Thank you for the picture George. The more I think about it the more I think perhaps
me and my friends remembered incorrectly. I wrote down everything I did
as I took everything apart and laid things out in order as I took them apart,
but when I took this piece apart it drew a lot of attention and I believe things
may have gotten out of order (physically and in our minds). From now on
I'll be taking pictures before I take things apart. :)
I have a friend of a friend welding it for me since I don't weld. I'm sure he'll
do a good job.
Thanks for everyone's input and help. Again if anyone has used those barry mounts
please let me know how it goes and what type/size should be used. Otherwise
I suppose I'll go with the male/female rubber bushings I found in the CPS catalogue
(with the backing washers).
It may be time to replace my muffler springs as well. They are looking pretty
rusty and I saw in the CPS catalogue where it says to replace them every 75 hours
(Mark II manual says 100 hrs). My engine has almost 70 hours on it (don't
know how old the muffler or springs are however). That doesn't look like an
easy job. Maybe I should wait until after my Rotax class in a couple weeks to
tackle that. I don't know how much anti-seize to put on the joint or where exactly.
I don't suppose I'll be making it to that Ashburn fly-in this weekend. :(

I do not recall seeing any requirements in the FAR/AIM regarding having a current
chart and AFD when flying cross country. I am planning on making the short
hop over to Ashburn to the fire ant festival on the 28th.
I just want to be legal just in case someone is checking. I have an old chart
that went out of date 6 months ago and an old AFD from September 08.
In my area things pretty much stay the same so I don't see a need to update that
often.

My understanding to be current for cross country VFR flights is either a
current sectional or a current Jeppesen Data Base in your GPS.
If you have an outdated sectional in the cockpit, then have a current
Jeppesen Data Base.
If the current Jeppesen Data Base is outdated, then have a current
sectional.
All my sectional charts are outdated, so I keep the Jeppesen Data Base
current in my GPS.
Currency is important. Over the years I flew into two airports that were
indicated as uncontrolled fields on my outdated charts, when in fact they
had been changed over to tower controlled fields. Greenwood, MS, was one.
The other was Galveston, TX. I was flying my FS when I went into Greenwood
about 5 minutes before time for the tower to close at 1800. Tower operator
was kind enough to come down to the ramp to chat with me. Tower had
recently been opened. Galveston was another story. There were four of us
in that flight. John W was leading. We had checked NOTAMS, which did not
include recent opening of the tower. John W went up to the tower to talk to
the operators. We were not bound and gagged, and hauled off the jail, but
continued our flight low level down the beach to Mexico.
Probably clear as mud, but I have only had one cup of coffee so far this
morning.

Grant=2C
A person takes a mighty big gamble flying cross-country with old charts.
Example: When I was on my "long distance cross-country" several years ag
o=2C for my private pilot license=2C I used old charts to plot a 300+ mile
course=2C dropping in on various northern California airports.
Imagine my surprise=2C when I did an airport fly-over=2C prior to landing
=2C and saw bulldozers=2C and graders on Nevada County Airport. (they were
extending the runway)
So there I was=2C 1500' AGL=2C can't land=2C and fully unprepared to fly
toward some unscheduled airport (and this was a scheduled fuel stop for me)
. Very sobering for a very low time pilot. Thankfully=2C I used to live n
ear this airport=2C and I knew the proper highway to follow that would lead
me to Auburn Airport 17 miles away. I landed there=2C and said I'll NEVER
ASSUME that all the airports ahead of me are just waiting for my arrival.
This was a big learning lesson for me!!
Said all that to say this!! Not only should you have current charts=2C b
ut you should also check the NOTAMs for your intended route. To say "thing
s stay pretty much the same" is a hellava big assumption. What happens if
you're wrong?
What if the airport a person planned on stopping for fuel is having their
fuel pumps replaced that day? What if the runway is being seal-coated=2C
and closed for the day? There can be all kinds of reasons that ruin your d
ay=2C and they don't all have to be catastrophic=2C some may be just inconv
enient.
For safe flying=2C with less worrying=2C be prepared! A proper flight pl
an=2C with current information=2C allows you to enjoy the cross-country fli
ght as it should be....a fantastic event-free flight!!
Just my thoughts.....

Cristal, On the muffler joint, clean it with lacquer thinner and apply a thin
coating of anti-seize compound, on each side of the joint. It's easy to install
the springs. Just don't use any pliers when putting them in. Hook one end of
the spring to the muffler and hook the other end with a small screwdriver and
pull it over the other muffler hook. Using pliers can create stress points on
the brittle spring steel and it can cause it to break. After the springs are
installed, be sure and use safety wire between the muffler hooks. After that,
clean the springs with lacquer thinner (to get rid of the oil on the outside)
and apply two beads of the red high temp gasket sealer along the side of each
spring.

