BINGO!!! Why does it take us so long to grasp that principle?? I've met so
many folks that fail to appreciate the rights of others unless it affects
them directly, and it's no wonder more of our rights haven't disappeared.

Has anyone heard news from Powersport lately? I sent them an inquiry last
week and have not had a reply. It looks like their website has grown
stale, as well. I am beginning to think that they may be no longer with
us. Their engine / psru looked pretty interesting.

People I know that have paid money to power sport have been told they
have to pay several times more in order to receive what they have paid
for. I would be very concerned about sending them any money, it appears
they may be turned in to the law. They defiantly are not a trustworthy
company.

I almost hate to suggest this (only because I might get volunteered for
something) but it seems to me that there are a bunch of small groups in this
country that continually have their freedoms erroded away because they are a
small part of the total population. I heard that recreational boaters are
being restricted around the ship channel here in Houston due to 'security
concerns' and I know that hunters and gun owners continually fight to be
able to do what they enjoy. The problem is that we (aviators) don't pay a
lot of attention to the issues surrounding boating and the boaters don't pay
attention to us. If we got in line to scream at the politicians when they
encroached on the boaters rights then they would help us with people like
Mayor Saddam.
Maybe I am too optimistic but I would really like to see an organization
started that had a name like "The Recreational Freedom Coalition" that
wouldn't necessariliy fight for any particular group's issues but would
fight for all of our freedoms to enjoy these recreational activities, and
would keep us all informed of what the other guys are up against. I would
love to write my congressman about the freedoms that are being taken away
from the fisherman in my area if they would help with aviation issues. The
problem is that I don't know what is going on in fishing because I am not a
fisherman. Maybe fisherman don't have any of these problems but that is not
the point.
The reason that the TSA attacks small airplane pilots is because there are
not enough of us. They know they can't restrict the Airlines because that
would affect too many people and as such would not be politically feasible.
I suspect that there are other groups that have the same problem and if we
pulled together then we would have the numbers to scare these dictator
wannabes away.

Sounds like a great idea - you're hired! Seriously, I would suggest you forward
this - either via email or phone call - to AOPA (and perhaps EAA) to see if they
have ever considered such an approach. It seems to have merit to me, but there
may be reasons we don't know about that something like this doesn't already
exist. If so, AOPA/EAA may have some insight. If not, then they MAY have some
interest in participating/leading??? You never know until you ask.

You don't want me to be president. I am far too lazy and far too obsessed
with building my airplane to be effective. I would think the best way for
this thing to come together would be for the existing alphabet organizations
to create it. I will send Boyer a note today however and make a suggestion.
We are all members of the AOPA right?????!!!!!!!

Personally I think a "Missing Man" formation over the field, once a day or

freedom, would be both more appropriate and better PR.

I to used the backing strips and Lexel to mount my rear window. IMHO the
backing strips give a more finished look. I mounted the window and strips
with cleco's and then masked to the edge with masking tape. Then mounted the
window with aluminum pop rivets. The tape made a nice parting line for the
Lexel. A heads up on Lexel, it tacks up pretty quick so you have to work
fast.

Haven't mounted them yet, but they work pretty well- self-contained, AA battery
powered (change @ annual) and finished like a little maglite- somebody else on
the list mentioned them a couple of months ago- the yellow ones with black case
are still just $16 ea.

This is another compelling reason why Meigs should not have been closed.
Apr 3, 2003 15:20 ET
Illinois Air Medical Community Stunned Over Closing of Meigs and The
Implications on Critical Patient Transport into Downtown Chicago Hospitals
CHICAGO, April 3 /PRNewswire/ -- The Illinois Association of Air and
Critical Care Transport (IAACCT) and its members are extremely concerned
over the recent closing of Meigs Field and how it will affect the movement
of critically ill/injured patients into (and possibly out of) downtown
Chicago hospitals. Until Sunday, patients have been airlifted into Meigs by
helicopter and/or fixed-wing aircraft and then transported a short distance
by ground to area hospitals. Now, with the closure of Meigs, there are no
approved landing zones or helipads in the immediate downtown area.
The state's 11 air-medical helicopter and fixed-wing programs transport an
average of 200 complex medical and/or trauma patients, as well as organ
transplant teams, to hospitals in the downtown area each year from outlying
hospitals throughout Illinois, parts of Wisconsin and northwestern Indiana.
According to Craig Felty, President of IAACCT, "The patients we transport
are time-critical, complex cases that demand the time-saving and advanced
clinical care that an air-medical crew provides. Without an approved
landing area in close proximity to downtown, whether it is for a helicopter
or a fixed-wing aircraft, the patients may now have to be transported
greater distances by ground from a suitable landing area. In my opinion,
these potential delays definitely could have a negative impact on patients
destined for downtown facilities."
Another concern of IAACCT is the air transport of patients out of the city
of Chicago. An example of the need to rapidly transport patients out of
downtown facilities would include situations involving catastrophic
injuries or illnesses affecting the city. Air-medical helicopters and
fixed-wing aircraft could provide rapid transport of patients to other
facilities to reduce censuses, open up needed beds, and free up valuable
resources at downtown hospitals. Meigs Field provided an excellent facility
for this sort of disaster, allowing safe, efficient, and rapid access by
multiple aircraft.

