Subject: | Re: Greg Hale is in Sport Aviation this month |
Number one I think Greg's plane looks really great. Mine is also quite
heavy, 1750, and my rationale was the same as Greg's, I built it the way
I wanted it and I said the weight will have to be what it will be. I
also usually only fly alone or with one other person. On occasion I'll
take folks up for a ride and fill the plane. I have a hangar mate who's
a retired Air Force Col, former B52 pilot, and during his military
flying years they concluded that carrying excess fuel was inefficient in
many ways. He's now converted me, somewhat, to that idea and I usually
only maintain 30 to 40 gals of fuel on board, thus reducing my weight up
to 170 to 200 lbs. If I go cross country, depending on the distance,
then I fill it up. But going cross country for me usually doesn't
include a full load of passengers.
Several years back I flew up through Alaska and stopped in at Van's for
a tour of their factory. I found the tour very interesting. While I was
on the ramp Van came out to talk. I told him right away that I know his
mission and my mission with the plane is different. I told him I built
it the way I wanted it and the weight is what it is. He said he
understood but that he looks at everything as an engineer and to him
weight is speed and other efficiencies that come with a lighter weight.
We talked for about 30 minutes or more and he is an enjoyable person to
talk to. He never made me feel I shouldn't have built it the way I did.
He's a very interesting guy.
Anyway I guess what I'm saying is that I'm with Greg. Your building a
plane for your use so make it the way you want it as long as the changes
you're making isn't outside the norm of tested things, i.e. items that
haven't been completely tested, remember Dan Lloyd. Much of the weight
on mine came from full interior, built in O2, and a few other avionic
items.
I've not yet experienced a problem with my plane weighing a little more
than Van's and I also used the recommended gross weight of 2700 lbs. I
really haven't seen that much loss of speed when compared to others.

Guys I understand where Van's coming from, but the whole idea of
building my own
airplane is to be able to personalize the airplane the way I want
it. I have
posted a '"My thoughts and explanations" on my web site to show my
point of
view. My gross weight is 2700#.

I suppose so, when you consider those dust clouds will have similar
but not quite as bad effect on your paint, windows and engine as a
volcanic ash cloud. Phx Sky Harbor was closed for over an hour.

Subject: | Re: Desert sandstorm PHX area |
I recall landing Palm Springs for a quick overnight turnaround. Beautiful
weather, crystal clear skies so I ALMOST didn't put my full length cover
on the Turbo Lance II. I said to myself don't be so lazy and pulled out
the cover. A horrific sand storm passed through the area delaying my
departure by ~4 days. When I arrived at the tie down there was a layer of
dust & crap covering every inch of the exterior even on the underside of
the wings & belly. Removing the cover really demonstrated what damage
could have been done to the glass. The plane looked like the ultimate
Farmers Tan with the cover off.
The main lesson I learned from this is... Don't be lazy.

Subject: | External Brake Lines - crack |
Everyone,
I have found a fatigue crack in one of my external brake lines just
outside the fuselage where the aluminium tube curves back to the gear leg.
I noticed my brake fluid down on the left hand side after my flight and
then went to investigate. On my previous flight, I had inspected the
wheel region and pumped up the tires and no leak was evident... so the
final failure must have occurred on my last flight. I am now planning to
replace the solid aluminium tube with flexible hoses as per Tim=99s
web page. For the last 18 months I have operated out of a grass airfield
that I expect has contributed to the extra movement in the gear during
taxi and landing etc.
Has anyone found any issues with use of flexible brake hoses and if so
what hose type did you use?

I too fly on grass and had the same issue as you. I replaced them with
Bonaco. They have the lengths you need, you don't even have to measure.

Bonoco will have the lines ready made for your make and model. Super

them. 50 hours and no apparent wear at all.

So is this the outflow from a big storm?
Looks like the ones I've seen in TX and NM back in my glider days... at
first I turned and ran but realized other racers were riding them....
nothing like it! No fun on the ground though, especially for a big city.

Usually it is the leading edge of a big storm, yes, outflow. Storms
often roll in off the mountains down from 7000 ft to 1000 ft
elevation, so a lot of energy is incorporated. Yesterday's storm had
50-70mph winds for over an hour, and that picks up a lot of dirt from
the desert.

Subject: | OT: iPad2 Jailbreak is out! |
For those who have an iPad2 and want to jailbreak it, it's been
a long wait for the guys to come out with a public way to do
it, and tonight it arrived. It's the simplest jailbreak
yet.
It supports these devices:
iPad1: 4.3 through 4.3.3
iPad2: 4.3.3
iPhone3GS: 4.3 through 4.3.3
iPhone4: 4.3 through 4.3.3
iPhone4-CDMA: 4.2.6 through 4.2.8
iPod touch 3g: 4.3, 4.3.2, 4.3.3
iPod touch 4g: 4.3 through 4.3.3
It's the fastest, easiest, and least technical (to the end
user) jailbreak yet.
You just go to http://jailbreakme.com and click on the
FREE button on Cydia's screen, and then hit the INSTALL
button when it turns green. Then Cydia (the other app
store) will install, and you'll be jailbroken and have
access to all the other apps. SBSETTINGS is an app
that I can't do without, so it's great to have.
REMOVEBG (removes background process apps from running)
is another one that's real handy.
Anyway, if you want to jailbreak, update to 4.3.3 and
do it right away. Once apple releases 4.3.4, you may
not be able to do this again for many months.
Oh, and once you're jailbroken, you can patch the
flaw that they exploited by installing "PDF Patcher 2"
so that malicious sites can't mess with your
ipad.
