Are hand deployed chutes still available? I know they are for hang gliders
and paragliders, but for larger planes? At $500 vs. $2500 or more I think
there'd be a lot less resistance to the idea, even though the more
expensive rocket deployed chute is probably more reliable.

Call Betty Pfeiffer at High Energy Sports. To bring down 450 to 500
lbs at a reasonable descent rate your going to need a chute bigger
than one for a paraglider or hang glider. I went from 6' 2" to 6' 1"
by having too small a chute. :-)

| Subject: | Re: GPS recommendations |
I had a change to use my airmap 600c alongside the (then) co-owner's 296 when I
ferried my titan from nebraska down here to new mexico.
The 296 sat in the RAM mount while I kept the 600c on my lap. The 296 lost the
satellites on several occasions for reasons unknown, once somewhere over Kansas
for quite a while. The 600c never lost coverage the entire trip, even occasionally
falling between my legs on the seat.
I'm still mystified as to why the garmin lost coverage, since the airmap kept a
firm lock during the same time. When I got back I compared them both in the office,
the airmap was able to pick up a couple satellites and once even got a
lock, but the 296 couldn't pick up any.
Personally, I think this particular 296 might have a problem, though what it is
I'm not sure.
The airmap does use a 16 channel reciever where the 296 uses a 12 so they are different
recievers.
The airmap, though, is one of the best bang/buck options you can get though. The
software isn't as good as the garmin but once you get used to using it, it does
most everything you need. Screen is a little small tho so if you're farsighted
like I am be sure and pack the reading glasses.

I seem to recall a thread a little while ago about VG's, where suggestions were
made that they weren't needed tho the suggestor had no experience with them on
his plane?
insert big smiley here.....
As for the Baron's advice, I have no trouble with an alternative viewpoint - i.e.
lots of experience with pilotage/ded reckoning - being put into the mix when
it comes to GPS, tho I'll admit that pertains more to the question of no GPS
vs. using (any) GPS.
As for the particular brand of GPS I've used garmin and airmap GPS's a fair bit
and find the differences to be pretty minimal, with each having advantages/disadvantages.
The airmaps are less expensive and have very good bang/buck, the
600c being in my experience a great deal. The Garmins, OTOH, have better software,
IMO. It's somewhat easier to use and is a little more capable.
As for satellite outages, they're real and a valid concern. For example, the military
shuts down GPS in my area on a regular basis for hours at a time. The coverage
of the shutdown is pretty significant too and you wouldn't want to be
in the middle of shooting an approach in here when it does shut off suddenly.
Usually there're NOTAMS to this affect, but that don't turn em back on again!

FWIW -- as I understand it there are 27 GPS satellites; 24 are in
use, 3 are spares. So whichever side of globe you're on, you can get
a good fix. My handheld often 'sees' 6-8.
I have found that they will not receive under thick green leaves
(shouldn't be flying that low!!) or in heavy snow.
This happened to me once in a boat, was a big surprise.
Some time ago a small bizjet flew from Norway to the MBAA meet in
Florida, using nothing but a handheld GPS. Worked fine. They had a
panelful of bigger units but didn't have to use them .
I think if you have problems, it's with the receiver or its
installation; not the GPS satellites.
GPS's are impressive little beasts but do need good installation and
a good view of the sky.

With the Gray Scale screen on the Air map 1000 can can you tell the
difference between
Controlled and uncontrolled fields ...... Given that Magenta & Blue
are close to the same
density I would guess its tough distinguishing one from the other like
you can with a Sectional..
or color screen GPS...
Is this a problem?

Jimmy,
Regarding no more updates, yes, that's what I experienced when I tried to update
my old Garmin 95XL. They said the update was FREE, but it was also the LAST!!
For obvious reasons, the GPS manufacturer's get to a point where they don't
want to invest any time and efforts toward an old and outdated model. Newer models
most certainly receive better, have more features, and ususally include
color displays (and make them more money). And color can really enhance a GPS's
usability, especially in the aviation world, where the displayed picture can
indicate rivers, lakes, mountains, and Special Use Airspace rings. On the very
high-end GPSes, the color can augment safety by showing the terrain that is
a danger to fly toward.
On the finer models of GPS, an overhead view of your position can indicate RED
for the terrain "at & above" you. Obviously, if you continue flying toward
a red area, you will be the main "guest of honor" at a rescue party!
One of the really great things about GPS, is that there are so many models, with
so many functions. Truly, a person can find the best unit to suit his or
her needs. GPS units span the spectrum of display information.
I, for one, don't need a model that displays weather. The kind of flying I do,
I can SEE the weather. John H. says he really likes the "airport information"
available on his Garmain 196., etc., etc.
But, from your question regarding no more updates, one thing is fairly certain,
if a person buys an older model, it's days are definitely numbered to get future
updates.

