Louis,
I have your bushing made and it will be in the mail today, Friday, by US Mail.
If you would compensate for shipping, I will call it even.
You will notice small grooves in the metal. They are barely .001" deep. I polished
the outside and it makes the grooves stand out. They should not be a problem.
Keep the bushing greased as the metal will rust if left unprotected.
The outside diameter is -.001" from 17 MM. This will allow a slip fit.
The inside diameter is +.0002 for a slip fit of the bolt.
I do not need a tailwheel. I am building a nosedragger. Thanks for the offer.
Dave

I'd suggest checking the archives for Victor first, as in Not having to deal
with Victor: priceless.".
It was a long time ago, but unforgettable. Been there, done that, got the
t-shirt.

| Subject: | 406 Mhz ELT Testing |
Guys,
On every annual condition check I've tested my ELT with our local tower
by transmitting 3 sweeps on the hour. The tower would confirm the
presence of the ELT tone on 121.5 comment about its signal strength.
How do we test the new ELTs? I'm out of the loop on this...
Thanks.

Requirements are spelled out in 91.207 (d).
Note that all 406 transmitters also contain 121.5 transmitters and that
likely is what you will have to check, since few of us are likely to
have 406 Mhz receivers.

| Subject: | Las Vegas Aircraft Crash |
Subject: Las Vegas Aircraft Crash
I heard about a Velocity crashing into a house and killing the pilot and
two people in the house while trying to land at North Las Vegas. It was
the flight test period as the plane only had 5 hours of flight time. I
went on the Internet to find a little more info. I was shocked to read
the comments of the airport director.
Quote from the website:
http://www.lasvegasnow.com/Global/story.asp?S=8883721&nav=168Ye9lq
According to Airport Director Randall Walker, this incident is the worst
air accident off the airport grounds in Las Vegas history. Now for the
first time, Walker is publicly calling for more local control over what
aircraft come in and out of airports.
Walker says the airport has no control over what aircraft fly in and out
-- there hasn't even been a risk assessment for what kind of risks these
experimental aircraft may pose. But he says he is going to start
lobbying to get Congress to change the law and allow airports to have
more control.
But again, Randall Walker says that these kinds of aircraft do not
belong in urban areas.

>From website: http://www.aci-na.org/about/leadership_walker
Prior to his appointment as the director of aviation, Walker was
assistant county manager for Clark County from 1996 to 1997. As
assistant county manager, he oversaw 12 county departments and provided
fiscal oversight for District Court, Justice Court, and all of Clark
County's elected officials. In 1995, Walker served as director of the
county's Department of Finance.
*************************************************************************
***********************************
I read the complete bio and there was no indication of any aviation
experience. My first question is why do ANTI-AVIATION types, who are
not pilots and have no flying experience, rise up to get airport
director jobs? For example, the new director of airports for San
Bernardino County, CA is not a pilot. My info maybe old, but the Navy
had a rule that to command an aircraft carrier, you had to be a pilot.
Might make a good rule for airport managers.
(Sour grapes alert.)
I might have a chip on my shoulder about this. As the manager of Apple
Valley, CA (KAPV) airport job because available, I was not given a
interview as I didn't have a BA business degree. My Masters Degree in
Computer Science and a BS in Chemistry of course, didn't prepare me to
run a airport. However, I also have twenty years of military experience
as a flight safety officer and Supervisor of Flying.
(Enough sour grapes.)
Seems to me, we need to get EAA and AOPA on this right away before it
gets out of hand.
Please write and call anybody you think can help.

The old manager of Las Vegas North, Gus Sabo, was killed in a Long
EZ that he built.
http://www.eaa163.com/chapter/gus/index.htm?/lvrj_home/1999/Mar-20-Sat-1999/news/10832488.html
He flew VFR into IFR conditions in Baja California. Being a pilot
does not insure that one has good judgement.
