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.

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. https://vimeo.com/141750685 password- owyheeflyer 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.

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. -------- West1m Hastings, MN Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=447760#447760 Attachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/weedhopper_108.jpg ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message kolb-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Kolb-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/kolb-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/kolb-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
