| Subject: | Re: Center-of-Gravity for Mark 3 |
Just completed the weight and balance utilizing a more accurate digital scale.
The results seem to be reasonable with no nose balanced required. Attached are
the results if you'd like to see them. Thanks for everyone's help.

| Subject: | yet another video |
I got a call from an acquaintance that had bought a Firestar last year. He
had a lot of work to do on it, and I had not heard from him all spring and
summer. He and a couple of Gyro friends were on the Alvord, and he wanted
me to come visit. Even though I had quite a lot to do, the Firestar began
its siren song, so what the heck. I could always work, flying weather is
another story.
The day was just gorgeous, and the wind was less than one mile per hour,
and forecast to stay that way until evening. I actually had not been to the
Alvord more than twice this year, so it was a good excuse.
I climbed to 1500 agl and leaned out the mixture until I had reached 1330
EGT's. For whatever reason my HKS is not registering my RPM's, so I guessed
at cruise speed. Since I averaged 69 MPH both directions, I think I might
have been on the high end of my cruise range.
As I crossed over Coyote Lake, I could see a line of Wild Horses trotting
across the Playa to the South end of the Lake bed. Even at 1500 feet above
the lake bed, they still run when they hear a plane. I also noticed that
some one was camping behind one of the Sage Islands in the middle of the
playa. Talk about solitude, that is "getting away".
The air was silky smooth, I hardly had to touch the stick other than to
correct for wind drift. The trip back was not so smooth, as the thermals
had kicked in by the time I left.

As I flew over I noticed that I had almost gotten to the Alvord and still
had not burned one gallon of fuel. I watched the fuel gauge and when it
registered one gallon burned I was showing 27 miles traveled. Not bad at
all.
Hopefully the reason that the list is so dead is that every one is taking
advantage of the great fall weather and is too busy flying. It will not
last forever, better get out there, while you can.

Watching your latest video is enough to make me a bit home sick for Southern California.
Lake El Mirage, Soggy Dry Lake and others look just like the lake at Alvord you
show, Right down the the mountains in the background.
All that flat straight lake bed is how I learned to fly in a Weedhopper.