The muffler springs can be easily replaced but it's crucial that you use the right
tool. Never use pliers - they gouge the spring, increasing the likelihood
of future breakage.
A tool is easy to make, tho. A piece of safety wire in a loop with the ends attached
to a screwdriver or other metal rod (something strong that's easy to grip)
works fine (I got em kind of all over the place in the hangar still).
You can then thread the loop into the hook of the spring and pull, easily popping
the spring off. Same with installation - put the loop in the hook and pull
the sucker over the fitting on the muffler.
As for anti-sieze, put a thin film around the area on the elbows where they make
contact. You don't need much, a very thin film on both surfaces is all you need.
Once heated, the stuff will boil off but a kind of dust will remain and act
like a lubricant. Stays there quite a while, I've seen the lubricant dust still
there after 100 hours in some cases. So a good interval is every 50 to 75
hours I'd say.

| Subject: | Aero Electric Connection CD |
Folks,
I contributed to the Kolb list and signed up for a bonus Aero Electric
Connection DVD. After receiving an apology from Matronics about taking
so long, it finally arrived.
Breathless, I rushed to my DVD player, put it in the drawer and hit
play... only to discover what is behind the Aero Electric Connection
label is an audio narrative of Thomas Paine's _Common Sense_. Although
it was written in 1776, it is certainly applicable even today.
But it doesn't help me with adding a strobe, etc., on my FireFly.
Has anyone else had the same experience; or does anyone know how to get
a response to a question from the list's administration? I've tried on
a couple of occasions about a couple of things and, except for donating,
have never been successful connecting with them.
A safe and fun flying season to all!! (And for rainy days, you might
want to pick up a copy of _Common Sense_ and enjoy that.)

It seems obvious, but many people seem to forget that with a pusher
aircraft, ANYTHING that gets loose will go thru the prop. And usually
cause some damage. Replace anything that looks iffy, no matter how
many hours it has.
You can hardly go wrong with anti-seize; simply put it on threads
or mating surfaces, just enough to coat the surfaces. Any excess will
just paint a stripe on your prop, if you don't wipe it off.

Just ordered the rubber bushings from Travis at Kolb (he's so nice). Gonna pick
up my muffler from the friend who welded it for me tonight.
Talked to Ronnie Smith at South MS Light Aircraft and he said it would be ok to
bring my muffler along to the Rotax class I'm taking the weekend after next and
we'll change out the springs right there in his shop.

Hey John H, et all,
I didn't know I could do that. I thought you were just trailing in formation,
holding back. You and John W always stuck me out front so you could hang back,
laugh, and keep a good eye on me. Probably would have been different if I didn't
have the home field advantage. I wasn't loaded down with my traveling gear,
toothbrush, and such. Ms P'fer also carries some extra ounces in some of Brother
Jim's tweaks.
I do like the 912UL for the fuel burn and the little lower octane required. Was
really liked it last summer when gas went sky high. A lot of days, I was the
only plane flying around Baton Rouge. You S guys can out run me, but you have
to burn a bit more fuel to do it. Might be interesting to compare our fuel
bills on our long runs in May. I'll probably lag behind by a handful of minutes
getting to our destinations but you will take a few more seconds (gallons)
to top off. At least you'll be first in line for the restroom. [Twisted Evil]
I might feel so guilty that I'll buy you a soda or something.
Bruce C and I are trying to get things in order for mid-May. He had to make a
second tank. I finished a couple of fabric repairs on the right wing and flew
this am. Landing to the NE at Nauga is a lot easier with those trees gone.
Waiting on power company to put up powerline markers. Big orange balls, like
a real airport!
We are planning on making some overnight dry-runs to check our gear out before
we head west. May come visit you guys around Montgomery. come visit if you get
the notion.
C-ya soon. Everybody stay safe while having so much fun.

Folks:
Meet John B, the new flight lead for our flight to MV, the Rock House, and
other far flung parts of the world. ;-)
Better watch out now. I talked to Daryl at Warp Drive this morning. We
were going to recondition my blades, but I asked him for new 72" blades
instead. Now you gonna really see old Miss P'fer climb her heart out with
the big prop. It will be somewhat noisier, but will climb and cruise a
little better. Adding an inch to the tiny taper tips doesn't make much
difference in weight, but it does in performance.

You'll never look back and wonder if a spring is going to go thru the
prop (well, at least for pushers). A bit pricy but well worth the
expense. I've had two for several years.
