    Subject: Re: warp drive prop extension
    From: "lucien" <lstavenhagen@hotmail.com>
    Ok thanks all. A warp drive is currently plan B. I'm doing plan A first tho. The electric pitch adjust in my IVO has gone intermittant which makes pitch adjustment, er, kind of impossible to say the least ;). So I'm putting the ground adjust backplate on it rather than try to figure out what's gone wrong with the electric stuff. It wasn't really that lovely to me when it did work, so... It's always been a reasonably OK prop, but I keep remembering how well my warp drive worked on my FSII. So I may end up splurging on a warp drive for this plane too (plus or minus the ol' tax return that is)....

    Subject: Non Kolb Ultralight Crash
    Kolbers, Checking the FAA report for the day, I found an ultralight had crashed at Windham, NH. Using Google and "ultralight Windham, NH", I found plenty of information. The most spectacular information was provided by http://wwww.lowellsun.com as a video made by the woman pilot's son. It is the kind of thing that will put 103-7 at risk. Jack B. Hart FF004 Winchester, IN do not archive

Hart FF004 Jack: Amazing she lived. She was flying a HiMax. Wooden airplanes are not very crashworth. When they hit, they explode. I have seen several crash. Always the same scenario. The pilot usually ends up on the ground with a piece of the wooden seat and seat belt attached to kindling. john h mkIII

    Subject: Ultralights....no training required
    Kolb people=2C The following quote is from the newspaper article regarding the NH women' s second ultralight flight: "According to official FAA regulations=2C no pilot license is required to o perate an ultralight plane." Remains of an ultralight plane rest where it crashed against a house on Har vest Road in Windham=2C N.H. (Sun/Jon Hill) Many non-pilots and some people read that last sentence to say "According to the FAA=2C no pilot license A ND TRAINING is required to operate an ultralight. Having crashed an ultralight myself=2C because I ASSUMED "some" Cessna pi lot training from years ealier was good enough=2C I feel qualified enough t o say that she=2C as was I=2C is a moron. I'm not exactly sure why some of us think proper flight instruction isn't necessary=2C just because the airplane is small. I hope she learned her l esson. I know I learned mine! I hope others that who read this=2C and tried to fly their own plane and cras hed=2C have learned also. Can you fly an ultralight=2C without training=2C and live? Yes=2C some have. I know one guy who did. (He eventually stal led=2C crashed=2C broke his ankle=2C and totalled the plane at Cd'A=2C ID) But=2C is it worth the risk of smashing your plane=2C and broken bones and possibly worse? Not to me=2C anymore!! I plan on proper flight instruction before taking all my hard work into t he air. Just my thoughts on the matter.......

    I hate it when the FAA prelim site uses the term "unregistered ultralight". If they were registered then they would not be ultralights, right? And these are the people that govern us...

    Could someone please give me a ballpark number on what the useful load should be on a Mark III C with a 582 and standard configuration? Thanks! Keath T Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=230947#230947

    Subject: new photos on facebook
    http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid 10836&id=1002056194&l=03915 I posted a few more photos on facebook this evening. I decided to burn a bit more gas in the HKS since the weather warmed up above 40 degrees and the wind died, so I took my camera along and took a 360 video that I also uploaded to face book, but I cannot find a link to it that will allow a non face book member to see it. I did post some still pictures of the area however. I shot the video at the highest setting on the little camera, (a Fuji z20, a small compact pocket camera) and I was fairly impressed with the quality. If I can figure out how to get a link for it I will post it later. The large shadow areas caused by the clouds screw with the pictures a bit, but if you notice there are three total houses in any of the pictures. I decided to fly up to the bottom of the clouds that were drifting overhead, and ran the engine as hard as I could allowing the CHT's to control my throttle setting. At almost 9000 feet the OAT was 24 degrees and I could run the engine at 5800 RPM's without overheating. Larry C, Oregon
