I think that if there were no AOPA, or a similar organization, our right to fly our GA aircraft would be severely curtailed, or eliminated. I think their dues are a bargain, for what they provide us. They're not perfect, but who or what is? They say they have over 400,000 members, which is excellent. Anyone know what percentage are flying or building homebuilt aircraft? I'd guess it's pretty small, say 20,000(?) They've got to keep as many of their members as happy as possible with their magazine and expos. Defending the right to fly is the one thing that is common amongst us all, whether we are flying a homebuilt or a personal jet. We all need to stand together to defend our freedom and liberty. I'm not worried about a "terrorist" taking my freedom and liberty, I'm worried about my government doing it! -- Mickey Coggins http://www.rv8.ch/ #82007 finishing do not archive

Every publication, web page etc is filled with 50% content of "Phil Boyer says" Phil Boyer does" etc. I think there is a rule that every simple sentence must mention Phil Boyer 7 times. 2. Unsolicited phone calls during the evening as mentioned some peskier than others. 3. Their seeming lack of support for experimentals. Having said all that they will continue to recieve my support as they do a good service for all of us.

    call --> RV-List message posted by: "Ed Anderson" <eanderson@carolina.rr.com> I once offered to write an article for AOPA on the use of alternative engines in aircraft - absolutely no interest, said their readership was not interested - which clearly pointed out that I for one did not belong in an organization that had no interest in my interest. EAA has certainly slipped far down the Commercial slope and should really changed its name from the EAA or at least take the "E" out. Having said that, I support it simply because I do believe that without the EAA and AOPA our freedom to fly would have been even more seriously curtailed ( than has occurred). I do feel we must all be vigilant against the FAA's attempt to levy "users fees". We paid taxes to support the government and its agencies, we should not be taxed again simply to compensate for bureaucratic inefficiency and mismanagement.

The "list" is just a bunch of faceless, unknown typwriters somewhere off in the distance. Each of these typewriters (ok I'll say computers) has a personality (person) connected to it.. Keep in mind that for each posting, there may be 200 or 300 readers (lurkers) who read the post, agreed with it, and did not replay. We as pilots quite often don't agree with each other, but we should still stick together. We need to get as connected as firemen and COP's for our own survival. Those two groups have real fraternity. I'm sure they have disagreements, but they stick together. We as pilots tend to have "high" ego's. Whatever we have, we need to stick together, stop snitching on one another and become a Fraternity...... Flame me, I got skin that is 66 years old and tough as sandpaper... Phil in Illinois Oh, I met Linn Walters at the Curtis Pitts memorial in Sun and Fun. Now, he is not a faceless computer any more.......... Real fine person... Helpful and full of good answers...

    Subject: Parting out your homebuilt (was AOPA hates homebuilts?)
    --> RV-List message posted by: "John Helms" <jhelms@nationair.com> In my professional opinion, parting it out doesn't get you what you're after. It merely spreads the risk around. If you sell the wings to one individual, he/she puts them on their plane and they fail, you might be sued over that. They may not win, but they can always sue. Same for the engine, fuselage, etc, etc. Hold harmless agreements might be useful. I'll allow attorney's to discuss that. In my humble opinion, the very best thing that a seller can do to alleviate the amount of liability any type of airplane owner has when selling a plane is to is have a third party do an annual on the plane as the pre-buy inspection. That way, a third party has signed his name to attest that the plane is airworthy. Lawsuits after an airplane has been sold happen. There just has not yet been one for what you all are discussing (poor building). If a person buys a plane (production or experimental) and the engine quits shortly after the purchase, whether someone is hurt in the subsequent landing/crash there will very likely be a lawsuit against the former owner for poorly maintaining the plane. As the builder of an experimental aircraft, one is always likely to have some risk of being sued, but the longer that the plane has been successfully flown (by both you when you owned it, and after it was sold) the harder that is going to be to win for someone claiming it was "built poorly" because "if it was built so poorly then why did it successfully fly XXXX hours?" John "JT" Helms Branch Manager, NationAir Insurance Agency, Light Aircraft Office. In response to: I was once a AOPA guy 20 years ago but quit for several reasons. However I did recently hear that the "AOPA adviser" was claiming homebuilts are such a liability that if you sell one you should part it out. I just want to say there has NEVER been a lawsuit against any builder. Absolutly NO legal precedence. Sure we are liable for everything. Your dog bites someone you can go to jail. However if you get a lawyer to draw up a liability release, sometimes called a "hold harmless waiver", chance of lawsuit is slim. If you knowingly did not put the spar bolts in, or some other nonsense, yes you might have negligence problem. A safe RV, built to plans, not likely to be a problem. Again NEVER happened, no lawsuits and AOPA is WRONG if this is their claim. I would love someone else to write or ask the AOPA adviser the same question. Any way I don't think AOPA supports Kit planes or homebuilts because it is counter to there main customers aircraft manufactures and corporate operators. Just read their magazine.

