Everybody,
APV is having a Air Fair Sunday June 8th, 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM.
$5 a person or $10 a car load, free for those who fly in.
Static displays include:
C-46 China Doll
F8F Bearcat
SNJ (T-6)
B-25
An-2 Colt (Big Russian Biplane)
Casa ____ (Spanish Jet Trainer, sorry but I can't begin to spell the name)
T-34
T-28 and A-1 Skyraider (are on the fence)
Aerial displays:
Acro Demo by "Nash" , I think he is number one ranked in the US.
5 Juga Jets - Formation display, non-acro
3 Pitts Biplanes - Formation display, non-acro
Unscheduled but possible THE FAMOUS SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA VAN's RV AIR FORCE.
(The FAA will be here so be prepared to show your paperwork as the airspace
has been waivered for ONE ten minute Acro display.) Two FAA inspectors will
be on hand to inspect the ONE acro pilot.
Marine Helicopters who just happen to be passing by on the way home from a
exercise.
Rides in the Bushmaster (Ford Trimotor clone) are available.
The air show part will be very small but there should be lots of food. So,
if you are looking for someplace to go Sunday for the hundred dollar
hamburger, try APV. I will be the "AirBoss" on the Unicom freq 122.8. So,
give me a call as you get into the local area for current activities. If we
have an aerial event in progress, I might have to ask you to hold outside
the airspace for a couple of minutes. There is only one event scheduled
each half hour so there should be plenty of time for arrivals and
departures. Also, for departing, I will be asking you to help schedule your
leaving around the "show".
The weather the last couple of days has been very warm to HOT. So bring a
hat and sunscreen, etc,
Hope to see you there. Come and have a good time.

AirBoss for Apple Valley Air Fair
and

Ole Gummibear forgot the helo display at the south ramp, the car show and
the static R/C airplane display. There will be "People Choice" awards for
the cars, airplanes etc. The local fire dept. will have a "SLAM" display,
crashed cars, fire, CHP, police responce and a Mercy helo airlift. It's
going to be a great day. NO land, parking or entry fee for fly-ins. I'm
going to be on airplane parking duty at 122.8. KABONG. (GBA) 8*)

For those of us w/o Satellite TV, is there anyone on the list who is
willing to tape the show and send me the VHS tape? I don't want to
impose, but would love to see that show.

Guys,
Being a lab geek for 20 years means that I know a little about drying
things...
like engines. Sure you can fill the crankcase with oil if you want to.
Kinda
messy when it runs out of all the holes you forgot to plug though. And
it doesn't
necessarily remove the moisture!!!!!
Here's what I suggest... YMMV. Put fresh oil in the engine or just
drain all of
it out. Take out all of the spark plugs, actually all of the engine
openings
should be open for best results. Get a couple giant garbage bags or make
the
equivalent from plastic sheeting and duct tape. Put the engine in
carefully so
as not to tear the bag. Toss in several bags of drierite (see the
website).
Seal the bag. Monitor the indicator every few weeks and rejunvenate the
drierite
as needed by baking it in a oven as shown below.
The drierite will turn from blue to pink as it absorbs water. Water can
only come
from the engine or a leak in the bag. You should reach a point where
the
drierite stays blue indefinietly. When it does your engine is bone dry.
http://www.drierite.com/catalog3/page16.cfm
If you do this right, I GUARANTEE that your engine will stay absolutely
dry. Period!
And it's really quite easy to do.

************************************************************************

A Sidebar on Drierite Desiccant
The desiccant I've been using is from Drierite, PO Box 460, Xenia, OH
45385, phone: 513-376-2927. Their web site with information on all
their desiccants is at www.drierite.com.
I'm using "Indicating Drierite" which is Stock # 23005 and size 8 mesh.
The composition
is 97% calcium sulfate (CASO4) and 3% cobalt chloride (CoCl2). The
cobalt chloride is the indicator which is blue when it's dry and
absorbent and
pink when it's lost its water absorbing ability.
The spent Drierite desiccant can be regenerated by spreading it in 1/4-
1/2" layers
in several glass baking dishes and baking in a kitchen convection oven
for
2-4 hours. Occasionally open the oven door to release moisture vapor and
stir
the desiccant in the pans. The desiccant should turn blue as the water
is released.
The instructions from Drierite on their web site are slightly
different... "the
granules may be spread in layers one granule deep and heated for 1 hour
at 210
C or 425 F. The regenerated material should be placed in the the
original glass
or metal container and sealed while hot."
Spreading the Drierite "one granule deep" isn't very practical. My way
around
this was to layer it thicker, mix occasionally with a wooden spoon, and
cook it
longer. It seems to work.
The Drierite may turn blue though before it is fully regenerated. Make
sure you
cook it long enough!
Let the pans and Drierite cool enough so the now active desiccant can be
safely
"poured" from the pans into a glass container. Apparently the glass
container
the Drierite comes in is made of borosilicate ("Pyrex") because I
haven't had
one break from the heat yet. Try not to make a mess! You'll need a
large funnel
with a large hole. Making a funnel out of letter size paper will do in
a pinch.
After a couple of times through this process, the colors becomes more
pale and
the ability to distinguish between light blue and pale pink becomes more
difficult.
It's always a good idea to label desiccant as "good" and "bad" or "wet"
and "dry" so that when you pick up a bottle, you don't have to guess
about its
state of hydration

Thanks for the heads up on the Harmon Rocket Special on Fine TV Channel
232
on my satellite. John and Ted Rutherford were interviewed and it was a
terrific piece. They did a great job of describing the design without
sensationalizing too much. Great job guys, Les Featherston "Fly in
July" Yes!
