    Subject: Re: Thom, Chris or Jabiru owners
    FrankD, Did you get the Jabiru needle installed yet? I was unsuccessful with the EGTs until I replaced the needle. You mentioned elevator trim. My SS has a very good one installed by the builder. Attached is a photo. If I needed one now though, I would probably just rig an adjustable bungee in the cockpit. Simple, cheap and works as well as an electric tab with no extra weight on the tail or complexity of wiring. That said, it turns out my SS hardly needs one solo, which is the only way I fly it. My trim setting at cruise is the same as required on final approach with flaps. Only in between those two extremes is it slightly out of trim and not worth bothering with. I was also fortunate regarding radio noise. The builder of my SS is an electrician by trade and he did all the right things with wire routing, grounding, shielding, etc. My handheld iCom A6 with ship's power and airframe mounted antenna has no ignition or other noise whatsoever.... other than the engine/prop, of course.

    Ron, FWIW, my son, same name, is a Construction Super for KB Home at Lake Elsie Reserve, just around the corner from Tavares, FL, the sea plane city. Slap a set of floats on your ride, fly a great plane by Homer and live in a custom built home by one of Homer's relatives. (BTW, KB Home Orlando Div. came in #1 in the nation for Customer Satisfaction) May be a possibility you want to check out. Good luck wherever you land! Major planning such as this can be a very exuberant slice of life.

I thought that it was an ideal place. When I found out they want 700 per month I had to turn it down. But by far it's the most ideal location for me. Nice and cozy and nearby to the major hubs. The cost though chased me away. From what I gather some outfit from up north bought the hanger rights to it, and executive and jacked up the prices from still expensive 500 per month. I think they want about 100 per month for outside parking. It may be a real-estate play, chase the airplanes out and build condos. > > I will look up the Kolbers when I settled down a bit.

    Whoops! That'd be #1 in Customer Satisfaction according to J D Powers. If you might lean in that direction you may also want to go to http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/mostadmired/2011/index.html Click on the Industries tab, select Homebuilders and see KB Home is #1 there, too. dK On 10/2/2011 10:27 PM, David Kulp wrote: > Ron, > > FWIW, my son, same name, is a Construction Super for KB Home at Lake > Elsie Reserve, just around the corner from Tavares, FL, the sea plane > city.
