Len, Stormy and guys,
Great response Stormy........
The YE program is still in effect and growing. The age is 7 to 17 . the EAA
has the forms they will send you for free, you just have to email and ask
for some....I ordered 5 just to get some and see what they looked like. It
is a release that must be signed by a guardian. as well the name and
address for the files at EAA for the offical head counts.
We agree with your logic.....or at least I do. I don't want to be
"insurance poor" or let it affect the reason I fly....I truly believe half
the fun of flying is introducing it to non flyers as evident by the number
of times I fly solo to just fly.....hardly any! of course now I love to fly
in pairs and that even tops giving rides, but I digress from the
subject.....
Our situation is a little different as Tripp and I are partners and anything
one does, the other will be dragged into by the ownership thing.......so we
are looking at the whole thing with that in mind.
One solution was to only give rides to family and Young Eagles in the RV
and rent a spam can for all others. But that brings up the RV guys and
prospective builders and such.....
We would like to make a release that we could get people outside the family
and young eagles read and sign. One that would tell them what they are
about to do.....relating to the Expermental Catagory, etc...and that they
agree to accept the 100,000 limit for .........well lets hope nothing, but
it would make them think as well........I doubt anything we write up would
ever stand up in court, but it would raise awareness levels.
Any ideas or information along this line would be appreaciated.
This is an important topic, not to be dwelled on but brought up now and then
to help us make the right decisions from time to time........

The great mystery of my "slow" plane has been solved thanks to all on the
different RV list. It seems I was getting a very high MP reading everytime I
compared with someone else .... my Rky Mtn uMonitor was reading high ... not
their fault but mine !!!
I did not calibrate the unit correctly .... I was reading 4" too high !!!
Or to put another way I was flying 4" lower setting than everyone else ...
that is giving up a lot of MP !!
But on the good side ... I have discovered additional speed with no mods
!!!!
