Larry,
That is your best video yet, in my opinion, not because of the lack of music track
but because of the captions telling us what we are looking at as we fly over
it with you.
With the recent Icelandic eruption causing so much commercial flight havoc in Europe,
makes one wonder when was the las time Scott Butte spilled its guts, and
more importantly, when it might do so again. Our earth is a dynamic ball of
internal fury which can be viewed and appreciated best from a Kolb in flight.
Regarding the ION Hwy ...It was in use in the early days of settlement here in
the West...
Fascinating for us back-easters, to whom it appears to STILL be "in the early days
of settlement." :-)

Thom/Gang:
I especially enjoy Larry C's vids.
Being an Alabama boy, I feel extremely fortunate to have spent a lot of time
on the ground and in the air traveling the same routes that Larry shoots.
Most of the trails Larry flies, we ride on the quads in the Fall. It is a
very harsh and unforgiving part of the world.
Looking forward to renewing my aquaintence with the area next month and
relaxing at the Rock House.

From: william sullivan <williamtsullivan@att.net>
Jack- How are you doing on the new engine? Haven't heard from you lately.
Bill,
Initially thought that the engine quit on the maiden flight due to
electrical problems. Did not like the way I had mounted the voltage
regulator and magneto kill switch. The regulator leads wiggled loose and
shorted. Reworked the whole works to come up with a better mounting and in
doing so saved a little weight. Also insulated the lead clips with shrink
tubing and then wire tied them in a way to prevent the clips from ever
coming loose. Also, to get the engine up to speed I purchased new set of 54
inch IVO ultralight blades.
Mounted the whole works and tried starting the engine. Found that the
engine would run a burst after the engine was primed and that was it. I
took the carburetor off and looked at the lower end to see if the metering
needle valve was stuck, and replaced the regulator diaphragm and the pump
parts. After this I have been able to get the engine to run, but now I am
having trouble with the engine loading up on fuel upon closing the throttle
after a high rpm run on the high speed jet. Upon cranking the engine
without priming, the engine floods. This indicates that the metering needle
is not seating, or very high flow resistance through the air filter.
Tomorrow, I will remove the air cleaner and see if the flooding problem
continues. If so, I will remove the carburetor and blow out the fuel
galleys up to and through the metering needle seat. And the try again.

Jack, here's a couple of sites that might have some useful
information. It's a ppg site but engines are engines...
