| Subject: | Re: length of exhaust pipes |
With the 'factory' engine setup and exhaust, I don't really get any soot at 1
25hrs+. I'll try to remember to measure the clearance next time I get to th
e plane
I do get oil which seems to all come from the breather tube. I should have a
better measure but it seems to be down about a quart per 25 - 30 hours. It
stays pretty clean.
I do get a little soot coming out of the gear exit points at the wing roots (
??)

My wife and I are thinking of flying out to Palo Duro Canyon at
Amarillo, TX. Anyone been there or live there that could give me some
ideas on what to see/do and where would be the best place for lodging.
Also is the main airport in Amarillo the desired airport to fly in to?

Don't miss the play Texas in the evening. Great event and make sure you get
their dinner too.
Lots of hiking in the area too.
If you want to fly ~1hr west, you can reach the mountains of northern New Me
xico. Red River is one of our favorite places.

Wayne,
I've never used the AMA airport, so can't comment on it. Nearby and
cheaper fuel is the Tradewinds airport, which I have used probably a
dozen times. Tradewinds is closer to the hotels lining I-10, so you can
pick whatever flavor you prefer. There is ground reception with approach
control/clearance del at Tradewinds, so Class C clearance is no problem.
At the time I was flying by there, one or more of the hotels would pick
you up, as they are less than 2 mi away.

Wayne,
My wife and I went there on our circle tour of the west last year. We used
KAMA because the rental cars at Tradewinds airport were ridiculous. TacAir
at KAMA did a great job and shuttled us over to the terminal for the rental.
We stayed at the Holiday Inn Express in Canyon, the Best Western was full of
firefighters. These are the closest hotels to the park. Buffalo's has good
food.
Palo Duro Canyon was very interesting. We hiked to the Lighthouses, 85 when
we started, 105 when we finished. Take at least three quarts of water per
person as the dry air will dehydrate you quickly. The burgers at the park
concession are from the local longhorn steers and are awesome.

We flew in Thursday morning and just left before 1100 today - Saturday. Hot and
Dusty. I was behind a C-172 coming in so I just flew it at 85knots with half
flaps.
I didn't go last year, but I can say that there were only half the home builts
there that I saw in 2010. Actually, lots of empty spaces on all the ramps.
The big problem for HBs is they close the ramp a half hour before any show and
wait until the final act pilot is half way to the bar before they open back up.
If the shows actually started on time, I could understand. IF I go again, I'm
not parking at HB. I'll find a ramp that doesn't close during the show.
I only saw two other RV-10s at HB during the two days we were there.

Maybe fuel prices, last years tornadoes, and the excessively long airshow had something
to do with it. I have been once in 2009 and may go with my brother from
KSEF next year. I'll make sure I don't park in HB area. Triple Tree will probably
be much nicer for me.

That's not soot. That's rubber from the tires.
