| Subject: | Seasons Greetings |
Greetings to all. The Lightning community is a great bunch. However, as an
engineer, I couldn't help but note the error in the Santa calculations. The
base assumption is that there is only one Santa and one sleigh. Wrong, Santa
realized many generations ago that a solo mission would be impossible, so he
cloned himself. The exact number of clones is unknown, but alas, there are
never quite enough .
To my progressive friends:
Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, my best wishes for an
environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low-stress, non-addictive,
gender-neutral celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced within
the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, or
secular practices of your choice, with respect for the religious/secular
persuasion and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious
or secular traditions at all. I also wish you a fiscally successful,
personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of
the
generally accepted calendar year 2008, but not without due respect for the
calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped
make America great. Not to imply that America is necessarily greater than any
other country nor the only America in the Western Hemisphere. Also, this
wish is made without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability,
religious faith or sexual preference of the wishee.
To my Republican friends:
Merry Christmas and a Happy New year.
Earl Ferguson, P.E.

I am considering changing the Bing for a Revflow carb.
Hi Pete,
Yes, it was great to meet you at OSH. Will you be there again this
summer? I hope so. Bring some more of you "mates" with you this time.
As to the Revflow carb, I really don't know that much about it, but I
definitely think all Lightnings (and other go fast airplanes) could benefit
from a different carb or throttle body set up that would be more efficient,
especially at the higher altitudes. So yes, any experimenting you can do with
a
different fuel induction set up would be beneficial for all of us. I look
forward to hearing about your results. And if anyone else out there reading
this had info to add on this subject, please jump in and let us learn from your
experiments.
Blue Skies,
Buz Rich

Thanks for your comments Buz, I will go ahead and fit the Revflow, I
will keep the list informed on how it runs .
By the way, your verbal sparring partner downunder, Laurie Hoffman,
finaly flew his motor glider up here to see how my Lightning is going.
He took me for a fly in his glider , turned the engine off (a perfectly
good engine ? Haven't done that before) and landed it from some 10 nm
back, dead stick. I don't want to get too used to these tail draggers.
Was good to fly realy.
Thanks again, buz
Pete Disher

Pete,
Tell Laurie I said hello and ask him if he has anything to do with
Hoffman props out of Germany? Many years ago I bought one for a Pitts buddy of
mine while I was flying F-4s over there. I also enjoyed soaring many years ago
in Arizona. Easy to get diamonds out there due to the fantastic thermals.
By the way, ask Laurie if the thermals in Australia work in reverse since you
are down under. Inquiring minds want to know. Blue Skies,
Buz
