Hickory Farms is clearing out their holiday overstock with many gift sets 75% off with an additional 15% off with the source code: 849358. In addition to that they offer FREE shipping to military APO addresses. www.hickoryfarms.com
My cousin is at a little FOB in the mountains of Afghanistan on a 15 month tour
and if some of you would could send some goodies his way, I'm sure it would be
greatly appreciated. I was over in Afghanistan for 15 months myself and MRE's
and Army food get old mighty quickly. My parents sent me some summer sausage
and cheese and it was a delightful luxury. If any of you could spare an extra
$5 or $10 it would go a long way in bringing a taste of home to a bunch of soldiers

| Subject: | Re: Crab vs sideslip crosswing landing |
I have a Firestar II and am a low time pilot. 70 hours in my plane since I got
it six months ago.
I was flying into Casa Grande AZ with a Challenger II flown by my instructor.
Awos reported winds of 17 with gust to 23. The wind was about 40 degrees off the
runway alignment.
The Challenger landed first and I could see how much his left wing was low.
I came in about 20 over stall speed in a side slip, touched down on the left wheel
and started giving more rudder as I slowed, (I was playing with my E6-B one
day and saw the crosswind component increase as speed slowed)
All was good. The Aeronca that came in a little later had a tough go of it but
survived.
The key for me seemed to be wheel landings, and just fly it to the ground.
If things get worse I have differential braking. I also had a 120 pound passenger
in the plane with me.
I don't think I was at my limit but the event had my full attention.
The first time I landed like this it was bounce along on the right main a
few times then start essing all over the runway and barely stay on it.

the owner who has an airstrip behind his
house doesn't want to be bothered with a bunch of people flying in and
out.
Hi Dana,
thats reasonable. there are very few people here with enough land for
a strip unless they are farmers. The farming mafia flit happily around
and seem to know where all the little strips are tucked away. We have
one PPR strip on an island out in the Bristol Channel. They have a very
rough strip and when you ring up they go out and move the sheep and open
the gate in the wall you have to fly through on the approach.
In Australia where they have some BIG spreads some pilots never got a
license as they argued that they only flew over their own land. They
learned to fly from Pappy about the time they learned to drive a car.
The authorities seemed content to let it go as there were not that many
but then they found that that they were doing x-countries on the basis
that they were always flying over there own land or that of their
friends. That stopped it. Probably
Cheers
Pat

I believe this thread started with Roger making his flying pictures
available to others on this list without overloading their limited
ability to view them. I assure you that it is very unlikely that you
will ever see the areas or scenery that he made available for you to
view, assuming that you wanted to view them of course. You need to get a
sun lamp, the English weather has apparently soured your oatmeal, or

| Subject: | Acceptable CQ range for a Slingshot |
My first flight with my Kolb Slingshot is coming this summer. I have an
HKS700E engine (4 stroke, 60 hp). I would like to make sure my CQ is
safe for the first flight. I know what my plans say is the acceptable
range (20 - 37% mean aerodynamic chord), and I also just attended the
EAA's workshop for safely testing flying your project, and I know what
they define as an acceptable range (18 - 34% Mean aerodynamic chord). I
would like to get actual data points of where people safely fly their
Kolb aircraft. In particular I would like to get Kolb aircraft type,
your actual flying CG location in inches from the leading edge of the
wing, and the distance from your wing leading edge to the trailing edge
of your ailerons in inches. From these numbers I will be able to get a
really good idea of where the CQ is in terms of % of Mean Aerodynamic
chord, and this will make the data from the other Kolb types meaningful.
Also, if you did a careful flight test program in your Kolb with
different CQ's, I would like to hear what you thought the acceptable
range was for your Kolb, and which location you liked best. My aircraft
is currently set up to be near the back end of the EAA general aircraft
range, and I have heard a CQ that is pretty aft in the range is fairly
typical for Kolb's. I am well aware the aft limit is death if you
exceed it, and this is why I want to know the aft limit you thought was
safe. Thanks so much for your input.

Granted. However, if you're already on Facebook, and your friends are on
Facebook, then it's not a -terrible- place to put them, and you can make the
photos public, too. Differ'nt' strokes for differ'n't folks.
MySpace is primarily teenyboppers, but Facebook has an amazing following of
adults as well as college kids. I got on it initially to keep track of my
college kids. I'm glad I did, because, without it, I'd rarely hear from
them... with Facebook, I can see what they are up to, without being
intrusive and bugging them all the time. Plus, they can see when I'm flying
via the status...! (See, I got a Kolb-related element in there!) :-)

Sounds like Alaska, where I'm told the FAA has a goal of 2010 to get 40% of

I have some idea's on how to change the ratio on the brake cylinders and
when done I will post, with pictures. I don't really think it will be to hard,
since I had to do this on another aircraft I buildt back in 1993. I'm going
to try and make it so others will be able to adapt easily.

| Subject: | Acceptable CQ range for a Slingshot |
Hi,
You apparently aren't getting too many responses to your question. I
imagine that can be attributed to caution rather than non interest. I
knew that Jerry had put a HKS on a Slingshot, but I never knew whose it
was. I am surprised that you haven't flown it yet. I would like to get
a bit more background on the installation and the plane. Have you flown
the airplane with any other engine on the plane?
I have a Firestar II that has had a 447- a 503 and now a HKS. Quite
frankly I can find no real down side to the engine as far as the flying
goes. Other than I am having a bit more CHT than I am currently
comfortable with. I have a very (at least to my mind) heavy Firestar. I
am not real sure if my figures are correct on the weight, but the W&B
has actually moved forward with the addition of the HKS. With the 503 on
it the W&B was pretty far to the rear. As it sits now I am showing the
most forward CG would be 22 percent or 14.14 inches and the most aft
23.6 percent or 15.1 inches of wing chord. I have flown mine, and there
is no change in the handling of the plane from then to now.
I spoke to a friend of mine about the difference in W&B with the two
engines, and he mentions that the HKS even though it weighs about 30 lbs
more that a 503, the weight is more towards the CG than it is with the
503. For instance the oil tank is just behind the rear seat, both
pistons are side by side and also a bit more forward than on a 503 the
muffler is ahead of the CG as well as the oil cooler. So keeping that in
mind, even though you are adding more weight, it is not necessarily aft
of the CG, so you may well be a lot more forward than you would think.

I'm glad you are going to come up with a solution for the Matco Master cylinders
also, even though the Obrien brakes are to small for the MK III Xtra, it would
be nice if I did not have to press the pedals so hard to get normal braking.
It is very easy for me to get the Obrien brakes on my Kolb so hot that they fade
at the end of a long taxi on pavement, leaving me almost no braking at all.

Why reinvent the brake peddles. Paul Petty had a set that has more ratio in
his Kolbra. He posted photos that are likely in the archives. Seems like
there was even a video. If I remember correctly Mark German develop the
brake peddles and may have made a copy for Paul. The guys that now own one
of their planes are on the list.
