Congratulations Jim, I'll bet you didn't get any sleep last night. Very
rewarding after all those years of thinking, riveting, etc. I still have
another year (or so) to go. Maybe we will see you in Medicine Hat one of
these days.

... it's a bird! It's a plane! Yes, by golly, it IS a plane!
Announcing the first flights of C-GIIG (Gigi) today, Feburary 17, 2007.
Gigi flies straight and true, with just a few small adjustments to do.
Many
thanks to all our friends for their support and help during the (less than)
10 year process. Only 9 years and 11 months to get her in the air!
Also many thanks to Chuck Ross for the test flights and faith in the girl.
The matronics lists played a big roll in making this dream a reality.
Thanks to you all,
Jim and Chris

| Subject: | What pop rivet does Van's static port kit use |
Listers,
Can somebody tell me what pop rivet Vans includes in their static port
kit? It looks like an SB-42-BSLF, but I'm not sure.
Thanks,
Tim Lewis

| Subject: | Center cabin cover |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This may sound like newbie questions, but lately simple things seem to get complicated.
When drilling through the floors stiffners in the the center cabin cover(my
instructions say 981, plans say 982, typo?) what is the edge distance for
the hole? Is 5/16ths of an inch OK? And the plans say 15/16th's of an inch
between the floor skin to the inside surface of the cover. Mine, with the cover
sitting on the stiffner is 1", am I just lucky or and am I reading the plans
wrong?

| Subject: | Re: pilot's family awarded $10.5M |
First off let me say that I agree with Bob that knowledge of the facts
is necessary to make an informed decision about these things and I
appreciate the diligent work he put into finding and reporting this
info. We in experimental aviation are as vulnerable to a Salem witch
hunt as anyone and I hope we get the same consideration of the facts
before someone burns us at the stake.
But I strongly disagree about the "message" the jury was sending. My
guess in this case (as in thousands of others) is that they took the
easy way out. If they had found for the defense they would have to face
the grieving widow and children and send them away with nothing. It was
apparent that the plaintiff's attorney went to great lengths to paint
this picture in detail. Some faceless (to the jury anyway) corporation
would have to pay so there was no down-side for the jury in finding in
favor of the plaintiff.
Let's not attribute any phony collective wisdom to this jury.
Politicians and celebrities can't afford to say what they often know to
be the truth. Fortunately, I do have that luxury. John Q. Public is
often a cowardly empty headed slavering beast who will sacrifice reason
and truth for any number of petty reasons.

I think that's a very good point. I think the message of the jury is
if you contract for services, your obligation and liability doesn't end
when you sign the contract. At that point, as near as I can tell, the
EAA/NWEAA couldn't just say "it's *their* problem now. Apparently the
EAA/NWEAA had an obligation to make sure that the standard of services
was appropriate. I believe there was a section in the testimony where
the fly-in director didn't know what level of services were provided,
and I think the court was saying that she should have. Again, I'm not
saying I agree with this; I'm not saying I don't agree with it. For one
thing, I don't live in Washington State and it's up to the people who do
to change the law if this is, indeed, the case and they find it
inappropriate.
I suspect that other states would look at this differently. Others
would look at it similarly.
To the extent that this makes holding a fly-in impossible, I don't
know. If the court's ruling was as indicated above, and if the failure
of the NWEAA/EAA to check on what fire services were provided, and if
the case hinges on that fact, then some protection, I suppose, from
similar suits could be found by knowing what services were being
provided, knowing the standard of service that is required, and then
comparing the two and if something needs to be done to make them square,
do it.

Jeffery,
You are missing something very real in this case. The experts were
the City of Arlington and they got excused. Instead the EAA and NWEAA
are being made to answer for it. This is entirely wrong in spite of the
whole case being riddled with crap. If the experts are supposed to be
help to a standard of knowing what they are doing and we then excuse
them from any liability for not then what is their motive to better
their actions? Unfortunately when you sue the City, you sue us and is
the reason they get excused. Maybe that shouldn't be.

Maybe. But part of the problem is the law itself and while we might be able
to ignore elements of it we find rather distasteful, a jury doesn't have
that luxury. That's why I think the instructions to the jury are so very
important.

Well I finally did it! About 3pm today I got to fly my plane. It was
great, it flew great, it performed great and everything seemed to work
fine the first flight. Second flight the oil temp probe stopped working
and I played with the nav side of the SL30 without much luck, but I need
to read the book to find out exactly how it works. I'm off tomorrow and
will fly some more.

Congrats Bobby! As I like to say, Welcome to the "minority." ;-)
SL30 -- there's a calibration procedure you have to go through for the SL30
to work with the CDI/resolver properly. Installation manual...page 34...

Not sure this was answered...
Cheap fuel in San Diego???
ha ha ha ha ha ha
Best in So Cal is usually L35, Big Bear, but is high altitude airport with
some winds so bone up on mountain flying. Restaurant is OK but Thelmas up
the road two blocks is better. unicom freq changed recently.
Otherwise Corona or Flabob, both with OK restaurants
CRQ is in Carlsbad
MYF is closest to SAN, (Other than SAN)
SEE is most RV friendly and RV populated
SDM is EAA Ctp 14 home base
OKB is just north of Carlsbad fuel is OK usually
