Welcome to NewZealand. Sounds like you would like it here. Only places that
they get a bit touchy is flying into
international airports. For some reason they like you to announce your
intended arrival time and carry a radio ?
Our aircraft all have ZK numbers a bit like your N numbers but the license
has not gone to the sports aviation license as yours has .Some day those
that dislike our little planes will come to understand that the only enemy
is gravity.Fly where you will and enjoy, their problems and hang ups are not
yours to ponder over.

Aw, geez, Ellery - now my feelings are hurt, Amigo! ;-)
In retrospect, here's how I summarized the outcome of my "mud flats
landing" event last July: Every emergency is different, and you almost
never know what the outcome might be, due to all the possible variables.
For my case, when the oil cap went thru the prop, I was getting a
vibration from the engine due to the damaged prop blade. My choices
were: 1) try to fly 20 miles back to my home airport (nearest airport),
or 2) do an off-airport precautionary landing as soon as practicable.
I was over some dry lake beds at the time, so I chose to land on it.
Turns out it was muddy below the dry surface crust, so my wheels bogged
down and my Mark-III went on its back. The alternative would have been
to land on the grassy tundra-like terrain surrounding the lake beds.
But on closer inspection, that choice would have been far more
disastrous! What looked like grassy meadow from 1000' agl was in fact
very rough clump grass. I would have ended up with MUCH worse damage to
my plane - bent gear legs, bent frame, etc. There were no nearby roads
to land on, either. I'm glad I chose the lake bed to land on. Damage
was minimal.
Could I have made it back to the airport? Maybe. Maybe not. I did not
want to deal with the possibility of that prop blade failing half way
home, and the potentially disastrous result of that!
So the lesson here is, we have to make the best judgment we can based on
the circumstances apparent to us when faced with an emergency. Your
outcome may vary from the other guy's.
Meanwhile, I am beginning to look more favorably at these ultra-robust
Warp Drive props ...

| Subject: | Cuyuna UL II-02 wiring diagram |
Does anyone have any info on the Cuyuna UL II-02 ignition wires?
Since I put the engine back on the plane I forgot which wire goes to the Ignition
kill switch, and the rpm.
Also seems like there are more connectors than I am using and wonder what the others
are for?
I also bought a Stratomaster E1 digital 3 1/2" instrument that will display my
EGT's, CHT's, Engine Time, Flight timer and RPM (does water temp and Oil Presure
to if you have them) all in a single nice compact package.
I plan on powering it by a separate 9.6 volt 1400 mah NiMH battery from the hobby
shop. Weighs about a pound and will help keep me Part 103 Ultralight, as opposed
to a typical heavier 12v battery.
It will provide 24+ hrs of use before I need to recharge the battery, so I'll just
bring it along with my handheld radio for charging before flying.

How about California?
340+ flyable days a year,
Choose your temperature by your elevation, and location
Dryer warmer south and moister/colder north.
Pick your scenery, Yosemite Park, Mojave Deserts, Big Redwoods, Salt Lakes, Mountains,
Pacific Ocean what ever tickles your fancy or just see it all in a day
or two flying adventure any time of the year.
Plenty of wide open spaces and places to live.
I was just looking at an airpark community at Lake Riverside, in Riverside county,
California. About $80,000 for a lot with airport rights etc.
Like they say in California, if you don't like the weather where you are drive
for 1/2 hour and the weather could be entirely different.
You can land where ever you want, just have the right equipment for the airspace
and do your normal pilot communication stuff.
Many private fields don't even use radio.
I've been to some of the places you mentioned and frankly wonder how many pilots
land in trees every year.....some places seem to have no landable fields with
range. I suppose in reality its not as bad as it looks and theres always roads
to land on, but first impression seems densely forrested.

Now I don't get that sad feeling anymore. [Wink]
Today its 78 degrees and on my walk I saw a couple ultralights buzzing around at

Power motivation to get my Ultrastar done ASAP.
The air is still in my area during the winter most days until about noon
Perfect for enjoying some casual flying around the country side going nowhere in

Hello everyone,
I hope you all are doing fine.
Now I was wondering if there is a Flight Testing Standard available that addresses
all safety issues. (and its free)
If not, I am planning to take up this issue and create a proper Flight testing
Plan that addresses all safety issues for any single engine / prop based aircraft.
This should be free for all to use and refer too.
Anyone interested in directing me towards a better resource. or assisting me my
attempt.
awaiting your valuable comments,
faisal.

They area list of articles not a complete Flight Test Plan.
I have not seen any plan on EAA that carries Flight Testing Checklists or Flight
Testing Cards (As advised for testing by FAA).
normally only a general description is given not the complete procedure to follow.
They normally don't even tend to provide you with possible adverse effects of attempting
a maneuver.
I intend to make a Complete. Step by step list that addresses each test, its need,
its procedure, its pits and falls, requirements for attempting the maneuver,
recording of the result, analyzing it to define limitations.