So, in other words, the Mayor has probably decreased the security of Chicago
citizens in the face of a terrorist attack, in the name of Homeland Security.
Good one.

Here is yet another chance to publicly voice your displeasure, this time directed
at the mayor of Chicago.
Since fewer than 700 pilots bothered to go on record for the OTHER issue of late,
I really do not anticipate a sea change in attitude this time either. But
hope does spring eternal. Follow the link.

Subject: wear something RED on Friday.
It has come to my attention that quite a few Americans support
our troops but as usual we are the silent majority. We are not
organized to really reflect who we are. I would like to start a grass roots
movement using the membership of the Special Operations Association and the
Special Forces Association to recognize Americans who support our troops.
My idea is not to stand on street corners once or twice,
not to carry stupid signs in a rally, not to carry our flag in parades.
Its much simpler than that. We need to inform the local VFW's and American
Legion, our local press, local TV, and even up to the national levels as we
start to get this going. My idea of showing our solidarity and support for
our troops is that starting Friday and continuing on each and every Friday,
that
we and every red blooded American who supports our young men and women,
Word of mouth, press, TV, lets see if we can make the United States, on any
given Friday, a sea of red much like a home football game at the University
of
Nebraska. If everyone of our memberships share this with other
acquaintances, fellow workers, drinking buddies, country club friends, I
guarantee you that it will not be long before the USA will be covered in Red
much to the disdain of the the un-American ralliers.
Lets get the word out and lead by example, wear RED on Fridays.
Thanks for your time and consideration of my proposal. When I get home, I
intend
to send this out to everyone on my e-mail list, hopefully, you will too.

I turned some ivory vinyl siding (left-overs from house work) to make a
bunch of 9/16" dia. washers and used them instead of the aluminum strip.
Each washer is sandwiched between the plexi and a -6L washer with a #6
low-profile nylock nut. Looks very neat. I also used the -6L washers and #6
low-profile nylocks along the tip-up sides. They weigh less than the UHMW
strips supplied in the kit and I tightened the screws just enough so that
the nuts can still be rotated by hand.
Question. I know that vinyl is very subject to out-gassing of solvents. I also
know that plexiglass is very touchy about a plethora of different chemicals.
Does anyone know if this idea presents any risk to the canopy over time?

I sincerely apologise for posting this, but..
I have not heard a single person speak out against the troops. Not now,
not during GW-1, not once in my lifetime (I was born after Vietnam, so I
can't speak for people in that era) have I ever heard any American express
any sentiments against the troops. I especially have not heard a 'vocal
majority' who are against our military personnel.
Many of us think that the war is terrible foriegn policy, comic book
diplomacy, and that it is destructive to the reputation of our fine
country both at home and abroad.
I think I can easily say, however, that all of us to a one support our
troops, feel that they are the finest military personnel in the world,
both in terms of courage, and in terms of training, equipment and ability.
We want our men and women to stay safe and do a good job.

On the RV-7, and the plans call for using an "MS21045-5 ALL METAL LOCK NUT"
on the bolts that attach the main gear to the engine mount. Makes perfect
sense, since I was always told not to use nylon self-locking nuts
firewall-forward.
Problem is, the kit didn't come with any of these all-metal nuts, and the
kit came explicitly with AN365-524 nuts in their place (bag 918: "ENG/LG HW
(6,7)").
I haven't spoken to Van's about this, but what's the concensus about
this...use the nylock nuts or go with the all-metal lock nuts? I actually
would have thought castellated nuts would be used here, but what do I
know...
Any advice?
Thanks in advance,
