They want to make sure you do not spot the Mexican citizens the Mexican government
is helping to cross the border... Mexicans working in this country and sending
money back home is Mexico's second largest source of income after oil exports.
You could also spot some shipments of drugs coming across the border,
which would also be bad for the Mexican economy.

Here is a report of someone using a Warp Drive prop on a B - Gear box. I agree
very strongly with his suggestion of using Synthetic Mobil 1 Gearbox oil, not
just with a warp drive, but with any prop !
" I'm not John, but try a two blade 64" Warp, (or be really conservative and use
a 62" two blade Warp) and use only Mobil One synthetic in your gearbox, and
you'll probably get by without hurting the gearbox, and you'll probably be very
satisfied. I got a couple hundred hours out of my B box with a Warp 66" two
blade, but that was with ordinary gearbox lube. A shorter prop and better lube
and you ought to do OK.

Another question occurred to me while out walking the dog, just now. Ed, you
didn't mention whether your 447 is a single carb or dual. If it's the dual
carb, make sure and do the carb synchronization as accurately as you
possibly can. Anything you can do to make the engine run as smooth as
possible is going to make the loads on the gearbox that much less. Of
course, if you have a single carb, in the words of Emily Littela, "Never
mind".

I've got a 68" three blade Warp Drive on mine.
I've also got a 503 dual carb and an "E" (same as "C" with a starter) gear box.
700 + hours so far and no problems.
I wouldn't think a two blade 64" Warp would hurt - even if it is a
lowly, finicky 447.
If it so - we surely would have heard about it by now.
I use to run a two blade 68" Warp on my old single carb 447 Firestar
and never had any problems. It might sink a little faster than an Ivo if you
land in the water........but other than that?
Besides, I've sealed my wings now - so I can float !

Howbout this one?
This is the explanation of a pretty neat card trick you can do for
friends over the Web.
In order to do the trick, you'll need five things:
* a deck of cards;
* access to the Web;
* someone to show the trick to;
* an understanding of the trick's secret; and
* practice.
The effect of the trick is as follows: the magician opens this Web
page but doesn't touch the computer for the duration of the trick.
The spectator is given a deck of cards, and asked to choose any five
cards; these cards can be chosen at random, or the spectator can
choose five cards he wants to use.
The magician takes one of the five cards out of the set, and asks his
friend to enter the other four cards into a form on the Web page (a
working version can be found below). The Guess button is pressed, and
a picture of the fifth card is displayed.
In this document, I explain everything about the trick except for its
secret. But hints are given to figure out how the trick is done, and
you can always beg me to tell you.
http://www.minortriad.com/cards.html
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah - you can beg all you want - but he won't tell you - hints come
slow and hard
took me two years to figure it out!
How about if I give you a clue - ?

| Subject: | Re: ELT Installation |
Hi guys. Sorry if I'm boring you with this thread. I had a mechanic come out
and look at my plane. He seemed to think it would NOT be a good idea to put any
holes in the boom tube (to install my ELT) or thought I should at least call
Kolb company and see if they would tell me where a good place to put my ELT
would be. Has anyone done that (don't want to bother them if they've already
answered that question a hundred times)? If I did install the ELT to the boom
tube, is there a place where I should/shouldn't put any holes?
I've attached Plan B. We came up with the idea to make an aluminum plate and rivet
it to the frame just behind the passenger's head (I have a Kolb Mark II two-seater
side-by-side). Thought there might be enough room on there to also
attach the antenna. Only drawback would be it would block where my left gas tank
comes in and out. I don't plan on taking that in and out much though.

To rivet, you'll have to drill holes in the cage tubes...possibly
weakening them. How about making/buying some clamps that will go
around/grip the tubes and can be riveted to the mounting plate? If
behind the pax seat, you most certainly don't want to give him/her a
"shot to the head" on a sudden halt!

At this point I would like to know if I have enough clearance on my
firefly, to run the 64"Warp without a spacer. It doesn't seem to flex at all !
If
In fact I do need a spacer can I use grade 5 bolts?

Ed, I don't run a spacer on my Warp Drive and the prop blades don't seem to
flex at all.
I would run the 8.8 spec metric bolts that came with the prop (equivalent to
grade 6 AN bolts). Grade 5 bolts are a carbon steel bolt, while the 8.8,
like the AN's are an alloy steel. The difference is in the alloy steels
ability to bend without getting brittle as the grade 5's do.
