Subject: | Re: From the Newswire at work this morning-Sorta OT |
I just opened my latest Sport Aviation. In it is an article
about a diy starter for C-65's and 85's. It uses a Dewalt
cordless drill and apparently works quite well.
Something to think about with all these horror stories.
Also around here you have to have a second person
lined up ahead of time to prop for you at flyins as they
won't let you do it on your lonesome.

But it keeps getting harder to find one.

Subject: | 80th Anniversary OSH Fly-in update |
Here is an update on the 80th anniversary fly-in.
Bill Rewey stopped at Waupun, WI (WI07) to investigate it as a potential
stopover point. This airport is conveniently located for pilots flying
the FISK arrival.
It is a private airfield with a N-S paved runway and an E-W grass runway
located about 15 miles south of Ripon.
The owner is eager to have us stop there on our way to OSH.
www.runwayfinder.com is a good site with active sectionals that can be
used for flight planning.
Here is the form for preordering the 2009 Oshkosh NOTAM:
https://secure.eaa.org/airventure/notam_request.html
Please order and study it.

Congratulations, Gardiner for finishing the Piet and for finally getting
Matronics to accept your posts.
You've got three months to fly off the time on your Piet and have it ready
for Brodhead - should be plenty of time. Hope to see it (and you) there.
Jack

Actually, the Appalachians rise about as high above the surrounding terrain
as do the Rockies. Mount Mitchell, in western North Carolina is 6,684'
above sea level, but the surrounding terrain is only 595' MSL, so it rises
over 6,000' above its surroundings. The land around the Rockies is nearly
6,000' MSL, so only the peaks that are over 12,000' are truly "taller" than
the highest peaks in the Appalachians. Density altitude is another matter
entirely.
Neither mountain range has a wealth of good forced landing sites. Here's
typical terrain in the Blue Ridge on the way to Brodhead last year. At
about this point in the trip, my GPS indicated I was making 27 knots,
groundspeed.

Happy I don't have to get any higher than about 4500' to get to Brodhead.

Subject: | Re: best place to buy turnbuckles |
I spoke to Dan the other day and he only has fork ends at the moment and the long
turnbuckles
Would it be ok to use the fork end in place of the cable eye and are others using
the long or short?
They wont post overseas so I need to order all that I need in one go
Dan is a very nice fellow I think the 1/2 hour on the phone chatting would have
cost about as much as 1 turnbuckle.
He also said he would be at OSH.
