    --> RVSouthEast-List message posted by: "Steve Glasgow" <willfly@carolina.rr.com> OK Cappy is up and checking the WX. All looks good to me. Remember GEV is just 10 nm into the mountains if approaching from the SE. Mt Jefferson is just SW of GEV and is 4,660' also there is a tower on another Mt that is 4,710' just NW of GEV. Approaching GEV from E or SE if you can get to 5,000 msl you are golden. Reno says 4,500'. If you are looking for the absolute best approach to GEV (lowest ground) you might want to consider proceeding west along the VA NC boarder to Piney Creek and then direct to GEV. Terrain along this route is lowest and well below 4,000 msl. I feel a safe altitude would be around 4,500' coming from this direction. It is best to land 28. A left downwind over the golf course is best. If you don't have good visibility and can't find the airport make a 180 and go back where you came from. One more tip. On final, trust you IAS and fly your normal approach speed and landing speeds. Because the airport is at 3,180' msl your TAS will be a bit higher which will make you GS higher on landing, giving you a sensation of being fast during takeoff and landing. Just talked to Reno and he says the WX is very good around 7,000' broken with good visibility. Miss Lynnie and I plan to be landing at 11:00 AM. Hope to see you all soon. Stormy, how is the sod???

    Subject: VS-808PP Holes?
    Larry, I did as well. When I called Vans about doing this they simply said, "Build lightness in." So I cut them out. Not a big deal. I was reading some of back issues of the RViator today and some guy actually measured all the parts he cut out of his -6 that Vans recommended for weight savings, total gain was around 10 lbs. Not really significant but those small savings made me feel better about adding in a few oz's here and there. Bill PS. Radomir, you are going to be SO tail heavy, you should have cut them out. ;) -----Original Message----- From: owner-rvsoutheast-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rvsoutheast-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Bret Smith Sent: Saturday, September 02, 2006 12:10 AM Subject: RE: RVSouthEast-List: VS-808PP Holes?
