Thanks, John, and Gary,
We're not in a hurry, but I appreciate the info.
Gary, those ear buds must be pretty dense foam to passively reduce noise by 40db.
We'll try the DRE's for now, and keep the Clarity Aloft in mind.
Dave

Hi All,
Someone asked me for a copy of the video which was made when I flew the
Mustang but I have deleted the message.
I have managed to get this transferred from video tape to DVD and will
send it if I can have your snail mail address.
I had problems transferring the original tape into the format used in
Europe.
I do not know about transferring to different formats with DVD but I
suspect it can be done. Some DVD players will play all formats.
Contact me.
Pat

Thats awesome John, maybe someone on the trip will have a laptop so you
guys can post photos. Don't forget, you can never take to many
pictures ! How long have you been flying your MK III C, did you build
it, and how many hours on it now ?

gross wt?
Yup,Russ
thats the one.
Mine is limited to 950 lbs gross. as will all Xtra`s built here. To fix
the weight to which the plane must be built there is a standard
allowance for fuel and 2 crew. The maximum for ANY a/c to qualify as a
`microlight` is 992lbs. Over that and you are a Very Light Aircraft
with entirely different rules.
Unfortunately you cannot take any design and build it to the 992lb
limit, other considerations come into play such as wing loading and
stalling speed. That is why I am only allowed 950 and not 992. and also
why I needed the vortex generators to get my stalling speed down to the
line.

We hear about a lot of needless accidents and incidents in the airlines, really
dumb mistakes made by good and experienced pilots. We are all human, and circumstances
can happen that would draw any pilot into an accident, no one is immune.
Just be conservative, remember you are flying for fun, and listen to
that little voice inside you when it is saying " This is not right "... If you
feel something is wrong, weather, etc , even though you don't quite know why,
stay on the ground until conditions are better.
I wish I was flying with you guys, you will have a blast ! I have been following
Artys flight every day, life just does not get any better than going cross
country in a small airplane :) I saw you picture at the airport where the wind
was 160 at 12 gusting to 17, those are very challenging conditions, if you
are flying in that, you are doing great. Those conditions would have me on the
ground.
Knocking it into trim hahahaha, that is hilarious ! Your story will be a great
motivation for those that get into accidents early on to hang in there and
rebuild. Do you have a digital camera ? If not I have a small one that takes
AA batteries that you can use on the trip if you like, just send it back when
you finish. A trip like that will be an incredible experience, I wish I had
pictures from much of my early flying before the days of digital cameras.
I will be following your blog, fly safe and have fun.
Mike

thanks mike,
> I saw you picture at the airport where the wind was 160 at 12 gusting to 17,
those are very challenging conditions, if you are flying in that, you are doing
great. Those conditions would have me on the ground.
I had settled into a pattern of smooth air flying. Since the beginning of the
year I have been pushing my wind tolerance up in preparation for this trip. It
has been a challenge but I'm better at it now and not scared to death. Took
some practice. It would be hard to get anywhere if you wait for only light winds!
Got fooled by a crosswind gust in Rockford, TN. Windsock was blocked due
to construction and I assumed. I was one wheeling it for a bit and plane was
flying me. Been in a little worst than that but that is getting close to the
limit.
> Do you have a digital camera ?
Yep, not that good at it. Gotta take at least ten pictures to get one good one.
I'll snap away and share the ones that are keepers.
7 days and we're off (weather permitting)!

Rick,
Have you seen that Slide Carb thing for the VW Aerovee engine ? What do you think
about the slide carb as opposed to a traditional carb ? Also, which company
has the most reliable VW conversion ? I see they are selling Nikasil cylinders,
they are lighter, are they a good idea ?
Mike

I really don't know anything about the aerovee slide carb. Seems like I
heard Steve Bennet at Great Plains talk about that type of Carb and he
wasn't impressed. I think the best carb for redrive VWs is the progressive
webber. They aren't inflight adjustable but are very tunable and efficient.
I would think the best VW engine builder is Great Plains for the redrive
engines. Again talking to Steve Bennet the Nikasil cylinders are ten pounds
lighter than the cast iron cylinders and transfers four times the heat. They
are a whopping $600 for a set of pistons, rings, and cylinders or three
times the cast iron set, but well worth the cost. I wish they had been
available when I rebuilt my engine.
