This makes sure the exhaust ports line up square with the exhaust manifold giving the best seal.

Its probably a good thing you forgot to reset the mixture, it turned out perfect and given this experience, you probably wont be doing it again ! A lesson learned with no bad outcome, not a way to go. As far as the music in your videos, YouTube and Warner Music Group had a nasty dispute over copyright and could not come to an agreement, so YouTube is forced to block music that falls under Warner Music Group. Other music companies see the value of having their music played on YouTube and allow it, so that is why some music is blocked while other music is not. Here is a list of Artists that are owned by Warner Music Group, find music that is not on this list and you will find that it works. Nice videos, glad you got them produced and your flight ended safely. Mike -------- "NO FEAR" - If you have no fear you did not go as fast as you could have !!!

Actually fitted it about 3 weeks ago but no opportunity to fly until last night. Strongish wind so did several runs in different direction to try and get a mean airspeed reading which was something like the GPS display. Seems to have worked reasonably well. Not spot on but good enough for government work. Always fly finals by the seat of my pants anyway. Thanks Pat ________________________________ Message 8 _____________________________________ Time: 11:20:00 AM PST US From: "pj.ladd" Subject: Kolb-List: report Not strictly Kolb but there is a clip on youtube of Chris Saysell pylon racing in a weightshift. Pretty exciting. Chris and Rob Grimwood took microlight flexwing title at the World Air Games in Italy. Another Brit couple took second, beating the opposition by 20 seconds. Last weekend was the centenary of Bleriots flight across the Channel from Calais to Dover. Last weekend there was a re enactment involving several Bleriot monoplane replicas and 300 microlights. About 170 were Brits who flew to France on Thursday and Friday and flew back in a cavalcade on Saturday. The rest were French and Belgians. There was also a parade of veteran a/c. I drove to Dover for the event and although it would have been better to have had a grand parade of micros at under a 1000ft flying along the waterfront en masse it was not too bad spaced out over 2 hours. The Lancaster from the Battle of Britain Flight did several very low passes over the field and the town. I also chatted to a Lancaster pilot who was shot down over Berlin on a Pathfinder mission. He is now well into his eighties and is trying to get his pilots license again. I talked to him about the advantages of microlights(ultralights) over light aircraft and I reckon he will go for it. A game old veteran! Just thought you might be interested. If you are not there is always the delete button.

I still must use an ASI, primarily when shooting approaches. Helps me keep a margin of safe airspeed above stall in an environment of air I can not s ee.

I'm in the final stages of my Slingshot build. Would've loved to seen your new bird. I need to look at someone's finished plane. We've got a Fly-in breakfast on Labor Day. Free pancakes, eggs and ham to any Kolbers. Maybe you'll come down?
