While I imagine the night wasn't too bad, if I had known soon enough I would
have made a phone call. I'm a Texican in California but have people in
Sherman. Be nice to haul you out to the ranch for some good food and rest.
Stuart and Nick;
As I sit here totally removed from any resulting misadventure of my
technical ruminations, I give them to you freely, without charge.
Suppose some part of the aileron was used to move a disc in a closed
cylinder... an aluminum disc perhaps and maybe an aluminum cylinder... Such
a device would not 'seal' well and the moving disc would encounter very
little resistance to reciprocating movement within the cylinder, if the
period of the reciprocation approximated that of the intended use of the
system. However perhaps an oscillation excited by the aircraft's airflow
would have a much shorter period. Perhaps one short enough that said
cylinder and piston machination would tend to dampen the movement of the
aileron. Maybe to call this an "idea" is generous- maybe it is the sporadic
bio-electric misfiring that pass for thoughts generated by the decaying
detritus of this old man's brain.

Wonder if R/C truck shocks would work if you took the spring off?

List: I was trying to reduce the size of the pictures for John and screwed
up. Here are the reduced copies of the pictures that he wanted you to see.
Couldn't arouse the curmudgeon:-)

Hi Folks:
Larry didn't tell you I logged 3.5 landings upon my arrival at the Rock
House airstrip.
Great to be here. First internet I have had in some time.
I departed home Sunday and completed my flight West in 4.5 days. Flew
2,025 miles in 28.7 hours. These figures I am pulling off the top of my
head. Guessing I burned about 150.0 gal of fuel. Used zero oil. Had
absolutely no engine or aircraft problems. Well I did have one slight
problem I picked up and corrected during my preflight at Monument Valley
yesterday morning. I discovered a coolant hose clamp I had not snugged
tight enough when I replaced them prior to my flight West. Here's how my
flight time worked out day by day:
-Day One: 8.0
-Day Two: 8.0
-Day Three:4.0
-Day Four: 6.7
-Day Five: 2.0
Highest altitude was 12,400 feet right over the top of a mountain about 6.0
miles from Ely, NV, airport at about 6,500 ft. That's a lot of fun
dropping down the side of the mountain that quickly.
Weather is nice an cool out here and the humidity if extremely low. Feels
good to get out of the heat and humidity of the SE.
I'm very proud of my MKIII. I has done a great job getting me to the Rock
House safely. Wish I had had a video camera to record my approach to and
triple attempt to land at Monument Valley. That video would be a great
response to questions of how safe is the Kolb and how well does it handle
extreme weather. It did good.
