This East Coast-er and wife are planning to visit friends in San Diego sometime
in the near future. I tried searching this List for recommended i.e. jaw-dropping
scenic routings through the Divide, but did not see much there. Maybe my
search words, I don't know.....Anybody want to offer their experiences? Looking
for a southern route Texas to Dan Diego and maybe a return northern CA through
Colorado. Thank you all.

If you have no experience with mountain flying getting some would help.
You should understand leaning for take-off at higher altitudes and in cruise,
impact of high winds as they cross the mountains, lenticular clouds,
rotors, crossing ridges/passes and having O2 is important as well.
Also note that using sea level ground speed as a flare indicator at our
airports can be bad. Use normal airspeed (ground speed will be higher).
Thus take-off and landing distances are much higher than at sea level.
AOPA supposedly has a course online.
The good thing is that RVs do well here compared to Cessnas

There are some practicalities of oxygen, but assuming that is not a
factor...
I can't say much about crossing the Great Plains - lots of the same.
But it is a great place for some low flying and brushing up on ground
reference maneuvers. We enjoy just popping in to little towns and
checking out the mid-west culture. Real America...
I would plan to fly to Durango, CO. They have the Silver Train (or used
to). Great views crossing the Rockies. The airport at Farmington NM.
has a great Mexican restaurant - and I am a connoisseur. But be careful
on the hot sauce - they make it hot there. I like it, but I am
accustomed to it.
On to San Diego, you can see Ship Wreck Rock (used as backdrop in many
TV commercials). I would swing north to the southern edge of the Grand
Canyon. Land at Grand Canyon Airport (high, but the RV will do it
fine).
Coming home, I would fly up the California coast, low, checking out the
wonder seascapes (sun sets over the water here). Fly along Big Sur to
land at Monterey, CA. Maybe head north to fly over the Golden Gate
Bridge (watch out for Class Bravo Airspace).
I live at Lake Tahoe - it is a beautiful lake and worth the stop. We
have two airports - TVL and TRK. Both are suitable, but high. TRK is
the easier. I hangar at RNO.
I would try to take in Canyon Lands National Park in Utah on the way
back. Again, wonderful land forms.
Next on up to Boise area and over to Jackson WY or West Yellowstone
(closed for winter). There are some wonderful obsidian flows that are
ONLY seen from the air. This route takes you over Grand Tetons park. I
highly recommend Yellowstone, best seasons are early spring/late fall
when kids are in school but no snow on ground. We love the last week in
September.
Flying eastbound is pretty easy from Jackson. The land is lower and
flatter, but not without weather.
Another stop along the way is Mt Rushmore (Rapid City). It is a bit of
a drive from the airport, but kind of interesting.
Hope this helps. If you use any of it, I would appreciate feedback and
pix on your return.

Depending upon your desires, you could come back by any of these places:
Sedona AZ, Meteor Crater, Shiprock NM, Monument Valley Utah then east and up
over the Great Sand Dunes (CO)
then you are almost to the prairie. You can go further north to fly over
more mountains
where the terrain can be beautiful but not great for landing. While in the
area you could
go to Leadville (LHX) and around Pikes Peak

Hey Bob,
As an airline pilot, the route between San Diego and just south of Pueblo,
CO. is wonderful, passing by the south side of the Grand Canyon just north
of Flagstaff. Draw a line on a chart or atlas for that matter and look at
all the sights you could pass on that route. I just had the pleasure of
flying that, but way up high, and all I could think about was wanting to be
down low getting a closer look.
Have Fun,
Paul

Pick up Rinker Buck's "Flight of Passage" for their routing in the Cub and
then return via northern CA and Northern UT (I-80) then up to Rapid City (I-90)
and east from there. This is a great view of the USA.

While others have made suggestions, most of which involve some mountain
flying, etc. I get the impression you are looking for route you don't need
to rent oxyen pack and get a crash course (pun sorta intended) in mountain
flying. While your aircraft is very capable, you may want to get
experience gradually.
If that is what you want...you can either pickup I10 in west Texas to El
Paso and then follow it to Casa Grande, then follow I-8 to SandyEgo. Or
you can pickup I-40 in Amarillow and follow it across NM to Kingman or
thereabouts and then head south to MYF or whatever field you select.
For the return, head towards Sacramento, and pickup I-80 and follow it
home. Cautions...in the west there are a lot of restricted areas that are
frequently hot, with stuff like F-16s and similar birds doing live
practice. There are also lots of MOAs that you can fly through, but advise
you be on the controlling agency freq to know if they are hot.
Amarillo has a prohibited area just NE of town. 99% of the time you cannot
get permission through the White Sands Missle Range restricted area, and
the terrain is very mountainous anyway. If you follow those interstates
you will stay clear of military areas and can do the whole route below
10K. However, watch out for winds aloft and turbulence over the Sierras
along I-80. If the wind is blowing you need to either wait, or be willing
to go to well up into the teens to get above the mechanical turbulence,
lenticulars and rotor clouds. As for fuel stops, Airnav is your friend.

ok Dana, I will have to ask. What is an A2G? What was it in? And are you
saying it will not fit in a A due to some sort of bottom obtrusion that
interferes with the nose wheel?

Anyway I checked the archive and there were no messages all afternoon. After

Yes, Durango still has the train, Durango to Silverton. Won't be running
the full route 'till May or so.
The restaraunt in Farmington is closed (darn it).
For a flat lander without mountain flying experience (airline flying,
even from the front seat, does not count), I would say fly to Las Vegas,
NM, then west from there. Or, go farther south along I-10 over El Paso,
etc. Do not fly over the higher mountains in the spring, the winds will
kick your ass. Every year we loose flat landers around here.
Good luck, John

--> RV-List message posted by: Jim Bean <jim-bean@att.net>
Listers,
A friend advised me not to full stall land an RV-8. He says that the
elevator gets blanked when full flaps are used so he only wheel lands
his plane. What say ye.
Jim Bean
First flight soon.

| Subject: | Craftsman Compressor Help |
--> RV-List message posted by: "Mike Kraus" <n223rv@wolflakeairport.net>
I have a Craftsman Compressor that is convertible from 110V to 220V.
The compressor says "see manual for wiring diagram" but of course the
manual has no wiring information.
I called Sears and they were no help either. I have done some internet
searches, and others have had similar issues, but were able to find a
wiring schematic on the motor. Mine has no wiring diagrams on it
anywhere. It is a GE Motor.
Does anyone have a Craftsman compressor that is convertible from 110V to
220V? If so, can you look on the motor and see if there is any wiring
schematic for changing to 220V?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
-Mike Kraus

Mike,
A lot of times the wiring schematic is on the back of the wiring box cover.
If not, get me the GE P/N and I can probably help you out.
