It was a joy to see such a great variety of aircraft fly in and fly by! In addition to the fly in aircraft Calaveras Airport is very pleased with the turnout of local people as well; it is a great opportunity to show the local's what our airport is all about. Around 200 people were able to take a scenic $5 airplane ride around San Andreas, Angels Camp, and New Melones Reservoir. Looking forward to the wonderful aircraft, pilots, and crews flying in next year; Thank You again for visiting KCPU! A very special Thank You to the RV community for flying in. It is always a joy to see so many RV's in one place, certainly more than 40 had flown in this year. I was asked by another RV pilot "Which RV here do you like the best?" I could only say that each one was as beautiful as the next and I am very happy flying my RV-6. --Larry Mersek N336RV KCPU Air Fair Advertising ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 12:57:24 PM PST US From: Bruno Subject: RV-List: RE-AIRPARK LIVING To Dennis,Charlie,Carl, Ed,Lynn and All who responded so far.. Thanks a lot for all the good suggestions and ideas regarding Airpark Living.These were and still are greatly appreciated,keep them coming. To Dennis... The Airpark is to be located at the Lachute Airport (CSE4 ) ,north of Montreal (CYUL), which is a 4000' hard surface ,fully lighted with a VOR approach airport. The Airpark,so far, is to be a three sections developpement with an only commercial hangars section, one with a mix a private hangars & hangars-homes set up with finally an only hangar/homes section ( that the section where the lot I'm looking at is located,it is the largest lot of them all as a matter of fact ). The only drawback so far is the type of hangar/house combo, the developper is allowing. What they are planning on right now are hangar/ homes looking like typical hangars ( corrugated aluminum exterior ) which is not exactly what I was planning on building.I'm planning on something more '' highend '' if you know what I mean....without going overboard. The developper also mentionned that they are responsible for the road / taxiway buildup but not the paving.The Airparks homeowners will be responsible for the paving of the road / taxiways which is not a problem for me as long as it doesn't take years to complete...My RV-4 has a composite prop and doesn't like gravel too much.. We will be responsible for snow removal. The zoning and restrictions have all been approved by the city ( which is behind the project 100% ). Property and liability insurance will be at the owners expenses but are a lot less complicated up here than they are down in the States.... I have pictures of the airport/ airpark if anyone wants to have a look, just send me your e-mail and I'll send them to you. Thanks again Bruno rv4@videotron.ca P.S: I will subscribe to the newletter below... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello Bruno, With due respect, we don't know enough about your airpark to allow us to even begin to offer suggestions. The house/hangar layout will be determined after consideration of airpark covenants and restrictions, local zoning, your insurance company, hard surface or grass taxiways, snow removal considerations, and careful consideration of your plot survey, to name but a few factors.

What I did was use the fiberglass fairing from gear leg to fuselage to hold the metal fairing in place. Worked for 10 years.

The gear leg fairings are quite tight on the gear legs once the hinge pins are in, and they can't slide very far before they would hit the bend at the bottom of the gear leg. I'm hoping I can get by without worrying about this. -- Kevin Horton RV-8 (FInal Assembly) Ottawa, Canada http://www.kilohotel.com/rv8 ________________________________ Message 7 _____________________________________ Time: 06:30:02 PM PST US From: "Timothy E. Cone" Subject: Re: RV-List: RV8 gear leg fairing I've gone without any method of securing the gear leg fairing for the first 125 hours. That fairing can't go far, even if it wanted to. I haven't seen any evidence of movement.

I am the original founder of Terminal Town. I've been on hiatus for 6 years running the Electrical/Lighting dept. for an industrial design firm that is a subcontractor to Boeing. I am proud to say that I had a great deal of input into the new lighting systems that will be used on the 787 and other Boeing Aircraft. (And no it is not my fault that it is delayed.) I am located in Everett WA. I am looking for a RV builder in the area that is doing the wiring on his/her RV project. I would like to photo and video his/her project. So, if you know someone or if you are at that stage in your build. Please contact me at howtocrimp@gmail.com.
