Subject: | Re: Louisiana Folk |
Sorry I missed your calls. Thanks for the concern.
Most of us OK. Lot of folks are gonna feel this. And that is if there are no
levee failures. Opened the Morganza Spillway yesterday. That will buy us a little
(1 - 1.5 feet). This is record setting stuff. Nobody really knows how
this will play out. Glad the levee system was built by the old guys, with pride
in their workmanship.
Move my Mark IIIC last Thursday, mostly because of threat of rain. No place for
new water to go. Right now, Nauga Field OK. We still have close to 13 days
before crest.
John H - know your busy with departing this am. I'll try to return your call.
Check in later if you get a chance. Keep us posted. Fly smart and safe. Watch
out for that Density Altitude (Grants Milan, NM!!)
For those that have been to Nauga. Water can be seen off the front porch of the
camp/FBO.
If you live between the Rockies and the Smokies and want to help, go twice, flush
once!!! [Wink]

Thanks too much,

Hi Folks:
Winds today are from the north at 10-15, gusting to 23. Decided to postpone
my takeoff until Monday morning. Will still have a headwind to Neosho, MO,
tomorrow, but somewhat lighter than today.
Tuesday, west out of Neosho, Great Bend, KS, is forecasting:
Tuesday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 70. Breezy, with a southeast wind
between 13 and 21 mph, with gusts as high as 29 mph.
If that holds true, I should have well over 100 mph ground speed. I can
handle the wind when it is in my favor.
After Fort Collins, CO, weather will be iffy through the mountains from Rock
Springs, WY, Heber City, UT, Provo and on to Wendover, UT. Going to spend a
few days in Wendover, then west to Elko, NV, and NW to the Rock House.
Temps are much cooler out West. Hard to pack cold weather stuff when it is
hot in the SE.
Would like to see a better forecast this week, but don't think I am going to
get it. Wednesday night snow is forecast in the Rockies between Rock
Springs, WY, and Provo, UT. Not ready for that.

John -
Sounds like you're making a good call.
You write that Goodland, KS will be one of your stops, and in a prior post
you mention Rock Springs WY. I'm sure that your actual route changes based
on a number of factors - yet I'd really enjoy seeing a "start to finish" li
st of the stops on the route you are planning to travel.
Wishing you a wonderful, wonderful flight. If Norm continues to improve (he
had knee surgery two weeks ago) I'll see you at the Rock House.

Arty T/Gang:
Most of the places I land are because I have landed there before and like
them, or I have no other choice. When you need gas, you need gas. Speaking
of gas, I'd never fly anywhere out West without a full tank. Never leave
the ground unless I am topped off, if fuel is available. Fuel is not always
available.
I usually fly the same routes and land the same places because they work.
The northern route from Gantt IAP to the Rock House:
-Columbus, MS
-West Helena, AR
...either
-Mountain View or Heber Springs, AR
-Neosho, MO
-Great Bend, KS
-Goodland, KS
-Fort Morgan, CO
-Loveland/Fort Collins, CO
...either
-Laramie, WY or Walden, CO (depends on ceiling because Walden is about 8,500
MSL and have to climb above 10,000 to get over the mountains)
-Dixon, WY is I come through Walden (nothing here, but I have spent the
night here a couple times and stopped other times. I like it)
-Rock Springs, WY (nearly always cold and windy, no matter what time of the
year)
-Fort Bridger, WY
-Evanston, WY
-Ogden, UT
-Brigham City, UT
-Jackpot, NV
This flight I plan to meet relatives in Wendover, UT, so instead of going to
Jackpot, I'll fly to Wendover, Elko, NV, and the Rock House. If weather is
iffy, I'll fly from Elko to Winnemucca, NV, then north to McDermott and the
Rock House.

Kolbers,
When I knew I was going to move from south east Missouri to east central
Indiana, I started looking for a new EAA Chapter home. One of the Chapters
I visited was located at Neil Armstrong Airport (KAXV) Wapakoneta, Ohio.
The second meeting (and last) I attended was at the home of John Hines, a
Kolb pilot, because he wanted to show off his new hangar.
I really liked his door, as I thought it was the simplest and lightest that
I had ever seen. He had purchased the plans and all the hardware and then he
assembled it on the ground inside the hangar. From Google I found the
current supplier of plans.

One of my neighbors has one. Works well using a Harbor Freight 12V worm
drive winch. The hardware kit was very complete, with everything
included except the wood, door skin structural framing for mounting the
tracks, pulleys, etc, and the winch.
Potential downsides: door opening must be high enough for the door to
hang under the opening, since the door partially retracts into the hangar;
for me at least, the installation is pretty complicated, with multiple
tracks similar to garage door guides and lots of pulleys that that must
be mounted to structure above & behind the door;
my neighbor built his using regular yellow pine, which is rather prone
to quick rot when used at grade level (IIRC, he said that the company
recommends against using treated lumber because of the extra weight);
Potential upsides: it can be opened with a simple hand cranked boat
winch, and if you install ballast weights on the cable, you can almost
open & close it without a winch;
you get the shade from roughly half the door remaining outside the hangar.
One thing to remember is that it's only the thickness of a 2x4 on edge.
If wind is a serious concern, it might have problems in heavy wind.

Treated lumber maintains the extra weight until it dries out. Then it
weighs the same as untreated lumber. It also shrinks up quite a bit as it
dries.
