| Subject: | Day Trip: Antelope Canyon, Page Arizona |
--> RV-List message posted by: Ron Lee <ronlee@pcisys.net>
Last week I made a stop at Antelope Canyon which is a slot canyon
15 minutes southeast of Page Arizona. The swirls and different views
at every turn are beautiful. So yesterday I flew from Meadow Lake (00V)
to Page (PGA) to photograph both Upper and Lower Antelope Canyon.
The trip out was at 16,500' and took 3 hours due to some headwinds.
I was late leaving but fortunately I gained an hour since Page is on
standard time. I drove out Hwy 98 towards the power plant and turned
right into the parking lot for the Upper canyon and made a reservation for
noon to get the light rays. The $6 Navajo park fee was good for all day
and both canyons. Then I drove across the road to the lower canyon.
The good thing about the lower canyon is that you can do it unguided and
the $15 fee is good for four fours versus one hour at the upper canyon.
The lower canyon requires more adventurous spirit since it involves some
steep steps, and areas that you can't even put a foot on sand between the two
walls. Regardless it is worth doing first since you can get your technique
down before you do the upper canyon. Since the slot canyon opening
is wider than the upper canyon, I am guessing that the best time is before
or after noon. The following links are three examples of the pics I took
yesterday.

The upper canyon, also known as Corkscrew, has a few pics (perhaps
not my best) below. One does show the light rays that are likely best
just around noon. We did not get there until 12:50 standard time and it
was too late. These are from last Monday:

Photo tips
1) Tripod
2) Cable release or camera timer
3) Expect exposures for ISO 200 and F/2.8 to be around 3 seconds.
It can be less from bright areas and much higher for darker areas.
Bracket exposures.
4) Wide angle lens. My camera is supposedly 35 mm equivalent.
The trip back was at 17,500' and ground speed 220-230 mph much of
the trip (great tailwind!).
There are groups that will do better photo tours. The one I used Monday
was at www.antelopecanyon.com

| Subject: | OT - AOPA donation-solicitation phone calls |
--> RV-List message posted by: "Folbrecht, Paul" <PFolbrecht@starkinvestments.com>
Anybody else getting phone calls urging a donation to AOPA's ASF? Since
I normally don't pickup a call from an area code I don't recognize, I
let the first few go to voicemail. Of course, no messages were left.
Today, I picked up, and, after listening patiently for awhile, politely
declined to make a donation. After two more subsequent "Sorry, can't
help out right now" (my rule is to never give money as a result of an
unsolicited phone call), a hangup was required.
I've been an AOPA member for about four years now and haven't had to
deal with an unsolicited money-grab call before. They'll be getting an
email from me. I'm personally about 100x more likely to give money to
an org that doesn't insult me with such a call. If it happens again
I'll be extremely displeased with them.
Ok. Done venting.

Yesterday at Hicks Airport, Ft. Worth, I see that PARKS, THOMAS W JR crashed on
takeoff. Substantial damage to the plane but none to him. The latter being
great news. What the heck happened?

--> RV-List message posted by: <erichweaver@cox.net>
Greetings
Im at the point in construction of my RV-7A where I need to starting thinking about
registration and the DAR signoff. I have been delaying registration since
I know it will trigger a request for tax money from the state (California).
EAA says to allow 3-6 months for registration paperwork to go through the system.
What kind of time frame have others experienced?
thanks
Erich Weaver

I'm not familiar with Kalifornyah aircraft tax laws, but in 'Bama
putting off aircraft registration will just increase the interest and
penalties for not making timely sales and use tax payments.
It's much better to pay taxes as the project is purchased in order to
avoid the tax, interest, and penalties just as you are finishing up the
project.

| Subject: | firewall eyeball pass through hole |
--> RV-List message posted by: <erichweaver@cox.net>
I did three of these last weekend on my RV-7A using one of the larger Irwin unibits
that I was able to get off e-bay for about $23. The unibit made it through
the stainless firewall ok on the first hole, but the 2nd and 3rd holes were
tougher and I had to go slow with some short breaks to keep the temperature
down as the holes got big. Another thing you can do in a pinch, is use a slightly
undersized unibit (Costco in my area had them for up to 1 inch diameter)
if thats all thats available locally and finish it off by grinding with a Dremel.
A circle template is usefull to guide your grinding in this case.
You might be able to oversize your hole slightly, but not very much, as there really
isnt that much overlap by the eyeball fitting.
Good luck

Mine took about 4-5 weeks. I paid my sales (use tax) each year that I
purchased my kits and engine. Once you register it does trigger the
start of property tax for each year.

Guys: I am looking for a glass panel for my in-progress -9A. I am
interested in three models, the GRT EFIS Horizon I with EIS 4000, The
Advanced Flight Systems AF 3500 Combo, and the Dynon FlightDEK-D180. Anyone
have any experience with these units, good or bad? Also, I committed for an
autopilot today, I need the servos before closing the wings, the True Track
Digitflight IIVS. Any thoughts? Thanks, Dan