Since I'm doing the work myself,
after I complete the repairs, I'll certify in my logbook that the plane
is again airworthy (a privilege I enjoy with the Repairman's Certificate
for this plane, as the builder). Then, I'll pick up the renewal of my
insurance where I left off. Easy. >>
Hi Kirby,
lookes as though the system worked well for you. Here the amount of work
you can do is unlimited but any `incident` should be reported and if it is
repair large enough to make it worth while making an insurance claim the
repair would probably be signed off by a PFA Inspector.
There uis a range of stuff which you can do to your engine and this is due
to be increased and something like your `repairman` exam is on the cards in
the near future.
I know my building/ mechanic capabiliities and I am delighted to pay an
expert. If I put up a shelf things roll off the end.
Some of the regs are just nonsense. When my brother and I built the
Challenger ( he was a good mechanic) there was a spot weld required in the
brake assembly . The only weld in the entire plane. I went to a local
aircraft producer to get it done through the back door by some guy in his
lunch hour. So far so good. When I said I needed a certificate, requiresd by
the PFA, then everything moved up a notch.. A qualified, and `approved`
welder had to be employed . In the end the guy who was going to do it in his
lunch break did the job anyway but it had to go through the `proper`
channels, and at `proper` costs to get the certicate.
Things seem to be easing slightly in Europe what with the increae in the
weight that defines a microlight and the Single Seat Deregulation etc but
we are never going to get your system. On the other hand some things are
getting worse. Mandatory transponders will be introduced in the near future.
Another weight and cost penalty we shall have to bear.
Cheers
Pat

FAA AC 90-89a - Amatuer-Built Aircraft & Ultralight Flight Testing Handbook
has a lot more step by step information as well, also on the EAA website.
Since that has been adequate for Home builders, if you need more, you will probably
have to use one of the large aerospace agencies criteria for flight testing.
Not likely that they will make any of that available to a non-staff member.

Best place to fly, IMHO, would not be in New England. Lots trees, in
the south too many bloody big houses, city gov's that rule against
such things, etc etc. Northern is much better but cold in the winter,
clouds, fog, and still all those trees!
I like New England, don't get me wrong; but the short-sightedness of
the people drives me nuts. Stick-in-the-mud thinking, that is.
I plan to move, but what I want is (note: "want", not expect to find)
A place where flying is welcomed
grass strip closeby
snow mountain for skiing
coral reef for skindiving
salt water for sailing
maybe 50' pistol range in the backyard; I have that now
Understandably, I'm still looking. may have to revamp my parameters!!
I find it interesting to read all the responses.

I am going to have to go to Dennis's defense here. On our trip back from MV
this year I was flying over the Bonneville Salt flats going to Wendover. I
had no problems, just wanted to land on the salt just to say I did. I had
been looking at it for quite some time and I found a spot that looked really
good. Well, I decided to do a test high speed touch down to see if it was
soft. Good thing too, when my speed got down to about 40 I could feel the
wheels sinking lower and lower in the salt. I gave it full up and full
throttle and just barely managed to pull it out of the salt. Keeping in mind
that I did not have any innocent young passenger to worry about if the blade
came apart, and I really didn't feel that I had to land anywhere. Given
other factors such as those mentioned above I am pretty sure that I would
have been stuck in the muck as well. I notice all the time here in the
desert that tings on the ground are a lot rougher than from the air.

stress the "IF', you could get Alice to to step out of WonderLand, you
could step IN.I don't think she(Alice) would go for the 50' pistol
range, but maybe with the right approach she would let you have 1-1/2

Mike,
I lived in south eastern Missouri for about ten years. I hangared at
Perryville (K02). I lived close to Jackson. K02 is located in the
Mississippi River bottom. There is a multitude of airports close by in
Missouri and Illinois. I belonged the EAA Chapter 453, located at Painton,
MO. It was a very active chapter, and it met at 2 PM on the third Sunday of
the month. The chapter club house is located at a grass strip next to
Painton, so it was possible to fly to the meetings. All kinds of terrain
within a fifty mile radius.
Cost of living is reasonable, with mild winters. Lots of sunshine all year
around. The only weather down side is an occasional tornado.
So, why am I retired and living in eastern Indiana? A grand daughter.

ultralights ...

Of course I'm looking for Disneyland, or someplace that doesn't exist
-- but I can dream
The Barrett-50 wouldn't do too good on my range, and tho I've got the
neighbors used to .22, .38 and 9mm I don't think they'd like the .50
Not my type of gun anyway. Now the Taurus 'Judge' --
don't arch

Dave, Contact Mike Z at Mike Z Sport Aviation. He lives in Lakeland and his
office is at Plant City Airport. My advice is don't take any chances. Go to
FAA.gov and order an N number tonight. I'm serious do it now, there's a five
week backlog to get your registration through and you can't start the
airworthiness procedure until you get the hard card back. Print out form
8050-88a and get an 8050-1 registration form (it's a three parter and you
can't download it) from the Tampa or Lakeland FSDO. Fill out the forms,
don't sign the -88a until in the presence of the notary (been there, did
that) and send all off to OK City tomorrow. Mike can put you in touch with
Jay (DAR) at South Lakeland (X49) for the inspection. Hope this helps.

faisal,
A book that I have liked that addresses what to test, what to expect
and what to do to fix it is:
<http://www.amazon.com/Flight-Testing-Homebuilt-Aircraft-Vaughan/dp/1560276282/ref=sr_1_1/002-8840113-1392856?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1193883942&sr=1-1>

by Vaughan Askue (Paperback - Jul 1, 1992)
Amazon has the book and you can see more detail at:

I wasn't meaning to cause any ill feelings and I think you have taken it that
way.
I usually leave my self an emergency landing exit on cross country flights
and on short around the neiborhood flights there are plenty of places to put
down in case that Fan behind me stops making wind for any unsuspected reason
I-95 is the whole length of our state just a real long strip and I wouldnt
hesitate to put down there in any pinch because when you get away from it
theres going to be a real hard long walk if you can survive the landing

The climate you are looking for exists at elevations above 2500 feet on the western
side of the Island of Hawaii. However, the rest......?
