The Bahamas is NOT a fun place to go. Please don't tell people
it was a fun place to go.
(This is being said because I want to go back there within
the next 12 months and it's getting harder and harder to
find availability because too many darn people found out about
it and are filling up all the rooms!)
So from now on I'm going to keep the Bahamas a secret so that
I can always get my chance to go back. :)

| Subject: | Slick Mag Problem |
I had previously reported having a Slick mag problem on my RV-10 while at
Albany, OR. The problem turned out to be a bad set of points - looked like
the point was not crimped onto the spring arm as it should have been. After
we borrowed a set of points from another mag, it still didn't work so we
also borrowed the coil. That did the trick. Flew home with the mag working
better than ever, smoother and less mag drop than before. I informed
Aircraft Spruce, they contacted Champion Aerospace (Slick) and, because I
had to make repairs on a holiday weekend with no other maintenance options,
replaced the points and coil under warranty. I have to tell you that I like
dealing with aviation people. The guys at Albany were quick to offer a hand
to a stranded pilot and Slick was understanding that the normal avenue of
repair was not available. Maybe aviation people should run the world - or at
least show how it should be run.

| Subject: | OSH 2012 RV-10 Group Camping |
After facilitating this for a few years and then taking last year off, my wife
has convinced me to do an RV-10 group camping area in Camp Scholler again for
those interested. We skipped last year because it just became too much work however
EAA has made a few changes that should mitigate that. As in the past I
will stake out sites on Tuesday (7/17 this year) the week prior to the show
starting. It's done this early simply because we like the close proximity to
the show, entry gates, showers, etc. Camp sites are "staked out" and marked off
at that time and MUST have a registration tag. If a site doesn't have a registration
tag the EAA security patrol will remove the stakes and marking tape.
In order to keep the workload to a minimum, I'm going to do things a bit different
than prior years however the net result should be the same. So, here's the
deal:
- Instead of making payment to me you'll pay EAA direct. They now allow for specifying any arrival date (change from the past). There's a link at the bottom of this page to make payment http://airventure.org/planning/advance_camp.html. Cost this year is $24/night and EAA charges from the first night you're registered through the end of the show (including Sunday night). If you leave early you get a refund for unused nights.
- I will spend a couple hours the morning of 7/17 staking out and marking sites.
If you pay for a different start date please plan for somebody else to stake
out your site.
- You'll need to email me your info (EAA # and name) after you've made payment
so I can build the list. I'll go get the site tags from the EAA folks for those
on my list.
- All info/credentials will be left with the EAA except for the site tags. That
means when you come in you can just go through the express registration gate
and pick them up - no need to call me to come meet you at the gate. I'll send
an email out to those on my list Tuesday 7/17 after the sites are staked out
so you know where we'll be.
- If you're flying in and will be camping with us I'll pick up your entire credential
package so you won't have to make your way to the entry gate.
If you've never camped with us, we generally will be in the area of 55th and Lindbergh in Camp Scholler which is about a 5 minute walk to either the FlyMarket or Theater in the Woods gates. The camp store and a shower building are across from the FlyMarket entry gate, so about a 5 minute walk to those also. For the airshows we walk straight east across Knapp St. and onto the airfield. It's about a 10 minute walk to the flightline from our campsites. http://airventure.org/images/av11_schollermap.jpg
No more details available yet but several people have contacted me offline and
I've told everybody that I'd post something in June if I was going to do something,
so here it is! Much of the workload in prior years came from dealing with
the money, trying to get all the necessary info from people and dealing with
getting people their credentials upon arrival. Now that EAA put into place
a way for people to prepay starting on any day it should aleviate most of the
workload. It's great to have our group together, more people need to help carry
the load for events like this. Speaking of which, one person that contacted
me offline volunteered to put together a group dinner one night...
Here's a link to Tim's website where he's accumulated a lot of info on our group camping from past years. Except for the payment and arrival procedures, most of the rest of it should still be valid: http://www.myrv10.com/osh/

| Subject: | Re: : broken pilot step |
This was actually discussed in the past and you should be able to find some references
in the archives.
Solution was a combination of beefing up the welds and putting on an access panel.
My welds were seriously lacking and I re-TIG'd them.

Thanks Michael,
My wife reminded me of the earlier step failure posts!
I cut the hole for the inspection panel in the weekend and removed the internal
anchor portion of the step. I was thinking that for builders installing the
step that it may be worthwhile considering to install the securing bolt for
the step in the horizontal rather than vertical position. This would aid removal
of the bolt with the inspection hatch out from the side panel.
Regards
Evan

Do people check the screen in the fuel servo? I have the Precision Airmotive EX-5
and their instructions say to clean it "... Only if contamination is suspected...".
Not sure how you suspect without looking?

That's right! For a while I thought I'd have to do it in
2013. Turns out getting things organized is a bunch more
time consuming than I thought, and you have to plan
farther ahead than I usually do. But, when a spot opened
up we quick jumped on it, so now I'm headed there shortly!
Sure is a harder trip to plan out than the islands...but
it's gonna be great!
Will let you know how it goes!
