You should never go to London unless you wish to be attacked. You cannot step outside the Savoy these days without some ner-do-well removing your fingers with a chain cutter to steal the rings from it. Robbers have often been known to cut the pearl from your belly button or the diamond from your nostril with a Stanley Knife while you wait for a bus. It is no good going to the police. They are almost entirely working with the thieves. The Police will direct someone who asks the way down a dark alley where they will be attacked,beaten up and robbed.They then share their ill gotten gains between them. The tourists `hot` spots like the Tower of London or Buckingham Palace are worst. I have myself been attacked by a `Beefeater` at the Tower. I was battered on the head and held at the point of a pike while another `Beefeater` colleague robbed me. The only consolation is that everywhere else is so much worse. My wife had a Druid leap upon her while walking around Stonehenge and a turbulent priest stole her handbag in Canterbury Cathedral. Other countries are much, much worse. The best advice you can accept is to stay home in Nigeria where everyone is a friend and you can always borrow someones computer to send silly messages to the rest of the world.

The rules specify a fuel capacity not exceeding 5 gallons to qualify as an ultralight. Many have interpreted this to mean that carrying an extra can is, if not within the intent of the rules, at least within the letter. However, like so many things, it would probably come down to the mood or attitude of the FAA guy who's enforcing the rules. -Dana -- Democracy is three wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch. ________________________________ Message 9 _____________________________________ Time: 01:09:35 PM PST US Subject: Kolb-List: Re: Hi From: "Richard Pike" Hi, my name is Al, I have an urgent business proposal for you.

Subject: instant hangars? I came across this in a mag. A company called Concrete Canvas makes an impregnated canvas which when made wet hardens into a concrete like substance. It made me think of the possibility of a tent like structure which could be supported on a light framework, covered with this canvas with folds and corrugations arranged for strength. Wet it and in a few hours it hardens into `concrete`. Remove the framework and it seems that an unsupported covered space is a distinct possibility. |pparently used in Afghanistan to back up sandbag defences it can also be used underwater. With a retarded solidifying time it can be worked into cracks and crevices, nailed etc. It is fireproof and potentially bulletproof. It could be covered with earth or some other good insulating material. Worth investigating.

Mark's hanger at Forest Lake (25D in Minnesota) was broken into last night and my Kolbra was targeted. The thieves stole the engine, battery, aircraft seatbelts, and all avionics by unbolting and cutting off the engine cable and unscrewing the panel and cutting off the wires to all the instruments. Mark's large snowblower, tools, and battery charger were also stolen. Mark just finished building his new RANS S-7 and he is worried that his fuel may have been compromised although his airplane looked intact. They got in through the locked door and then opened the bi-fold hanger door to bring a hoist and vehicle into the hanger. This was all done under the cover of darkness. Mark called the police this morning and they have the engine serial number (#4400582). The Warp Drive tapered prop was also stolen (#T9433). The engine had a Titan exhaust system with a specially-made prop spacer. This polished aluminum prop spacer is very large and is one-of-a-kind. If anyone has any information on this please contact me or local law enforcement (651-325-6461 Forest Lake Police Department). Please be on the lookout for anyone who has recently acquired a used 912UL 80hp engine. The instruments, include an EIS, transponder, Microair radio, ASI, altimeter, and compass.

I believe tampering with an aircraft is a federal offense and I'm hoping for some justice. Needless to say, this not only violates me, but the whole aviation community. Mark called me tonight saying that he doesn't even feel like flying and he just built a brand new RANS S-7. The pilots at the Forest Lake airport are up in arms and are securing their hangers for fear it may happen to them too. Again thanks for your support and they got the headsets and my new audio cable that I made for videos. Sickening ...
