Very similar to your aluminium ones>>
Very good Russ. LOL
i used to know a skipper who had a place to put his beer right next to
the compass. He said that he had swung the compass with the beer in
place so the deviation was known and built in.

I know, I should have grabbed it then, but I was still looking at other
options. I'm pretty sure it was the same as the one I posted the link to.

How about Cold Waters, Rusty Waters, Muddy Waters, Sandy Waters,Falling
Waters, Boiling Waters?>>
Enough already!
Crystal, think I beg you before you inexorably warp the entire life of your
poor unborn child.
I read lately that research has shown that names influence many things.
Career for instance. From the `allitirative affect` there are more dentists
named `Dennis` and more lawyers called `Laura` than statistically there
should be and likewise more shops selling sea shells are owned by Sheryls
and Cheryls.
There are more women named Georgia, in Georgia and more men named Louis in
Louisiana..
Those with initials at the beginning of the alphabet are more likely to work
in prestigious university departments or ne Nobel winners.
Unusual spelling such as `Ashlee` instead of `Ashley` should be avoided.
Children who have common names that are traditionally spelt learn `spelling
and grammar` faster. The name is one of the first words we learn and if
teachers etc. constantly have to ask if they are spelling the name correctly
it causes loss of confidence in spelling ability.
A third of teachers claimed that they could spot trouble in names like
Callum or Chardonnay or Crystal.
A study in 1960 found that those with unusual names were more likely to be
diagnosed as psychotic and boys with the least popular names are more likely
to commit crime.
Remember the poor girl who was named `Talula does the Hula from Hawaii`.
She has now changed it by deed poll.
I remember hearing a mother during the war calling to her child `Come here,
Bardia`. Bardia was a town at which there was a battle in the North African
Campaign and the name was topical then and maybe had family connection.
Even as a kid I pitied that poor child going through life explaining why she
was called `Bardia`
One last thing. People with surnames at the end of the alphabet are less
likely to be succesful than those with surnames at the beginning.
I would rate `Crystal` as an oddish name.( nice but oddish) so that
combined with your surnames position in the alphabet, you should ,
statistically and from the career point of view be dead in the Water(s)
Cheers and a Merry Christmas
Pat (who reads too much rubbish)

Cristal
I'm sure you're smart enough to ignore all the frivilous names
suggested by would-be humorists (like me). I suspect you'll come up
with a very satisfying name well before the birth.
I'm told (but wouldn't swear to it) that Bill Lear wanted to name
his daughter Chanda; has a nice ring to it at that.
His wife said NO! -- but agreed to Chanda being her middle name. But
then Bill made her first name Crystal.
Crystal Chanda Lear -- now, that's distinctive. Poor kid!
All the best on '10

Bill, the Calumet is the one I'm looking at, and which I posted in the
first message. The Quicksilver tank is way too expensive.

I think Ken Brock developed the seat tank many years ago, for
Gyrocopters. Only complaint I ever heard was that they were COLD! --
after all, it is a huge heat-sink. In CA this didn't matter too much.
Good luck

Most gyro owners have padded and/or foam seats and backs to their seat
tanks, so the cold-complaint isn't really valid. However, there are two
issues to consider:
1. Thin walls. Because the walls of the seat tank are relatively thin,
there is lots of change in the shape as you add fuel. The change isn't
significant at all in terms of comfort, safety or functionality, but, what
it does do is, makes it more difficult to fill the seat tank up to the max
level. Even just sitting in it will push the gas up higher. Then, as you
hit bumps -- ground or air -- the gas will get redistributed around. So,
most gyro pilots don't fill them up near the top, so that gas won't come out
the vent.
2. Gas level. The majority of gyros with seat tanks will use a clear tube
that is ported into the top of the seat and into the bottom of the seat, and
there will be a tiny plastic red cylinder that floats on top of the gas in
the tube. That is your gauge. It takes a while to get used to that, and
requires you be able to swivel your head (and often your body) around to
view it.
