I have been lurking here for years. Please don't use the old
gas for fire starter. It is extremely dangerous. The fumes spread and
cause a small explosion. The fire can leap back up the stream and cause
you to drop or throw the flaming container.
Do not archive.

weigh-in.
The old gas is going to be used to light charcoal- the contamination
is so bad I can't even use it in the lawnmower.

Carl, NEVER pour gas from a container onto a flame! I thought
everybody knew that. Pour some in a small cup & toss that onto the
fire if you must.
Shouldn't have to use an accelerant with charcoal, anyway. Remember
those fumes will go into your food.

Carl- Congenital pyromania runs in the family. The trick is to use a small container,
soak well, and ignite from up-wind at a distance. A friend of mine does
do it the wrong way- 5 gallon minimum, then go back in the house to look for
a match. Pretty spectacular, with stumps going higher than his barn.

| Subject: | Nauga Field Fly Around - Starhill, LA July 11, 12, 13 |
Two weeks ago I didn't think I would be sending this announcement. This event
was started last year when John Williamson and John Hauck called me from Homer's
and said they will be here the second weekend in July. I had seriously considered
canceling the Fly-Around this year. It just wouldn't be the same without
John W and it won't be the same. However, after a few notes back and forth
with John H and a few other folks, I was convinced that the one thing that would
aggravate and disappoint John Williamson would be for us not to do what he
loved most.
So the Nauga Field Fly-Around is on. It will be held July 11th, 12th and 13th.
Nauga Field (LS35) is located ~ 15 nm north of Baton Rouge, LA in the wonderful
community of Starhill, LA.
http://www.airnav.com/airport/LS35
FAA Identifier: LS35
Lat/Long: 30-45-45.1000N / 091-16-38.1000W
30-45.751667N / 091-16.635000W
30.7625278 / -91.2772500
(estimated)
Elevation: 38 ft. / 12 m (estimated)
>From city: 5 miles E of ST FRANCISVILLE, LA
Nauga Field is a short grass strip with obstacles (trees) at both ends. Kolbs can
handle this fine, but not much else. If you are not proficient at short field
landings over obstacles then Nauga Field will be very intimidating. The runway
is 1550 ft tree line to tree line. Thresholds are displaced 450 ft from
both ends. You can use what you can get down to.
In July, the density altitude will be at least 2000 feet due to the heat and humidity.
No two person operation because of that. David Key can verify this if
you need. If you plan on flying in and are not used to short grass strips,
please practice or don't fly in for your safety and ours.
There is a camp/FBO. Showers and serious restroom facilities are available across
the road at the Starhill Fire Station.
Camping is the preferred option. It will be hot.
We'll provide most of the groceries.
Friday Lunch - cold cut sandwiches (maybe chicken/sausage gumbo)
Supper - red beans & rice w/ sausage & cornbread (John H)
Satuday
Breakfast
Lunch - fly to False River (HZR) for EAA chapter 244 fish fry
Supper - hope to have wild pig feast
Sunday
Breakfast stuff
Lunch if you need it and haven't departed.
You won't go hungry. We don't charge. There is a tip/donation jar only. Give
as you deem appropriate.
Saturday evening we'll try to have the shortest landing contest. John H won last
year by landing with his brakes locked (wet grass).
This is a Fly Around. The main entertainment is flying our Kolbs.
Let me know if you plan on attending so we can plan the menus and groceries. Also,
if there is enough interest, there will be T-shirts. So include your shirt
size.
We had a blast year even with marginal weather at times. Come pass a good time!

Thanks too much,

Hi Folks:
As John B said, "Come pass a good time!!!"
This is Cajun Country, Nauga Field, Starhill, LA. We did have a great time
last year, despite record amounts of good ole Louisiana, heat, and skeeters.
The local folks at Starhill are determined to make all the people that fly
in as welcome, comfortable, and fed as possible.
I agree with John B, John W would be put out if we were to cancel out
because of John W's unexpected departure. This is what John W and the rest
of us little airplane pilots love to do, fly somewhere, meet up with out
fellow pilots and friends, and have some fun.
Put me down as the first to let you know I will be there.
I wear a size large T-Shirt. I am mighty proud of last year's T-Shirt.
I am also extremely proud of receiving the first ever Nauga Trophy for
winning the Short Field Landing contest. If we have a nuther one, better
watch out..........
I firmly believe if Ronnie Morgan knows we are coming, he'll go out and
catch a wild hawg for Saturday night supper. ;-)

That is great Steven. Hope the weather cooperates. Bring James T along with you

equipment. Won't have to use vacation????
Guessing XL on T-shirt.
Look forward to seeing you and putting you up Starhill style. Coome onnnn! You

I got an interesting e-mail out of the blue the other day. Here it is:
Roger:
We noticed your posting in April and were sorry to see that you could not use the
BR8ES spark plugs you ordered in May 2006. We checked to see if we could find
the e-mail you sent providing the NGK part numbers for the solid top plugs,
but so far we have not been able to retrieve the message in the archives. We
show that we received e-mails from you in November 2006 and January 2007. I do
not know why your e-mail about the plugs was not answered but I do apologize
for this oversight.
Can you provide the information you sent in the e-mail regarding these plugs, as
we certainly would like to stock the version of the plugs which is better for
aircraft applications. The statement we have about the NGK plugs being for non-aviation
uses was put there at the demand of our supplier; we could not get
the plugs from them without this disclaimer. If we can get more information on
the solid top plugs and correct part numbers from you, we will work on finding
a supplier for these plugs.
Thanks for any information you can provide on the plugs; it will be much appreciated.
Best Regards,
Jim Irwin
President, Aircraft Spruce
Here is what I sent back and the reply:
Jim,
Thanks for revisiting this subject. You wont find an e-mail, I submitted my comments
in the feedback box in the customer service area of your website. Im sorry
if my post was misleading in that manner (I will post a correction). As
far as I can tell from the NGK website, part numbers for solid and screw top plugs
are identical, but the stock numbers are different. The NGK stock number
for the B8ES solid top plugs is 3683. The stock number for the BR8ES solid top
plug is 3961. I have been buying mine from sparkplugs.com. Their part number
is the plug number followed by the word solid, as in BR8ES Solid.
I hope this helps,
Roger

The reply:
Roger:
Thanks for the additional information on the solid top NGK spark plugs. We have
been chasing these down for the past week or so and should have them in stock
soon. We appreciate your help.....have a great weekend!
Regards,
Jim Irwin
