While not as properly gramatical, I think this is the way the acronym was first coined. It comes originally, if I am not mistaken, from the Robert Heinlein classic "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress". See http://www.jargon.net/jargonfile/t/TANSTAAFL.html for more information if you are curious. So much for todays science fiction history lesson. :) -- Dwight do not archive ... please .... as it has NOTHING to do with RVs ... :) ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 06:11:31 AM PST US From: "Jim Thorne" Subject: Re: RV-List: Re: Blended Airfoil 72" vs. 74" (I have the answer, kind-a) --> RV-List message posted by: "Jim Thorne" I had to goggle that one.

We also have an old junk courtesy car on a first come first serve basis.. Restaurants and Motels are about a mile down the street. Tent camping is ok and you can put up over night in the admin building if you want.

Getting to town and back was nearly as exciting as departing OSH 2005. :-) Seriously, Phil's home airport is a fine stop, and the car did a great job of wallowing to lunch and back. The occasional backfire blended right in with the, uh, tailwinds the four occupants were producing, and the fact the windows had to be sorta rolled/slid down was a bonus. Fuel prices were the best we found in the area. I'll probably stop again for OSH 2006.

According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TANSTAAFL The correct acronym is the latter, my mistake, but the meaning is the same and very true.

I have had no problems with the KX-125 nav or comm features. Jeff John Allen wrote: --> RV-List message posted by: John Allen Jeff,=0D=0A=0D=0AI'm working on a similar issue. I'm adding a KN-73 and a KI-209 to my KX-125. I'm afraid I don't have the documents yet either, but I do have some questions.=0D=0A=0D=0AWhen you hooked the KX-125 up to the HSI, did you lose any functionality in the KX-125. Are you still able to get a digital bearing from the VOR while simultaneously driving the CDI in the HSI. You can respond to me off-list if you'd like at fliier@altrionet.com=0D=0A=0D=0ABTW, the avionics guy told me that the KN-73 will have to be "tuned" once it is integrated into the system. Apparently that is not true of the newer KN-75. I bought the GS Receiver some time ago so I'm going down that path, but if you haven't. . .=0D=0A=0D=0AThanks,=0D=0A=0D=0AJohn Allen=0D=0ARV-6A=0D=0A=0D=0ADo Not Archive=0D=0A************=0D=0AFrom: Jeff Bertsch =0D=0A=0D=0A--> RV-List message posted by: Jeff Bertsch =0D=0A=0D=0AI am adding a KN-73 to provide glideslope info to my KX-125 and Century HSI (NSD=0D=0A1! 000). . . --------------------------------- Bring photos to life!
