Finally got the beast home....it looks grand, it has the engineering of a
Sherman Tank and a heart of a Volkswagen Beetle. Even with a 60 to 1
reduction drive unit plus a 48 tooth sprocket and 20 tooth sprocket the 1/2
horse power single phase electric motor could not handle the 700# door. Only
option a larger 3/4 or 1 or 2 horse power motor. ka-ching ! ka-ching!
....it's only money !

as the door opener is raising the door.... install some counter weights
that go down, that may eliminate some of the stress. a 1/2 hp does
seem iffy.

Dennis,
You could try counter-balance weights to reduce power requirements.My bi-fo
ld door is made of 2x4s and corrugated steel sheeting and I open and close
it by hand.2 pulleys and cables and 2- 20gal drums of concrete make it move
easily.The drums are back in the corners on either side of the tail.Cables
attach at the lower corners and center of the door.Pretty straightforward
installation.

Hi Folks:
Just had an Angus Burger at McDonald's in beautiful downtown Laramie,
WY. If
you have never visited Laramie, you have not missed a thing. They do
have a
good FBO with computer, but the monitor is out of focus. When I sat
down to
read my email and check weather, I thought something was wrong with my
eyes.
Maybe I will get used to everything being fuzzy.
Got out of Goodland, KS, at 1100 this morning. Was grateful for flyable
weather
as far as Laramie. Did about 260 miles in 3 hours. Last 40 miles went
from 110
to 60 mph ground speed. That is depressing. Starting to get accustomed
to
flying in higher winds, like 15 to 25, gusting to 35 mph. The second
day of
flying, these winds were making me very uncomfortable. I have only
gotten two
full days of flying out of 6. Normally, this trip takes a total of 4
days.
Worst case, up until this trip, was 5 dzys. Will be setting a record
this time.
Last Wednesday I got out of Neosho, MO, at 0700. Flew two hours and
landed in
very high winds at Rick Girard's airstrip. Spent a couple hours with
Rick and
the wind started slacking off enough to get back in the air. Refueled
at Great
Bend, KS, then headed out for Goodland. I was within 15 minutes of
Goodland
Airport when I very large black thunderstorm hit Goodland. I was about
25 miles
SE and the winds were very strong and turbulent. I had bypassed Oakley
Airport
a while back, but couldn't get back there in the headwind. Kept a nice
slow
left hand turn to the south until I found a good section of dirt road
and a
north/south intersection. All the road, mostly dirt, are orientated
NS/EW. The
wind was honking out of the SE, making for an interesting landing on the
muddy
road. There was a farm house at the intersection, and I followed a
truck into
the yard and up next to a barn. Told the farmer my problem and he asked
me to
move over to a wind break of cedar trees. !
Got the mkIII double tied down before the thunderstorm hit. Spent a
couple
hours with Kim and Shaun in their home until the rain slacked off, then
headed
for Goodland. Nice to know there are folks that will still take
strangers right
off the road and into their homes.
Weather my be doable in the morning if I get out of here really early,
like
first light. I'll do some more homework on the weather before I decide
on my
route to the Rock House. There is an alternate route through Pocatello,
ID,
that I might be able to do, or my original planned route through
Evanston, WY,
Heber City, UT, Provo, UT, and Wendover, UT.
Will have to play this trip by ear, one leg at a time, as weather and
winds
permit, but I will eventually get to Larry and Karen Cottrel's.
Physically, for a 72 year old, I am doing great despite the bad wind and
weather. All these weather days play games mentally. I have to be very
careful
not to made dumb decisions. Sometimes it is very difficult not to be
dumb. ;-)
Having fun on my first long XC in two years,
john h

re no ultralights tied down within sight, so it was possibly in a hanger.
- The field is closed Monday, but if I get a chance I will check with Mik

causes of failure, etc.- As far as I know, they only sell 100LL there no

Folks,
I'm currently building a 40x50 hangar (as cheaply as possible) out of used metal chicken house trusses and tin that I disassembled. Have been (still) struggling about what to do for a door. I know others here have been experiencing the same issue and wanted to share a web site that has a good pictorial and written guide on how to build a nice looking door. My hangar will be very similar and I am seriously considering building a door like this. Here is the link to the site, http://www.n56ml.com/hangar/
Take Care,
John Cooley
