| Subject: | Re: Mike Cuy DVD |
Mike sent one all the way to me here in Australia after some begging from me.
3 computers and 4 DVD players and I cant get it to show. Darn American formats!
I even tried to get the local video guy to convert it and he couldnt. Said something
about a system he has never seen. That Mr Cuy is a secretive chap...hehehe!

| Subject: | DVD finalization process--do not archive |
I've found a few copies that I've mailed out have not been 'finalized' by my DVD
recorder and that causes
playback issues on some older DVD players and computer DVD drives. Having found
this out I've taken steps
to insure the DVD's play on my player before sending them out but every once in
a while you get a snag, not technically
astute enough in this area to know what it might be.
I do know that 1 or 2 out of 12 new DVD's are junk....at least the ones I'm buying
which are a brand name but like anything
else, when they make a zillion of them in places unknown to me, who knows what
kind of (or lack of) quality control they have.

Just so everyone knows, Mike sent me a personal note this morning that a brand
new one is "in the mail". Sure, I'd rather he'd bring it in his Piet but you
can't have everything. Thanks again Mike.

| Subject: | camera used-- Dick N. asked |
Dick-I have looked around some time for a compact digital camera and settle
d on an Olympus FE-4030 from Best Buy.
It was $119 plus I think $19 for a memory card.
It does everything I want plus more and the still photos are of good qualit
y. Here's one or two from that flight on Saturday.
Nice and compact, does lots of various functions, menu system is not diffic
ult to understand.
I must have fiddled with 20 different cameras at Best Buy a few weeks ago o
ne evening and spent about 2 hours deciding before
I walked away with this one. Very happy. Your mileage may vary.

Mike, I may be able to solve your DVD issues. We can chat off list. All of
the DVDs I have sent out have played fine, so maybe I can reformat yours.

Mikee-
Next time you see the pilot who was flying during that video,
would you mind asking him about the fuel quantity? If your
airplane has a tank up in the nose and a float-and-rod style
fuel level indicator, it looks to me like there was very little
fuel in the tank during the flight. If that's just a vent
coming off the top of the cap and there is a fuel quantity
indicator somewhere else, I didn't spot it. Anyway, the guy in
the video isn't any crazier than I am... typical airspeeds and
altitudes for my kind of flying.
Yes sirreee... it's cooling off down here in TX, too. It's not
supposed to climb past the 80s all week! I have the Reklaw
Fly-In plotted out for this weekend but a lots of ducks need to
line up in a row for me to be able to take 41CC over there. The
first duck may fall this afternoon, since I'm scheduled to take
my biennial flight review and will be legal to fly again.

The nails are just to hold the gussets in place while the epoxy cures. The nails
provide no strength to the ribs at all.
I just went to Harbor Freight yesterday and purchased a 23ga pin nailer also, and
some 1/2" pins so that I can start on my ribs soon. I'm just waiting on a
friend of mine who is plotting out a full size drawing of the rib profile for
me, and then the rib building will begin!

What is the part number on the 23ga pin nailer? It sounds like
something that would be handy to have around.

The link that John Kringle posted above is precisely the model that I picked up
in my local Harbor Freight store yesterday, and it was $19.99 as listed on the
website. I had to go to a local big-box home improvement store to find the
1/2" length pins, though. A box of 3000 cost $6.79, and 3000 pins will last a
long time.
I do a lot of other woodworking stuff around the house and shop too, so I'll be
using the 23ga pin nailer on other projects, albeit with longer pins for the
more substantial projects. I also have an 18ga finish nailer/stapler for the
projects where the pin nailer won't suffice.

Just a question or warning.
I take it these pins will be removed after the glue has dried.
Unless they are coated isn't there a danger of them rusting from the moisture content
in the wood?
This is why coated nails/pins are used?

Does varnishing the ribs count as coating the pins? The pins are galvanized, but
I was also planning on covering over the tiny little holes made by the 23 ga
pins with varnish as I varnished the rest of the ribs...