Actually, the very fact that you can read so many different opinions is testament to the fact that the list does "tolerate" all points of view. Sure, there are some people with strong opinions (myself included, at times), and they'll be happy to show you where they differ from yours.

    Subject: RV legend Eustace Bowhay dies
    --> RV-List message posted by: "Konrad L. Werner" <klwerner@comcast.net> Dear RV'ers, We lost another legendary Aviator this week, Mr. Eustace Bowhay. RV legend Eustace Bowhay dies. Eustace died Tuesday of apparent complications from a stroke. "He joined the RV ranks in the 1990s by building C-HAY, a 180 hp RV-6 which he flew on wheels, floats and amphibious floats.

    Subject: Re: AOPA hates homebuilts? (was donation-solicitation phone
    calls) --> RV-List message posted by: "Dan Morrow" <DanFM01@butter.toast.net> "Never" is a big word. I can think of two lawsuits against builders just from casual reading of the news in the last few years. Lawsuit 1: In the John Denver crash, the newspapers reported that Denver's relatives sued several people including the builder. I don't know the outcome however. Lawsuit 2: This one was somewhat complicated involving several sales and owners. Step 1: Individual A builds aircraft and flies for several years. Sells aircraft to individual B. Step 2: B flies aircraft for several years and then sells aircraft to individual C. Step 3: C flies aircraft for several years. Then one day he takes a friend's wife for a ride and performs low level aerobatics in view of the husband. Crashes killing himself and friend's wife. Step 4: Husband sues individual A. Step 5: Individual A sues B. I don't know the outcome of the lawsuits. Homebuilders can be sued and are sued on liability issues. Three factors seem to limit the number of lawsuits however. One is that juries tend to be sceptical of claims from anyone who knowingly flies in a homebuilt aircraft. The second is that most builders don't have the big bucks to attract big name tort lawyers. The third is that the builder often dies in the accident and his family has no reason to sue. Lawsuits are a something to worry about. Even if you win the lawsuit the legal fees can be devastating. Avemco at one point offered converage for a year or two after the sale of a homebuilt, but I don't know if they still do. ----- Original Message ----- From: <gmcjetpilot@yahoo.com> Sent: Friday, April 21, 2006 1:05 AM Subject: RV-List: Re: AOPA hates homebuilts?

    Subject: Re: AOPA hates homebuilts? (was donation-solicitation phone
    calls) --> RV-List message posted by: Joseph Larson <jpl@showpage.org> Personally, I feel that anyone should be allowed to assume responsibility for any risk they choose. That is, if I buy a homebuilt, I should be able to assume the responsibility for making sure the homebuilt is safe to fly. If the plane proves to be unsafe, then any crash is my fault, not that of the actual builder. The caveat is that I should have ample opportunity and reason to verify safety. If I give a ride in my purchased homebuilt, it's not reasonable to expect the person taking the ride to hire a mechanic to first check out my plane. Thus, that person should hold me responsible. However, because I assumed responsibility, then the original builder should be free and clear. I know this isn't how it currently works. But it's how it SHOULD work. Write your congress people. They have the power to change the system. -Joe do not archive

    Subject: Update: Fuel Flow Transducer-Injected
    --> RV-List message posted by: Paul Besing <pbesing@yahoo.com> Pardon my ignorance on fuel injections, but here's how the routing goes: Fuel out of the firewall to servo. (I'm assuming the servo is where the mixture cable plugs into) There are two lines that go from the servo the to the divider (the thing on the sump where a carb would go, and where the spider is..the spider is on the bottom of my engine, not on the top like most). One fuel line to the left side, and one to the right (or from one side, as a return) Then there is a third line out of the servo back to the fuel selector or tee that fills the left tank. Not sure of the make..there is a data tag on it that I briefly read the other day but it wasn't anything familiar. There is a fuel pressure transducer from the original installation on one of the lines from the servo to the divider, so I'm assuming that's where I'll put my fuel flow.

