    Subject: Prop Spinner Pattern
    I'm getting to the point where I need to cut out the spinner for my Hartzell C2YK-BF/F7666A-4 Prop. I've never done a cutout before, although this is my second RV-8 (My RV-8A spinner was cut out by Craig Catto) and I'm hoping that someone has a spinner pattern online or one they can mail me. The archives showed two folks who provided patterns - Bowhay and Ludvig. Of course, Bohay is deceased and I got a message that Ludvig's on line pattern is no longer available. So, anybody out there that can provide this info? It would be greatly appreciated. Walt Shipley RV-8A flying RV-8 still workin' P.S. The prop is a constant speed

    Actually, AOL bought Time Warner when AOL's stock was some of the most over valued out there. Now AOL itself is almost worthless and the TW people have taken back over. A good case study of how diversification can kill your core business is a utility out west (I forget which) that had some of the cheapest power in the country. They decided that fiber and communications was the promised land and began deploying fiber everywhere. The end result was the CEO was lynched and they ended up with some of the most expensive power in the country. Lesson is always remember your core business and diversify carefully in measured steps.

    Subject: How long does it take to sell RVs
    After posting a recent For Sale ad on the SoCAL and RV-List, it took only hours before I was contacted. A recent post made to the list indicates that these things sell pretty fast. What has been some others experience selling or buying an RV? I am looking to sell mine in the near future and would like to get an idea of what to expect.

Anyone who believes that a 'free market' is the unconditional solution to all of society's ills would do well to study that case carefully. The reason that the CEO *should* have been lynched (he wasn't; he & the 'Wall Street' brokers were the only ones who came out smelling pretty) is that he sold off the paid-for generation & distribution assets of a company with a more or less exclusive but regulated right to sell power in Montana. IIRC, energy costs to Montana businesses & residents went up by something like a factor of 3, almost overnight. How many non-airline pilots among us think that privatized air traffic control is a good idea? (Now is the time to write your representatives in DC.) A free market only works when it's truly free. Energy? No. Health care? No again. Various forms of 'mass transit' (airlines)? Again, no. Plumbers? Electricians? No and no. The law? No, with profanity withheld. Any time government limits access by suppliers of a product or service, any time there is less than a truly diverse & unconnected supply, there is no free market. If we allow some level of protection through government regulation, we should also expect some level of price protection when the supply is limited by those regulations. OK, rant mode off... Charlie I didn't stay in a Holiday Inn last night, but I did manage to get an undergraduate degree in Economics a few decades ago.
