Hwy Barry!
Sorry, no Toolstock this year. A very good friend had some very serious health
issues and needed quite a lot of help.
Just never had time to get the place ready. However, am already planning on one
here in GA next feb.
Would also like to have a smaller one up in WI sometime. Kind of want that one
more Piet or airplane related at the outset. I may start a thread over on the
new BPA site to see what would help folks the most.
Thanks for asking! Going to sun and fun?

I was afraid of that. I have some interesting guns to bring and shoot.
Might fly down for a day or two, but most likely won't. I have a Glock
Shooting match next weekend and need to practice a little next week. (For
those interested in a family oriented shooting group, google GSSF. There are
matches every weekend all over this great country)

Keep at it Charles! I think the new forum is going to work well. Don't want
to miss your input.
While I find the Forum to be farily easy to use, I do not find it
intuitive. However, being the Luddite I am, I don't find any website, list,
forum or anything but papyrus to be intuitive.
Computer and Smartphone designers say "this is intuitive" BS. It involves
something above hunting and gathering or building. If I throw a rock at
your head. Ducking is intuitive. If I send a malicious worm to your
computer, there is no intuitive reaction.

Subject: | Re: Vi Kapler hinges |
Oscar,
Thanks for the response. Now I wish I had made my motor mount another 2" longer
for my SkyScout. But by slanting my cabanas back almost 6", I'm now where I should
be with the CG. With a 200lb butt in the cockpit, my CG is fine until I
get down to 30 minutes of fuel left. That means I've flown for over two hours,
not too likely! Maybe by the time I fly it, I can loose 10 lbs!
Thanks,
Ray

Approximate weight of this pair of hinges, minus the mounting screws and pivot
pin hardware, is 0.64 oz, or about 0.38 lb for the complete set of 9 pairs. Since
all of this weight is aft of the CG and on a very long moment arm, keeping
these parts light is important. Believe it or not, the moment created by this
1/3 of a pound for a set of hinge castings out at the tail of my Air Camper
is the same as that created by 3 gallons of fuel (18 lbs) in the nose tank. Use
thin AN washers on the clevis pins, don't use pins that are any longer than
necessary, and clip the excess leg lengths off the cotter pins before setting
them."

Sounds good, Douwe -- I'll do that just as soon as I get mine finished.

I seem to remember it was in the $5k range for a 50 ft door. I believe that included
new take-up reels and the mounting hardware. MAY have included new motor/gearbox.
Call em up.

Not looking now. My budget has been budgeted and the door opens and closes
great.
But now I have a reference number.
Thanks.

Charles; I had the same initial reaction and was going to give up until I realized
that when I "applied" to join, they sent me an email that had a link in it
that I had to click to return the handshake, so to speak. Once I clicked on
it, I went right to the site and put in my username and password and *voila*-!

Subject: | Re: please post a pic |
I just posted a few pix of 41CC on the new BPA site. I will point out that mine
is NOT a show winning airplane, it's a flyer... and a fun one at that. I never
worry about anybody touching the airplane, sitting in it, fiddling with the
controls or knobs (except for the mag switch!!), leaning on it- and there is
always room on it for another drip or smear of Aeroshell 50, another splatter
of mud on the underside, another little clump of grass from passenger or pilot
shoes in the cockpit. There is nothing more depressing than an airplane that
never flies, spending its life sitting on the ramp or in a hangar. They are
all nice to look at, and to smell, and to inspect, but they are so quiet and
lifeless if they never get to fly. I would rather have an unpolished, imperfect,
unremarkable airplane that you can walk up to and the engine is still tick-tick-ticking
as it cools down and people are walking away smiling as they get
out of it after a flight. A few drips out the breather tube as it sits on the
apron and a lot of bugs smashed on the prop and windshield. Yep... it's a flyer.
