little way toward it though by allowing a really light
ultralight to be built without having to receive a C of A. It will have to
have a noise certificate however and be registered.
The dead hand of bureaucracy is everywhere. Lucky you in spite of the
problems seem to have more freedom left than most of us.
Cheers
Pat ( Still waiting for the paperwork to arrive so that I can test fly my
repaired Xtra.)

"ropermike" asked, << my Mkll ... I have ordered an AmeriKing AK-450
ELT. Where is the best place to install it? Thanks in advance....Mike >>
Hi, Mike -
Here's how I did it: For installing a AK-450 in my Mark-III, I attached
it to the side of the six-inch tail boom tube, near the forwardmost end
where it attaches to cage structure. I fabricated a pair of wooden
saddle blocks to interface between the 6" tube and the flat ELT base.
Two large hose clamps hold the setup securely against the boom tube.
Access to the ELT switch is easy, right behind the pilot's seat back.

My approach always has been "if there's a conflict, he wins". We can
sort it out later if we're still alive.
On boats, if he's a lot bigger he has the right-of-way. But I still
blow 7 blasts to let him know (and everyone else within earshot)
he's being an idiot

| Subject: | buzzing vibration |
I went out for a sundown ride last night. Calm on the ground, enough
breeze at pattern altitude for a good crosswind crab, but still smooth.
Being too lazy lately to replace a lost pitot cover, the bugs plugged
that thing. So all my performance numbers were nonexistent.
(although zero mph climb speeds are pretty impressive)
Question is this: in bumpy air I get an intermittent buzzing
effect. Maybe a vibration, maybe only a sound effect. Generally only
when running full cruise above 4700 rpm. It isn't the ailerons
because I KNOW what they do from experience (still got to
move those balancers from the shelf to the wings)
My thinking is that it has something to do with the relationship
between my prop and bump-induced yaw. The sideways
moving prop biting the air unevenly. 3 blade powerfin. Anyone else
experience a similar effect?

Steve,
I did not do my own, but had a local shop do a ton of it for two
differant planes I built.
Check local listings, you might be surprised how affordable it is.

Bob,
Might be a aileron gap seal or center section leak. On my FireFly, I ran
the gap seals the whole way to the pivot arm. The propeller wash wore them
out in the creases and so finally, I removed that portion of the gap seal.
They used to sing like blowing by a blade of grass held between your thumbs
etc.

I now own an airplane! This morning I received my airworthiness certificate
for my Firefly, N7057K, serial # "CD-1".
The inspector certainly looked over the paperwork, but seemed more
interested in helping me get it filled out to a acceptable level, not on
gigging me for mistakes. He did spend about 30 minutes inspecting the
airplane, and made a few suggestions. While he was not overly picky, I got
the definite impression that had he found anything he considered dangerous,
he would have failed me unless it could be corrected. As usual when
dealing with government, the person you are dealing with is more important
then the details of the regulations.
I am now confined to 10 Nm's around Smoketown, PA for 5 hours.
Also, regrading a point raised on a few earlier posts: My plane's builder
is officially listed as "Kolb". The instructions which came with the
original registration stated that (as you would expect) the builder would
normally be the applicant. However, as the FAA understood you may not know
the original builder of a plane being converted to E-LSA, you are allowed to
enter the kit manufacturer.

Do not know about home anodizing. However, have used the alodine

Hi Richard:
I'll see if I can find a photo of some of my alodined stuff. I did the
3/8" aluminum angle engine mounts with gold alodine. Also the rudder
trim tab. I also use clear. I think there are other colors available.
To process, I use a phosphoric acid bath, clear water rinse, followed by
a few seconds in the alodine. Does not take long. Too long and the
aluminum will really get dark, using the gold. Clear should not pose a
problem. No need to dry after rinsing phosphoric acid off.
Results are good. For engine mounts, it protects the aluminum and
unlike primer and paint, do not have to worry about the fasteners
loosening up because engine vibration eats into the paint.

Why on earth would you register a firefly, keep it as an ultralight. Why pay more
money to fly your plane. That makes no sence.
