On one end I put a short piece of rubber tubing for turning altimeter knobs and flipping switches. on the other end I cut a slot for turning my keyed ignition switch. Then fashioned a place to mount the stick when I'm not using it. Not real fancy but it works, it is quick and easy.

Does require you to figure out how to put a bunch of small switches in a confined space. Here is my solution: the radio has been replaced with a new one, but essentially it is still the same as in this picture. http://oh2fly.net/oldpoops/pg4.htm -------- Richard Pike Kolb MKIII N420P (420ldPoops) Kingsport, TN 3TN0 Forgiving is tough.

The altimeter transponder on the dash is still hard to reach... Been thinking about a stick like Rick described, but haven't done it yet.

Our Hwy (Hwy 95) has been clogged with cars for about a week. Normally in a 5 mile trip to the closest town you might see 10 cars, this last week has been strings as much as a mile long coming from Ca. heading to the path in Oregon and Idaho. The phenomenon has been on Fox news quite a bit here this last week. While the Alvord is not in the path of totality, its pretty close. I first checked "winds aloft" and found that at 6000 feet there was supposed to be a 14 mph wind from the NNW, and since I am SSE from there I knew that I would be better off at low levels. I can pick up about 4 MPH by flying in "ground effects", so I dropped down to the tops of the Sage and started out. I've got a bit left to do before our fly-in so I decided to clear the carbon from the HKS and set it to maximum cruise of 5800 RPM's. I flew for an hour and 24 minutes, a total of 84.5 miles and four gallons of fuel. If you want to change quality of the video click on the "gear" and set your download speed to what you want to see. It is recorded at 1080 P, so the quality is there if you have the speed.

Does anyone have any experience with using a roller instead of spraying on the AeroThane? I've heard that it is easier, wastes less product, and actua lly covers more evenly. Comments?

I love low level flying. I don't get to do that mu ch up here in Michigan because of the trees. I fly a 377 Rotax so my low lev el trust factor is not like it was over the deserts of SoCal.

The sides need to be that far forward because you need to get your feet in and out, and extending the sides rearward would prevent that.
