It is funny you bring this up. Last night I was in one of my tenents (a race
car builder) hanger, and was looking at one of his engines saying that I would
like to put it in my Yak-52 and climb verticle.
Of course the engines are only built to last 6 seconds. So it would be a 6 second
climb, followed by a dive to the ground. I guess it is not so good after all!

Hal;
Mike Sudul (and possibly Joe Howse and Jim Hume) are coming from the
Victoria area. Mark Williston and John Northey are also planning to bring
their CJ's from the Vancouver area.
Not that it makes any difference but Vern's aircraft was actually an SNJ5 -
just painted like an early RAF Harvard.
Look forward to seeing you - wish it was under different circumstances.
Walt

it to a buyer in Indiana, and was in the process of delivering the plane to
the new buyer. Clearing Canadian Customs he was apparently delayed by about
four hours. He finally was cleared, flew the short distance to Oroville,
Washington, and cleared U.S. Customs. I believe he fueled at this point and
then departed on his flight to Indiana. A short time later he returned to
Oroville with a problem - I believe it was with his GPS. After working on
this he again departed, now very much behind his original schedule. He
chose a direct route over high country. Shortly after he departed he
crashed in terrain that was about 3,500 MSL.

was bent back with parallel scratches running toward the tip. The plane
impacted in a nose down, left wing low attitude at high speed. The first
mark on the ground was made by the left wing tip on a gravel road. The
fuselage separated from the center section, ending up some distance away,
inverted, facing back toward the impact site. Vern apparently died
instantly.

number if you can give him a lift.

Say when. I should be passing through your neck of the woods sometime in July.
Would that work for you? I may be going out to (or coming back from) SoCal
to pick up the Aztruck.

There is a time to laud one's country and a time to protest.

I can just imagine the terror on my sons' faces should their girlfriends greet

Brian, I agree that the Blue Mountain is the better choice. My front panel is
built around the BM EFIS One (E1). Since I wanted a redundant system I am also
installing the EFIS Lite with a totally separate electrical source. I will
have a JPI EDM 700-9C for the engine analyzer - I'm planning also on running
the leads to the E1. I have two separate magnetometers - one for each device
(it is not unusual here in Oregon to let down through a 10,000 foot deep cloud
deck with rain - and that's a long time to be thinking about one's AH going
bonkers.
The Blue Mountain equipment stays up well with aerobatics. However, to be really
useful, Greg programmed an "aerobatic mode" -- the moving map and AHERS are
replaced with altitude and airspeed IN REALLY BIG LETTERS. Nice feature.
One thing to keep in mind about the glass panel approach -- the panel supports
will have to be relocated to handle the new configuration. The guy doing most
of the work on "Hana Hou" is Shane Wease. He will have the whole panel setup
already done when mine is complete. You may save time and money by talking to
him if you are going to make the shift.
