Hi Doug...FYI
For those who have inquired, my book entitled "A Guide To Civilian Formation
Aerobatics" has been completed. It is a comprehensive detailed examination
of the subject.
The final manuscript has been edited and the first 50 editions are
published. They are now available and will be sold on a first come first
serve basis.
I truly wanted to keep the price under $20 USD, however evidently I have
lost touch with printing costs! Therefore, the final cost of the guide will
be $30 plus $4.95 for shipping within the continental United States.
For those of you who reside elsewhere please send an appropriate additional
amount for a package that weighs 1 lb (16 ounces), and measures 9 X12 X 1
inches.
Until I set up the website to process payment online, please send a check or
money order for $30, plus
shipping, along with your mailing address, and I will ship by parcel post
directly to you.
Make the check out to:
"Ron Spencer", and mail it to:
Ron Spencer Airshows
701 Glenside Road
Millville, NJ 08332
Thanks, and enjoy it!

In case you haven't heard, Trumpeter has announced that it will release a
1/32 scale, injection molded kit of the CJ6 sometime this summer. You can
pre order from several model shops now. Retail is about $40 but street
price is about $30.

So it's back to trust the steam gages and play with the golly-g-whiz shit.
Been there once on IFR flt plan with the old vacum gage failure. No fun
doing partial panal IMC.

No. The new stuff should be so much more reliable than the old iron gyros
given how fast they wore out. I felt I was doing well if I could get 500 hours
on an AI before having to rebuild. Ever had a catastrophic failure of the
rotor bearings? The "BANG" will certainly get your attention.
But like everything else that depends on a computer, everyone wants to try to
do everything in one box. The result is "spaghetti code" that is flaky.
But it doesn't have to be that way. Server boxes I have built have run for two
or three years straight without so much as a hiccup. Now to do that same thing
for engine monitors and the like.
The stuff we are building will go in my airplane where I will bet my life on
it. I figure that, if it is safe enough for me and my kids, it will be OK for
you too.
