She has no problem getting on an airliner, but really does not want to fly in a "small" airplane. She's fine in helicopters, because she feels that the helicopter could land anywhere in case of trouble. I think it's a control thing. My wife likes to run things, but says she does not have the patience to learn all the things it takes to become a pilot, nor do all the preparation necessary to fly. She watches me prep for flights here on the kitchen table, and perhaps I'm making the process look a bit too complex. Thankfully, even though she does not care to participate, she's happy I'm doing something I enjoy. Same with the building.

My wife has always supported me in about anything I have ever done -- sometimes reluctantly! When I was watching the King videos about navigating, I said, "Come here and watch this, I want you to be able to help me navigate." She said, "Navigate? I'm going to be hanging on for dear life!" For the first few flights in our C-150 I did look over and see some white knuckles. What a sport! She is my best flying buddy now. For probably the first 2 years whenever someone would ask her if she liked flying she would reply, "It's getting better." When we were building the RV she was worried about going so fast. I told her that she wouldn't even know it, we'd just get there sooner. She seems to always question me! Well, by now she doesn't hesitate to suggest that we fly up to Chicago to see her grandson, or if I start acting bored, that we go for a ride in the RV. All I can say is be patient. She may come around. do not archive Regards, Dan Hopper RV-7A Flying -- still 144 hours (runway has been soggy!) ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 07:07:03 AM PST US From: John Huft Subject: Re: RV-List: Florida Gulf Coast Keys --> RV-List message posted by: John Huft Dana, on Cedar Key, the Dockside Motel, 800-541-5432. Get the corner room upstairs if you can (room 7 ???). Then, walk straight across the street for great seafood, on the balcony over the water.

I was just on the phone yesterday with a college friend's wife in her mid-50's who has refused to fly her entire life. She grew up in a isolated coastal town of Eureka, California and has lived her entire life there. Never had any reason to travel by plane so her fear matured over the years. Fast forward to this past January when cherished only child finishes college and married a guy from Mississippi two months ago that she met through the internet. Suitor's family owns a multi-generation family business of which he is becoming a part . . . never to leave Mississippi. My friend's wife cannot maintain her close relationship with her only child and hopefully upcoming grandchildren without flying back and forth from California to Mississippi. She bit the bullet and flew back for the wedding in January. She said she had white knuckles throughout the takeoff (luckily the death grip was on the seat, not my best friend from college's wrist), she had tears streaming down her cheeks by the time the jet reached altitude, but she says once the plane is cruising she didn't feel much anxiety at all. She is quite happy to know she can get through a flight after all. So . . . get your kids on the internet to marry someone far away. Motherly survival instinct will take over her fear of flying!

Am I the only "lucky" one who had to replace the pump? Lycoming told me it would take 6 weeks to get the refund. I wonder if and how much they will pay for the labor costs! Anyhow, if you received a new Lycoming engine in 2000 or so, you may want to check this out. Check this bulletin on Lycoming's web site. Yes, the FAA send me this service bulletin last year and I am thankful for that.

As it sits now, I have the C661 slide block installed and the frame into the C806 anchor block. When positioned fully forward, the frames front rollers roll up onto the WD814 roll bar plates. Is this OK? When the rollers travel onto the WD814 plate, it raises the canopy frame up a just a hair. Waiting for your reply to move forward. Paul Rice RV8