If you had been left at that, I'd not have taken it that way, but nevertheless
the VG thread became, IIRC, one of the longest threads in the history of the list?
We all, of course, like to verify the other guy fits into his britches, but our
work in that regard generally carries more weight when we still fit in our own
before we begin.
;)
As for pilotage and ded reckoning, I personally have never observed a case where
a pilot who uses that mode as a primary method of navigation disqualifies him
(automatically?) from making informed comments about suitable GPS's to a "newbie".
It would only be in case that pilot had no experience with the GPS, which I don't
think is the case with the original commentator (the Baron?).
But that's just my impression from his comments, he didn't strike me as unqualified
to make those remarks....
If I'm wrong of course, I stand corrected.

Vic, You can also get a cord that can be used to tie it into your EIS
or your fishfinder. Now that's versatility. :-)

| Subject: | Exhaust coatings revisited. |
Kolb guys (and gals),
I just got off the phone with Jerry, the owner of Performance Coatings. I asked
him about his prices and other stuff. Here is what he said;
Prices are still the same for him, he hasn't raised his prices in four years, although
he says he did some checking recently, and has found that his competition
had indeed raised their prices. He apologizes, but says he intends on raising
his prices effective Jan 1, 2008. The cost of all the products keep increasing,
he says.
Next, regarding cermacoating a used item, all he needs is it to be free of grease
and oils. He says wash the item in laquer thinner and get off all the oils.
The rest...old paint, rust, etc., he takes care of, in the liquid hot bath.
As an example of what an item costs to have coated, he says he does the local Rotax
guy's systems for about $50-$75. He has a $50 minimum. I had my stuff done
by him. The results were very good.
For those of you unfamiliar with the advantages of cermacoating, do a Google search
and read up on it. And, as Joe pointed out, it helps lower the temperature
around the outside area of your engine. Check it out.
Oh, and if you do call and talk to Jerry, tell him Mike Welch sent ya. He said
he offers group and club discounts, and I told him I would tell all the Kolb
guys. He said he will offer a discount for the Kolb group.

The 100 and 300 are orphans, although Lowrance gave me a $250 rebate
when I gave them the serial number of my 300. If you want to trade up
you might see if they're still offering rebates and if the 100 is
covered.

Cryptic comment on the need to have terrain info in your GPS. The
sectional for you locale will have that information as well as the
highest obstacle in any given block on the sectonal. If you use that
and a good scan while aviating, what's the need for a chip upgrade.

I have my unit (Airmp 100) wired into the voltage produced by the
engine. It is about 14 volts.
When flying I unbutton the button of my shirt next to my belt and stick
the unit into my shirt.
How do those of you that have newer units with lower voltage hook up
into the internal power of their planes, or do you use battery power,
re-chargable or standard.

Until you make a major change, you are good to go within the limits of
your operating limitations (no flight over densely populated areas
except for t/o &landing, etc etc etc).
Remember, this stuff is driven by politics, not rational thought. This
way the Authorities can tell the unwashed masses that they are always
keeping an eye on your insane behavior.

I can't answer that, but I do know that the 96 is very popular amongst the
hang gliding and paragliding crowd.

| Subject: | Mikuni Carb issue? |
I tried to run my Cuyuna UL II-02 today.
It fired up and squirted fuel out of its 3 float overflows like a perforated garden
hose...quite a mess.
A quick removal of the float bowl revealed stuck floats and a dark goey gunk sticking
the floats down.
After some cleaning with paint thinner the goey gunk is gone and the floats and
overflows behaved and keep all the fuel inside the carb this time.
However the engine keeps dying of fuel starvation when I take it off the choke
and advance the throttle.
The fuel pump is working fine as the fuel is entering the carb under preasure and
the floats are doing their job and preventing fuel overflow now but the engine
only gets enough fuel at idle to keep running off choke.
Sounds like I need tear down every part of the carb and check for gunk in every
orfice.
Anyone have any other ideas or suggestions....I'm new to mikuni carbs.
PS: I Installed a Stratomaster E1 electronic instument that measures my EGT, CHT,
RPM and Hobbs Engine time in one instument.
I'm very pleased as you can set the range and an alarm for measurement.
Very cool and I run it off a small 1lb Nicad rechargable battery.
I also added a Flytec 3005 dual Altimeter and rate of climb instrument and a Dell
Axim x50v with the free XC-Soar software and plugin GPS card for a full moving
map with airspace, airfields, digital terrain model etc for navigation.
My whole instument pack including battery weights about 4 lbs.
I'll have to put some pics up.

What about the PDA moving maps with full digital terrain, airport info etc.
I just put together a moving map system for $125.
Bought a Dell Axim x50v PDA with GPS card on ebay for $125 and put the free XC-Soar
software on it along with the airspace file, airports file, digital terrain
etc.
Truely an great gps/moving map solution for minimal cost, plus I can take it on
the road when Im not using it in the airplane....take notes, do work, browse
the internet, play games etc.
A whole Lotta bang for your buck!
