David, there's nothing to "compensate" for. Many aircraft, including
modern fighters, have side sticks. Some pilots prefer it to a center
stick, some do not, just as some prefer a stick vs. a control wheel
(yoke). The only real advantage to a center stick is the ability to fly
with either hand if you need the other hand to do something (e.g. tuning
radios, etc.). During normal flying, you don't even notice where it is.

I understand. My car has the garage door opener in the console, the wife's car
has it above the rear view mirror. Which means that whenever I am approaching
the garage, the right hand is waving around uncertain of where to mash.

The ELT locator radio is one of the last things I need install=2C and I n
oticed
yours in your photos. I haven't decided on a final location=2C but at the
moment
I'm leaning toward the "under the passenger seat" position.
By any chance=2C did you notice if your ELT beacon went off? Do you now
have to
report your accident to the FAA? What about logbook entries for the repair
s/etc?
I'm curious because I don't know how an "experimental" plane handles things
like this.
I've got a pretty good idea about certified planes and accidents=2C just no
t in this case.

Except for the Kolb list, I'm not telling anybody anything. I have a local
offer of a kit for less than the price of a fuselage truss from the factory.
If that works out, I'll build it and store the wreckage for this winter.
No, I never turn the ELT on. It's there to be legal, nothing else. If I were
flying cross country, I'd turn it on, but in the pattern there's no point.
Besides, it's a 121.5 unit and they're not monitored anyway. Maybe I'll
elect to install a 406 Mhz unit someday, but the price is going to have to
come down by 70% before I do.

Vic,
Just a guess but I suspect if flying with one door removed you will
experience some yaw effects, could be more than you want. My Kolb only has a
flip-over canopy so I can't say for certain.

My ASI is way off when I remove my doors. I would suggest you go up to a safe
height and verify your indicated stall speed.

to help with the either hand bit i built my stick, center mounted mkiii
stock design, to something i can use with either hand by extending the
top of the stick to the left, kind of looks like the number "7" the
top left part can be reached with my left hand very easily to give my
right arm a rest during a long flight.

| Subject: | Looking for info about route to Oshkosh |
Hi folks -
On Tuesday, July 19, four "fat ultralights" (all registered E-LSAs) will be
leaving Sandy, Oregon to fly to Oshkosh for EAA AirVenture. We all have 2-
cycle engines and plan to fly IFR. (I follow roads.)
Here is the route we're thinking about taking.
http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=212033171749363263482.0004a3349abce15
9efad6&msa=0
If any of you have live along or have flown portions of this route, we'd ap
preciate hearing- your comments and suggestions. Checking out sectionals
and Google Earth goes just so far - we'd love to hear from about better pos
sibilities, not-to-be-missed airports and sights, etc.
Thanks for any info you're willing to share.

I have a static port in a tube right under the pitot tube but this gave a reading
that was too high or too low, I can't remember. So I added a T connector which
splits the static between inside the nosecone and the static tube. That is
usually right on the money until I take my doors off.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
if you can figure if the inside is higher or lower pressure than the static
probe....
if the static pressure is too high, you can put a small wahser just before
the static hole and decrease the static pressure.
if the static pressure is too low, you can put a small washer just behind
the static hole and increase the pressure,
moving the washer further forward or further back from the static opening,
will reduce the effect.,,,, or a smaller washer will reduce the effect.
