    Balloonists bring along a bottle of champagne>> I have had to land out two or three times and have always made it a point to take the farmer a couple of bottles of wine or a bottle of whisky. I have after all dropped in on them uninvited. Perhaps its just a left over response from gliding days where, bearing in mind that if farmers got really nasty and made trouble every time a glider landed out they could more or less stop x-country glidung in its tracks. The gliding club made any local farmer who was interested an honorary member and offered them a flight whenever they showed up at the field. Just good public relations. Cheers Pat

    Subject: HACman system
    I pulled my plugs to see how they looked after flying the HACman system for three hours or so at the higher EGT readings. These plugs now have 50 hours on them, and couldn't look better. I just uploaded a new entry to my blog with a short video on the flight that I made this morning. Not as long as I would have like as the weather was a bit cranky. Larry

    From: Richard Girard <aslsa.rng@gmail.com>
    Daniel, I've had to do this on my Firestar and a few other aircraft so if you want a quick primer, I'll give it a shot. It helps to have a helper to record values and read the tape when you set the pilot's position. One assumption here is that your Firestar has a 2 stroke engine so there is no oil weight variable. 1. Get the aircraft in position. For a Kolb, prop up the tail wheel unti l the bottom of the wing is at 9 degrees. 2. I don't like to work with negative numbers so I set zero datum by dropping a plumb line from the front of the nose cone. 3. Run a tape measure from the zero datum to at least the contact point of the tail wheel 4. Now start dropping plumb lines. You need the pilot station (your nave l when seated in the aircraft as you would be while flying, the contact po int of the main gear, the leading and trailing edge of the wing, the center of the fuel tank and the contact point of the tailwheel. 5. Weigh the aircraft in position. 6. Calculate the datum for the 18, 25 and 35% chord position. 7. Use heaviest pilot wt. say 270 lb, and 1/2 gallon of fuel as the most fwd cg condition. it should come out at or aft of the 18% point. 8. Use lightest pilot wt. say 150 lb. and full fuel as the most aft cg condition. It should fall at or fwd of the 35% point. Well that's how I did it and the FAA rep or the DAR never questioned my data.
