I was cleaning out old brochures collected from Sun 'n fun over the years and noticed
that Trade-A-Plane is getting smaller. Here are the differences between
2008 and 2009:
160 versus 128 pages.
2009 is 5/8" less tall and 5/8" less wide.
2008 had glossy outside pages plus some glossy inside - 2009 has none.
The prices aren't smaller, however.....

Every year it seems like there are people that show up at OSH and then ask if they
can get a site with the big group. If you've been there before it's understandable
that it's unlikely that there will be any empty sites near us. The
only other option would be to encroach on existing sites which isn't fair to the
people that planned ahead.
Not trying to be hard-nosed here, but if you want a site with the group and haven't
yet sent payment it's time to get into gear. We are now 2 weeks out from
actually staking out the sites, meaning that I'll need to have payment in my
hands absolutely no later than Friday 7/17.

Builders,
I have a new-in-box Newton non-locking deluxe fuel cap and flange, plus an
extra cap. Van's price is $100; their P/N is FUEL CAP DELUX. This is the
upgrade cap intended for slow-build tanks. It doesn't fit an existing tank.
I'll take $65 for the complete set including an extra cap, which is a nice
thing to have in the plane.
First come first served.

I guess nobody dimpled the wing walk area but me. I did call Vans to see what they
had to say and they were no help at all. I guess I will go ahead and dimple
the rest of the holes. Just for clarity I am not talking about the row of rivets
with the nut plates on them.

I started to dimple the wing walk area before I read it should be machine countersunk.
I am hoping someone else dimpled these areas and it worked out fine. My
question is should I continue on and dimple all three layers or buy some new
parts and machine counter sink like it says? What benefit is machine countersinking
in this area? I should know by now to read ahead three times before proceeding.
Thanks for any help,

Subject: | Signs of the times |
Your post dredged up an old memory of a TAP issue prior to the 2000
election, I believe it was a summer issue which ran a 1/2 page ad paid for
and by the IRS. It reminded everyone that the date for filing an extension
for the 1999 tax year either April 15 or June 15. Anyway the timeliness of
the ad was very much in question as well as the venue, until you remember
that Al Gore was running for POTUS. Then the government payback for a
political contribution makes sense.

No, that was for real. I thought at the time: Why an ad in Summer for
something that was already past but it wasn't too hard to make a probable
connection between a campaign contribution and a payback by having the then
administrative branch of government place a half page ad. It was after all
Tennessee and the POTUS wanna be's home was there.

For those of you with the Lightspeed ignition, how are you cooling the main box?
Spruce carries several cooling fans, most with multiple ports. Is this the
only answer?
