If there was a full-blown fire, lets say as a result of a big fuel leak, how much
extra time do you all think would be afforded by the firewall? I put mine in
.016 stainless, but in my mind I am thinking if I ever see a fire, I am going
to point my nose straight for the ground RIGHT NOW because that firewall might
give me 15 seconds more life.

absolutely right, but keep in mind that the firewall is also there to
keep something like, say, an exhaust leak, from starting a fire or
blowing on a gas tank, for those of you with tanks in front of the front
seat.

Here is some additional info from the EAA website on arrival procedures.
http://www.airventure.org/atc/vfr_basics.html
I talked to Joe Norris yesterday and he said that we will be parked near
the "Brown Arches" by the main entrance.
I don't know if he meant the MAIN main entrance or the main entrance to
the flightline. Either way, it will be a high visibility spot so clean
the bugs off of your planes and polish the chrome.......
Camping will be in the general camping area.

I would appreciate any tips out there from those of you who have flown
cross country and "packed" for same. I've started trial packing using
the front seat and the lap and shoulder harnesses.Looks like it will
work, especially avoiding anything that would bind controls. Weight is
not an issue but volume of stuff. I suspect there is good advice out
there from those of you who have done this before. Besides a minimum of
clothes, I'll bring tie downs, a small tent,blanket, sleeping pad,
shaving gear, engine oil, camera, money!, cockpit covers to keep my seat
dry etc.The important stuff to keep dry I'll put in kayak dry bags. All
of it will be bagged.
But, some of you have done this before--so--any good tips out there?
My route will be around the north end of Lake Michigan and then down the
Door Peninsula of Wisconsin to Brodhead, about 375 miles. At the moment
I have 27 hours on the plane, landings are getting better and my longest
trip thus far has been ~60 miles.
I mentioned earliar that my trip is tied to my wife's medical situation.
At the moment she is stable and her mom will be coming to stay with her
while I'm gone. I can't take the time to go to Oshkosh as well. I have
been to Oshkosh with my first plane and have driven to Brodhead twice
beore. I am really looking forward to putting faces on the names on
e-mails and thanking "you" for your advice and comments in person.

Corky, I think what Riblett was saying that' 30 % of the 60" cord is 18"' and Little
less than 28 % to Max 40 % gives the figures of 16.8 " to 24 ".
That is the only way my simple mind figures these things out, but to prove I'm
wrong or right or some thing, I installed the Werner 145 , that put the forward
CoG to 18 ". and as you may know, I flew that combo for 2 years . With my weight,
well over 200 Lbs and sitting on 100 Lbs of steel disks, the CoG was close
to 40 " and a lighter engine up front, the Piet also flew . not as well. Would
never do tight turns or spins..
The more knowledge Pieters can give better answers when they go over all of Riblett's
specs, that he sent me.I think the 15 % figure is a thickness number for
a much deeper airfoil, I think the Piet % is close to10.3 %. This is defined
in some of Ribletts letters of which I will try to bring to Brodhead.
