Great photos, Gene. Thanks for posting.
Can you tell me with some precision where the photo 37/38 was taken? That is an
interesting looking place and I think I've been there but don't recall exactly
where it is. Perhaps a screen shot of a google map with the point located would
be easiest way to relate its location.

Bill,
Yup, That's the Susquehanna north of Harrisburg Pa.
Dennis lives just a fewl miles east of Millersburg Pa. which is right
by the river.

George,
You're welcome.
Since we never anticipating the response we got from Dennis's good
neighbors, Willie regretfully brought no candy along on this trip.
But you can be sure the next time there will an energetic candy
scramble.
What we discovered after we landed on the rural road was the little
Amish parochial school just up the road.
As you observed, some of Dennis' neighbors though quite
"traditional" are also quite "technologically" contemporary, but as
far as I know they have not yet utilized
any of Dennis's flying machine technology.
; -)

Things seem a slow on the list so I thought I'd share a few picts from
a recent trip Candy man Willie Z. and I took to drop in and say Hi to
Dennis, and Yvonne Souder,

I,m making a wind screen and need some help. .080 lexan when
attatching to a 5/8 tube.
Should I use screws with a coushin between the tube and the lexan? Or
is it OK to just
pop rivet it to the tube? Thanks for any advice

I used flathead rivnuts and screws on mine, that way you can replace it with ease,
nothing in between and had no cracking or other problems.

Frank,
First, make your holes in the screen considerably larger than the diameter
of the fastener you intent to use.
Second, chamfer the holes you drilled, both sides, to avoid cracks
starting to form from the holes.
I would use sheet metal screws as fasteners with a washer. You have better
control of the tightness.
And last, do practice on some scraps first, to get the hang of things.
Be happy you have Lexan to work with, for it is a lot more forgiving than
in the old Plexiglass days, when cracks showed up even by the next day.

Subject: | Autumn flight in Kansas |
After the chickens and guineas were loosed, the dog walked, and the second
cup of coffee, I hit the hangar determined to get two projects done. One,
build a camera mount to go on the top of the left strut and, two, tuft up
the left side of the fuselage and go fly around and film the tufts. The
camera mount was pretty straight forward, just a couple of pieces of
aluminum angle and a few holes. Tufting up the fuselage didn't take long and
by the time I had Zulu Delta all fueled and ready it occurred to me that my
neighbor, John, had asked me about how the Kolb landed with flaps. Seemed
like a great way to get him to take a few pictures so I did a half flap take
off and landing then a full flap landing after which I departed the pattern
to go see if my first attempt at aerial videography would net me anything.
The little Nikon did great although the contrast when the camera was in the
shade and I was backlighted was a bit too much to ask.
The tuft study was done at airspeeds from 62 to 84 mph and confirmed what I
suspected. The sides aft of the pilot on the Mk IIIC are pretty much
stagnated or otherwise disturbed. only the most aft tufts showed straight
flow going into the prop. In the middle of the panel all the tufts point
upward at ever increasing angles as speed increases. Those just behind the
widest point of the fuselage are very disturbed. The two upper ones got
entangled almost immediately and stayed that way throughout the flight
regardless of speed. The most curious was the lowest tuft in the second row
aft. It pointed forward no matter the speed while both the ones immediately
forward and aft of it were pointing aft and up.
Now I have to learn to use Movie Maker so I can cut the video down and add
titles for each of the speed ranges. As soon as I have it ready I'll post it
on You Tube.
Although I didn't film or get any pictures of the second flight of the day.
I got the prop extension bolts just after noon and had the extension on in
time to make a flight just before sundown. I suspect, given that my tach
bouncing problem reappeared, although milder than running the two blade
prop, that my next project is going to be a prop balancer.

Get some VG's some tape, and stick them in various places on the doors, fuselage
sides, etc. And film all of them. You might get lucky.
At worst, it would be like feeding crackers to a dead man...couldn't hurt much...
Tell everybody you're on an FFF project - flyin', filmin, and foolin around...
As long as you can annoy Al Gore by adding CO2 to feed the cabbages it's all
good...
