Eagle Neck (1GA0) is located half way between Savannah and St. Simons Island on
the Georgia coast. All aircraft types are welcome.
We have 3 flying and two RV projects on the field. Email rsipp@earthlink.net for

Neil, thanks for the reality check. Of course my point was not so much
grousing about the fact that we are taxed on purchases, but that many
builders like myself were not aware of what our different states' laws
are regarding collection of same. I know you blokes also have to pay
upwards of $3.50 U.S. per gallon for petrol. You need an old fashioned
taxpayer uprising (revolt) over there! Ooops! They took all your guns
away too, didn't they. You do, of course have the benefit of those
social programs that all that tax money enables, so I guess it comes out
even. ;-) If I were starting my project today, I'd opt for the
"pay-as-you-go" option, since it doesn't smart so much when taken from
you a little at a time. Good luck with your 9A project. Perhaps one
day our steeds will meet in (simulated) combat over Great Dunmow. . .
hmmm. . .long range tanks?? Perhaps on the -10. Cheers!

Well here in Canada, (British Columbia) we only pay 14.5% tax, they took all
the guns away, but only from the honest people, and at just over $4 per
gallon gasoline is under its Kyoto Accord target price of $5. So all is
well, or so I thought. Then guess what, yesterday I discovered that my
Credit Union has been ripping me off by charging an undisclosed Foregin
Currency Surcharge on my Mastercard. A Vans tax!
Canadians Heads Up - check your credit card bills for the currency exchange
rate on your U.S purchases against the Bank of Canada exchange rates.
http://www.bank-banque-canada.ca/en/exchange-look.htm
Envision Credit Union here in Langley B.C. has been adding an undisclosed 2
to 3 % to their Mastercard exchange rate.
Example - during a recent visit I made purchases at Vans for $94.62 US and
put it on my Mastercard for convenience. Mastercard U.S. billed my local
Credit Union Mastercard $131.71 CAD at the going exchange rate. Envision
Credit Union bumped my charge up to $135.78 CAD. Had I known about this
undisclosed charge I could easily have paid for these items with cash
obtained at a better exchange rate.
I have purchased a lot of U.S. goods on Mastercard because I believed that
due to their large volume of exchange transactions that they had a good
exchange rate, and yes the Mastercard exchange rate, Company to Company is
better than the Bank of Canada exchange rate, at least in this one example I
checked. Where the robbery occured is the hidden Foreign Currency Surcharge
added by my local credit union. Not all financial institutions do this, so
be aware, it affects the cost of your RV!

Rick,
The GPS Antenna supplied with my UPS SL-60 measures 3.5" x 2.25" x .75"
not counting the connector. The antenna sits flush on its mounting
surface with the connector on the bottom of the antenna and extending
through a hole in the mounting surface. The measurements above are for
the mounted antenna.
Suggestion: Go to the nearest model hobby shop and buy a large model
airplane engine mount. The mount is plastic fiber and weighs about an
ounce. Cost is probably less than $10. Install the mount on your
firewall and bolt a piece of aluminum sheet (.032 or as desired) where
the model engine would be installed. The aluminum sheet should be just
wide enough to cover the model engine mounts and can be of whatever
length you need to extend the antenna away from your firewall. The GPS
antenna can be installed on the aluminum sheet. Quick, easy, lightweight
and looks professional.

Related, but different -
I was planning on using the stock ant that came with the Garmin 196 (any
reason why I shouldn't?), and mounting it on the glare shield. Only
problem is the plug at the end is rather large, maybe 1/2" in diameter.
So I'll have to drill a big hole in the glare shield to pass it through.
Any way to avoid this? Disassemble? Splice? Something else?
Thanks,
-

George that's amazing, I'd be looking for another Credit Union. When I
travel overseas it is almost universally known that using a credit card
will get you a better exchange rate because the card companies can take
advantage of "the float". Every credit card statement I've received after
traveling out of the US listed a better exchange rate than I could get with
cash at the time of the transaction.

Nothing lucky about it - many brave folks have died to protect freedom.
Taxes are forced labor, otherwise known as slavery, the opposite of
freedom. We either wake up here in the US or end up like our brethren
across the border to the north or across the pond. The silent majority
needs to start talking more.
Flying is something the tax and spenders would love to eliminate; this
is called the politics of envy.

Think your selves lucky. We in England pay tax at 17.5%.
Sorry list I absolutely can't let this one go.
I'm an expat Englishman living in the Peoples Republic of Gray Davis, (hopefully
not for his for much longer).
The 17.5% tax that Neil refers to is the iniquitous Value Added Tax which is incorporated
into the price of, (almost), all purchases in the UK. I believe this
began as a 2.5% tax and has been raised by the government progressively without
any vote on it by the electorate to the present level. Since it is hidden
in prices rather than being added at the time of sale it is very easy to forget
about it and this coupled with the government ability to impose increases
at any time, without a general vote, high tax levels are assured.
WE ARE NOT LUCKY!!!
I think we ARE overtaxed - just not as badly as the Brits have allowed their politicians
to do to them! We must very strenuously resist any attempts to introduce
similar taxes here and we should make it tougher to raise any other type
of tax as well. 2/3rds majority votes etc.
England now has an additional layer of expensive European bureaucrats controlling
increasingly more domestic issues each year. God help us if the UN are ever
allowed to do the same for the US of A.
Oh yes, I almost forgot. Neil, it might be time to toss some tea in the harbour!
Absolutely DO NOT ARCHIVE these rantings from a conservative dinosaur.

I searched the archives but could find out anything regarding the WD-421 Aileron
bell crank bushing. The plans call the bushing out but don't give a part number
or I'm just blind and don't see it.
Do I need to fabricate this bushing or is it part of the kit? Anyone know the part
number?

Karie, I believe you will find two pieces of brass tubing in one of the
bags. You will have to ream the inside diameter with a 1/4" reamer. Other
than that, the two brass bushings are ready to go. Just check that the
length of the bushings is about 1/32" longer than the bellcrank so that when
you tighten the 1/4" bolt you compress the bushing and not the bellcrank.