    Subject: Re: Eustace Bowhay
    --> RV-List message posted by: "Konrad L. Werner" <klwerner@comcast.net> To Eustace: May you rest in Peace and fly on forever [Ed. This news hurts. The text below appears in this site's Safety section and was written several months back. Eustace was kind enough to host RVTalk #17. He passed away on Tuesday, apparently of complications from a stroke. The RV community has lost one of its giants and our hearts go out to the Bowhay family and friends. By Doug Reeves of www.vansairforce.com] This is for those of you that have never met him, but it is also for the one's that did have the priviledge . . . . "For RV pilots and builders who have never had the opportunity to meet Eustace Bowhay, here=92s a little background. Eustace is one of the few people around who=92ve accumulated over 20,000 hours of flying time without ever having a military or airline career. He spans aviation from before WW2 to the present day. His first flight, as a boy of 10 or 11, was in a Gypsy Moth over his native Saskatchewan. It=92s a great story...Eustace and his mother lived on a farm outside of town, and every weekend the weather permitted they=92d go into the city for supplies and a bit of recreation. He would spend part of his Saturday morning at piano lessons. Nothing in this world was going to make a pianist out of Eustace, but he went to please his mother and because she gave him a quarter so he could go to the movies after his lesson. Eustace soon discovered that the airport on the edge of town was far more interesting to him than any movie, so after his lesson he=92d go down and hang on the fence until it was time to go, just hoping to see an airplane fly. He=92d time it carefully so he could run back to town and meet his mother at the theatre...he knew she=92d never approve of something so dangerous as flying! After a few weeks of this, one of the local pilots on the other side of the fence motioned him over to a hangar and opened the back door. Completely awestruck, Eustace stepped through the door and into what was to become his world for a lifetime. In the hangar was a brand new Staggerwing, painted royal blue. Out in front, a pilot who needed to warm the oil in his Moth invited Eustace to occupy the front cockpit. Stricken to silence by his good fortune, Eustace pulled on a leather helmet and goggles and held on as the upright Gypsy engine rattled the Moth into the air. They flew out over the prairie and over Eustace=92s home. When they returned, Eustace realized he was late meeting his mother and dashed into town, maintaining a minimum altitude of about six inches the whole way. Without comment, he climbed into the car and home they went. At the dinner table that evening, his uncle casually mentioned that an airplane had circled the farm several times earlier in the day. Did Eustace know anything about that? Oh, no, Eustace said. He=92d been at piano lessons and the movies the whole day. Everyone at the table broke into laughter. When his mother handed him a mirror he saw why: the Gypsy had been spraying a fine mist back over the fuselage for the entire flight and the oily outline of the helmet and goggles was clearly printed on his face. He looked like a surprised raccoon. When Eustace tells this story, the memories of that day - more than seventy years ago now - are printed on his face as plainly as the outline of those goggles. He still remembers the smell of the paint and dope on the Staggerwing and the exhilaration of banking and seeing his home between the flying wires of the Moth. After that came flying and more flying. Eustace instructed thousands of students in the RCAF, some of whom died in combat just weeks later - he=92s never fully accepted that waste and a bit of grief is with him still. After the war he instructed thousands more, as well as flying Navions and Aeronca Champs and God knows what else away from the factories and back to Canada. Supported by his wife Nora, he formed his own company, providing charter air service all over the Canada and the Northern Territories. He flew and flew; in Aztec, in Cessnas, in Beavers and Otters. He acquired a P-51 from the Canadian government and flew it all over the country keeping an eye on his operations. He owned and flew a DC-3 for many years. He=92s got 9000+ hours of water operation...1000 hours of it in a Grumman Goose. He=92s landed parts of a bulldozer on the edge of the Arctic Ocean in a Beech 18, helped weld the machine back together and build a landing strip and watched the bulldozer leave, intact, in the hold of a Hercules that flew into the strip to retrieve it. And all the while, one of his primary concerns was keeping other pilots safe. He preached, cajoled, and extolled safe flying at every opportunity, bringing his vast experience to bear and distilling it to benefit the newest of pilots. We will never know just how many pilots are alive (and airplanes unbroken) because Eustace had a word with them, planting some seed of care and awareness that allowed them to avoid danger. He joined the RV ranks in the 1990s by building C-HAY, a 180 hp RV-6 which he flew on wheels, floats and amphibious floats. In the RV community he found many low time pilots venturing into the world of relatively high performance and became their mentor. At the factory, Van=92s people learned to listen carefully to the tall, white haired, slightly deaf Canadian fellow with the suspenders. There was a little "eh?" and a little "oot" in his speech, as well as a whole lot of humanity, wisdom and humor. Eustace and Nora have been to many of Van=92s Homecomings and many RV pilots have met and talked with them. If you=92ve ever had a chance to sit and talk with them, you=92ll have realized that you were in the presence of truly fine people Now recovering from a stroke in his hometown of Salmon Arm, British Columbia, Eustace is still pursuing his passion for helping pilots fly safely and skillfully. It is our incredibly good fortune that he's part of the RV world and that modern technology allows us to essentially sit around the campfire and listen to him pass on knowledge gained over a career that has spanned 70% of powered aviation. Don=92t miss the chance - there aren=92t many like him. Heck, there aren=92t any like him. Eustace is one of a kind." Arrangements (from a Ken Hoshowski email fwd'd to me) Just to let you know that the service gathering for Eustace will be this Saturday at 1:30 at Fischer's Funeral Services, 4060 1st. Ave S.W. Salmon Arm. Toll free phone 1-888-816-1117 This is going to be a tea only, a celebration of life service will be held at a later date in Eustace's home town in Alberta. Eustace's wife's name is Nora and the home address is #6-350 Hudson St. N.W, Salmon Arm B.C., V1E1P4, phone 250 832-3273. That is about all I can tell (you) for now. Ken Hoshowski RV6 C-FKEH Salmon Arm B.C.
