Anniversary OSH Fly-in update
www.runwayfinder.com<http://www.runwayfinder.com> is a good site with activ
e sectionals that can be used for flight planning.
GREAT web site Greg ! Did any of you guys try this ?? You can zoom in
, drag around the entire United States just like you would a Google Map.
I will checkout Wapun as a possible stop from Brodhead to Oshkosh.
Is anyone thinking of simply flying nonstop from Brodhead to OSH via the FI
SK approach ? That is my thought as winds are notoriously calmer in the m
orning hours but...it is what it is when you get there.

Mikee,
I have used skyvector.com in the past for mapping. It works well,
especially with Firefox, to plan routes and get weather.

No=2C but I thought about flying nonstop from San Geronimo (8T8) to Brodhea
d (C37) via direct. It's only 1=2C044 statute and I figure I can make it w

for another 354 lbs.
Hmmm... I'd better plug that into the W&B spreadsheet.

WOW! Are all those milk jugs interconnected with each having their own valv
e shut off going to the main tank and if so how do you turn each one on as
you go or do you have the valves all back in the rear cockpit to control fr
om there?Is there a fuel pump there to pump the gas to the main?Do you have
a spare jug in reserve for wee,wees along the way?How do you control the j
ugs from colapsing as the fuel is taken out or does that matter?Do you hang
them from the center section wing or are they down on the floor?I gotta kn

Subject: | extra fuel capacity |
Harvey=3B
Forget the milk jugs. Since I sent that last post=2C I got an even better
idea for my non-stop=2C unrefueled flight to Brodhead. What I'm proposing
is to tow an unmanned glider that will be fitted as a flying fuel tank=2C b
asically. It will ride above my wake=2C which will let me keep an eye on i
t and will also mean gravity feed of the fuel down to my airplane via a 1/2
" plastic fuel line running down the tow cable. I'll have a manual valve i
n the cockpit that will let me periodically refill 41CC's fuel tank by simp
ly watching the cork float rise as I open the valve. In case of an emergen
cy=2C I'll be able to jettison using a standard tow-hook release and a quic
k-connect on the fuel hose.
Oh=2C and the other benefit is that I can also scrounge a windshield washer
pump from the auto junkyard to be used as a "nitrogenous waste collection
system" for my biological overflow. I'll mount a yellow pushbutton on the
control stick and by holding the button for about 30 seconds=2C I'll bet I
can pump a windshield washer tank full of urine up to my flying fuel/waste
holding tank with no problems. I'll only need a couple of cycles of the pu
mp for the 16 hour flight.
Now let's see... I'll stock up on beef jerky=2C Moon Pies=2C Baby Ruth bars
=2C and some water and I'm ready to go.

Hey Mike,
I'd be interested in leaving at sunrise Sunday morning and flying direct to OSH.
Gotta love that smooth morning air. It'd be fun to fly all that way with a
few others. It makes the flight seem shorter and more fun when I have to spend
time focusing on the guy I'm flying formation with. Looking forward to it!

Awsome;love the idea but how are you going to fly two planes at the same ti
me and how will the glider remain above you.Usually they fall behind and so
metimes below.Love the urine solving problem,sounds like it might work but
it seems a bit extreme when just a jar will do and when full just dump it o
ver board and can be used over and over again.=0A=0Ado not archive=0A=0A=0A

Anniversary OSH Fly-in update
What I like about Runwayfinder.com is the ability to enter airport
identifiers and it will draw a course line complete with distances. Very
nice for flight planning.
Brodhead - direct - Oshkosh is good if you have a radio. Those of us
doing the nordo thing will have to make a stop.
Waupun is very convenient for both the Fisk arrival and the ultralight
arrival. Hopefully we can all get into OSH before any significant wind
kicks up.

Subject: | Re: gas tank float |
I can tell you not to overly coat your cork with silicon caulk or the like, for
a cork so coated can float in water, but not in gasoline (lower specific gravity).
This is based on empirical data.
Now for Plan B.......... Does anyone know if ethanol or gasoline will eat up the
coating on a cork, if the coating is either West Marine epoxy or West Marine
epoxy varnish? Your answer is based on... Chemistry? Mfr. specs.? Tests?
