| Subject: | Freedom of flight |
All.
I would like to suggest that everyone on the Lightning list take
advantage of one of the freedoms that we in the USA are fortunate to have
- the
freedom of flight. It is not my intention to turn this into some sort of
political statement, but in today's world environment we seem to see so
many
of our national freedoms eroding, as some agencies in positions of power
seem to react without really thinking of the consequences of their
restrictions. So I suggest that everyone roll out their favorite flying
machine and
go flying today to take advantage to the freedom of flight that we all
love so much. And take someone with you. It will make you feel better
and
put a smile on your face. You might even be able to look down and see
someone looking up as you fly over, knowing that they are probably wishin
g they
were able to be up there with you.
Finally, as we reflect on our nation's birthday today, 4 July, we should
remember the sacrifices of those who made our freedoms possible. Our men
and women in uniform have been the ones to keep us free and help
ed make us
prosperous. I am reminded of an old poem =93 attributed to Father
Dennis
O'Brien =93 and if it were written today, it would have a footnote
to say
"soldier" is meant in the broadest sense =93 to include all those in
uniform:
It's the soldier, not the reporter who has given us
Freedom of the Press.
It's the soldier, not the poet, who has given us
Freedom of Speech.
It's the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the
Freedom to Demonstrate.
It's the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the
Right to a Fair Trial.
It's the soldier who salutes the flag, serves under the flag and
whose coffin is draped by the flag,
Who gives the protestor the right to burn the flag.
Blue Skies,
Buz

Steve (and all),
Interesting way to measure your oil consumption, but hard for us to
know how to compare that without knowing at what speed your aircraft cruises.
At 50 mph that would be 9 hours per quart and thus great oil consumption.
However, at 150 mph that would be 3 hours per quart - nothing to brag
about.
My 3300 Jabiru (in a highly modified Esqual - N31BZ) has 575 hours in
3 &1/2 years. From memory, It is serial number 843 and has solid lifters.
Most recent annual had compressions all between 70 and 74, and that was
measured with the engine cold. I figure I could have added a pound or two of
compression if I had done the compression check on a hot/warm engine.
There are no signs of oil seepage anywhere on the engine.
I generally run my engine rather hard (read that as a little above
2850) and my cross country cruise speeds at altitude always work out to 160 to
165 mph true airspeed burning about 5.8 gph. I also seem to "miss my
Pitts" and more than occasionally am at rather "steeper" bank and climb angles,
but have never noticed a hot oil smell that you mentioned. I change oil
and filter every 25 to 30 hours and generally find the "slobber pot" about
1/3 full at each oil change. Since completing the engine break in I have
used only Aeroshell W 100 Plus. I keep the oil level between the half full
mark and the bottom mark on the dip stick. My best guess on my engine's oil
consumption is probably about 1 quart in 7 to 8 hours.
Blue Skies,
Buz Rich
