      If you know how to do a forward slip, you know how to handle a x-wind when landing
      or taking off. Of course, which side you slip towards makes a huge difference
      in outcome :-).

      Arty,
      
      I think backward slips are aerobatic maneuvers, as opposed to doing a forward slip
      backasswords for x-winds :-).

      Saw the owner of the Firestar II at a fly-in this morning and he asked me "What
      price did you put on that ad for my airplane?" Told him I couldn't remember.
      
      
      Anyway, it is not $5900, it is $6900. At least he was getting a lot of activity...

      Thanks Rick.  Even established towers can be hard to see on a hazy day.  
      On a tractor airplane you could
      be on a collision course with your belly without ever seeing the top.   
      Kolbs are a little better in this case.
      Areas to pay special attention are over ridges and along interstates 
      where they like to space cell towers.
      
      Also a good look around is suggested when making turns greater than 90 
      degrees.

      We apparently had one stuck into a little swale along the ridge line on 
      the crest of the 
      Steen's along the Hwy going North. It was there for a while, then it was 
      gone. At my current stage of "elderly" I had just about convinced myself 
      that I was mistaken. :-) Thanks for the explanation. They are planning a 
      wind farm in that area. They haven't figured out how to keep the wind 
      from twisting the prop shaft in to yet. It gets a bit windy at times 
      here.

      Hello All,
      
      I have been flying my MKIII around the Willamette valley for about a year now and
      I figured it was time I finally break the confines of the mountains that surround
      me.  Attached is a bad video I took of some of the mountains I flew through.
      Some day I will keep going and make it to Monument Valley.  I had the MKIII
      as high as it has ever gone (7000')  I flew from the valley east over the
      cascades to Bend Oregon.
