Gardner-
I would say that if you have a Mack truck cowl on the front of your Air Camper,
you have a lot more serious issues than where to punch a few louvers!

| Subject: | Re: Flight training |
Good to know-thanks. Dumas is only about 65 miles from here.but Midland is about
175 or so miles south so probably this fellow won't be able to get much good
from him.plus I found out what he has built is a very light singe seat that
would probably qualify as a legal ultralight so he will need to get some training
in a very light aircraft but unless he wants to pursue the full ticket wouldn't
have to and still fly.we did locate an instructor up in Perryton even farther
north of here that has an aircraft that he trains with so if the guy wants
to drive this far maybe he can get some training from him.

Thanks Bill for your input. Yes, you are looking at the correct struts. I guess
it would be wise to go larger/stronger.

I tried to get away from welding at first. I had not welded in a long, long time
and while building the plane, I did not want to take the time to re-learn how
to do it. I am fortunate enough to have access to a nice TIG welder, so I took
the time to practice and talk to other welders for help. I now have plenty
of welded fittings made and I really do enjoy doing it. It is a nice break from
the wood and epoxy sometimes. I enjoy it so much that I am going to tackle making
my own aluminum fuel tank soon.

Is it possible to get a better glide ratio if I stop the prop from rotating , or
does that make it worse ? I will try it and let you all know, if it also can
be restarted, just in case Palmyra is too far away , I'm Thinking. I'm Thinking,
Maybe a video would prove some of my claims,.
By the way, the 612 airfoil has under camber and a gorgeous fuller front side
that makes a shape as sexy as they come.

Yes=2C Lowell=2C you will. It's just about the same drag as a disc of the
same diameter. Similar to setting a windmilling propeller to zero thrust
when simulating an engine failure in a twin. Not quite as good=2C but beat
s a windmilling prop any day. even in my ultralight I noticed a difference
.

There is a certain revelution that when your prop is turning at that rev it
makes it seem like there is a big piece of wood in front of the aircraft
=2Clike a wall.Increase reves and it goes away=2Creduce revs and it goes aw
ay as well.Your prop makes much less drag when stopped.

| Subject: | Bungee to Spring Conversion Complete |
Finished the swap on my split axle gear from bungees to springs. So far so good.
This is what I've noticed:
- the plane rocks back and forth a bit during taxi - never noticed that with the
bungees. Not a problem, just different,
- on landing, the plane is a bit more squirrelly. Again, not a problem,just need
to be aware, and I'm supposed to be paying attention anyway,
- the plane does not squat out under load near as much as it did with the bungees.
Thanks to Kelly Klaus. He's one of our list members. He came to visit a couple
of weeks ago and consented to be my crash-test dummy for the gross weight tests
on the new gear. Trusting guy!
Different subject: Tropical Storm Hermine ran 6" of water through my hangar. Really
inconvenient. No major damage though. I continue to be extremely fortunate.

Yup aluminum welding is even fun with a TIG (yes I know real men weld
aluminum with gas). Would recommend .040 or .050 5052, .032 works but is
more of a challenge to weld.

| Subject: | Re: Flight training |
Roger, Now I get to throw out some random ideas.
The EAA still has an ultralight organization that has instructors. I would check
there. I think he will have to travel.
Look over at Hobbs, NM.
I would also do some calling in Sweetwater and Abilene. San Angelo has a big flying
population (relatively.).
The other thought he may look at is finding someone with the most similar training
aircraft and going there to get the training.
It sure is a good idea for him to get training. Ultralights don't require any training
by reg. But a lot of people have been hurt training themselves how to
fly!
Blue Skies,
Steve D
