The information about the runway numbering I took out of the " Utah State
Airport Directory" published by 'Utah State' "Division of Aeronautical
Operations" it is clearly marked 16/34. crossed checked airnav.com to
confirm.

MV, UT25, is 16/34.
I didn't pay much attention to the RB painted on the runway so can not
remember if it was on 16 or 34, or both.
I mention this only for clarification. If I don't I am apt to remember the
last thing I saw written on the MV runway and think it is 17/35. ;-)

Two more days and a "wake up" and I am on my way to check out the runway
headings for myself.
This will be the first chance to get some good fuel burn numbers since I
raised the fuel needles a notch and repitched the Warp Drive Prop.
I am sitting on the fence, whether to put the needles back in their stock
position, middle slot, to see if it will run ok, or leave them on the rich
side. The reason I raised them was lean condition in stock position last
winter, discovered when making mag check at 4000 rpm. One side would drop
beyond limits. When I pulled on the enricher at 4000, rpm would increase
200 to 300. Primary concern is excessive fuel burn. However, the 912ULS is
running like a clock. I am happy with the performance. I think I will
leave it alone, get a good fuel burn check on the flight to MV, then make a
decision on what to do. Another factor to change is the altitudes we will
be working in once in West Texas and beyond.
100LL is 4.24 a gal at Wetumpka Airport, a few cents more than 93 oct laced
with 10% alcohol. I have decided not to try and save a few dollars burning
alcohol and top off at the airport on the way out of town next Tue morning.
I'll carry three qts of Marvel Mystery Oil to help purge some of the lead.
That's enough for 240 to 300 gals, which about what I will burn this trip.

I changed the incidence of the wings to eliminate the stick pressure
but then the ailerons in relation to the flaps were no longer in a
straight line>>
Hi Boyd,
Haven`t been able to get the extra pair of hands I need to do the wing
attachment change and it will have to wait to Monday now. Pity as today
has been absolutely windless, with a reasonable cloudbase increasing as
the day went on. Tonight we have had the first BBQ of the summer. The
evening is perfectly quiet, the birds singing so I have consoled myself
with curried chicken on the barbie and a rather nice Pinot Grigio.
I had realised that changing the wing attachments would slightly alter
the aileron settings but I will cross that bridge when I come to it.
Lets see how it flies next week. The Wx is good for the next few days.
Thanks for your input. I have printed it out and added it to the many
other suggestions from the list.
Cheers
Pat

John W.- Thanks. At this point, I think the plane is an Original Firestar, but
with chopped wings to meet 103 specs. Maybe, as somebody indicated, designed
this way. The original wingspan was about 25' 4". I added the later KX wings.
At least I think they're KX. Nobody's come up with documentation for the short
main tube yet. I will measure the original main spar tube- I'm not sure if it's
5" or 6". I also have a serial number on the engine, but that will have to
wait for a trip to the airport.

Thanks everyone for the info. Another question - what do they have for
tie downs at MV? Are there plenty of anchors in the ground or do I need
to bring something?
