YAKKERS
I'll be gone the next few weeks so wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a happy
new year while I can.
OHH, here's a little something in the holiday spirit :)
Enjoy . . .
Christmas cookie recipe
1 cup of water
1 tsp. baking soda
1 cup of sugar
1 tsp. salt
1 cup of brown sugar
2 tsp. lemon juice
4 large eggs
1 cup nuts
2 cups of dried fruit
1 bottle Jose Cuervo Tequila
Sample the Cuervo to check quality. Take a large bowl, check
the Cuervo again, to be sure it is of the highest quality. Pour one
level cup and drink. Turn on the electric mixer. Beat one cup of
butter in a large fluffy bowl. Add one teaspoon of sugar. Beat again.
At this point it's best to make sure the Cuervo is still OK. Try
another cup...just in case.
Turn off the mixerer thingy. Break 2 leggs and add to the bowl and
chuck in the cup of dried fruit. Pick the frigging fruit off floor.
Mix on the turner. If the fried druit gets stuck in the beaterers just
pry it loose with a drewscriver. Sample the Cuervo to check for
tonsisticity.
Next, sift two cups of salt, or something. Who giveshz a sheet. Check
the Jose Cuervo. Now shift the lemon juice and strain your nuts. Add
one table. Add a spoon of sugar, or somefink. Whatever you can find.
Greash the oven.
Turn the cake tin 360 degrees and try not to fall over. Don't forget
to beat off the turner. Finally, throw the bowl through the window,
finish the Cose Juervo and make sure to put the stove in the dishwasher.
CHERRY MISTMAS

I can't believe that no-one has come up with the lowest tech solution to the oil
cap in the tank problem. When my dear wife dropped a cap into my '52s tank ten
years ago, we tried fishing for it with some wire without success.
Then the savvy airfield engineer rolled up, assessed the problem in an instant
and simply rounded up half a dozen 7 year old volunteers. The beaming winner rolled
up his sleeve and happily fished around in the blood temparature goo for
around 30 seconds before triumphantly holding the cap aloft!
Only a problem if you've just shut down, I guess.

There are a lot of people who like the Dynon. It appears to be a pretty
good instrument.
OTOH, it would be nice to have an electrical system that has some
resiliency built-in so that other electrical things, e.g. comm and nav
radios, will still work. That shouldn't be hard to do. When I started
the restoration of The Project I completely removed and discarded the
Chinese electrical system. Not only is it heavy (the wire alone is over
100 lbs) but it has a number of single points of failure. The new
electrical system may only have one alternator but it will have multiple
paths from the battery to my critical equipment with enough battery
capacity to allow me to safely complete an IFR flight to my destination.
WRT the Dynon, I am going to try to get my FSDO to allow me to put one
in for the right seat of the Aztec. As it is not part of the pilot's
instrument scan I am hoping they will allow it as ancillary installed
equipment. After that I am hoping they will let me install one as a
backup attitude indicator to replace my needle-ball. I would keep all my
other steam gauges including the vacuum AI (the autopilot needs that).

No need to archive.
The early days when I was taught instruments, an artificial horizon was a
real luxury item. Needle ball, altimeter, compass, and airspeed was all most of
us were trained to use. When I first flew PAA jets they still had horizons
(3.25") that had no color (just two tone gray). ADF was the most used nav aid
out side the US with VORs considers great if available and ILS was only at the
biggest airports I do remember making an actual A-N range approach once when I
was a copilot in a DC-3 working for Bahamas Airways. AT the time (1962) most
of these had been phased out. The cockpit of a PAA 707 in 60's didn't look
much different from an early model Cessna. I remember when the first HS6B 6"
horizons came out with its big blue and brown face plus pitch indices and
flight director needles, I thought "WOW how modern can we get!!"
Having retired off the glass cockpit 747-400 with CAT 3C capabilities and the
ease "all weather" operations there, I find myself back flying the all black
background vacuum horizon and DG, straight needles ILS, with altimeter and
airspeed, non standard "T" but just like the Army Air Crop ordered it, while
flying the B-24 and B-17. I feel like I've come full circle or is it d=E9j=E0
vu all
over again?
I put a Blue Mountain Sport in my front cockpit. I had minor problems it,
none now. Is it the best system out there? I don't think so BUT at the time
and at the price, I thought it was. I could NOT trust myself with the Chinese
horizon with its reverse pitch. I still look at the T/B and I have a back-up
airspeed and altimeter. I find myself referring to round gages while
performing acro but the BM under normal flight. In IFR I'm sure I'd be reading
the BM.
While I have a GPS moving map separate from the one in the BM, I plan on
installing a ILS. I never will install an ADF. I personally think they are
dangerous. To many times as a navigator, and copilot in my early days, I watched
the needle point to the nearest CB or the needle "hunting" that even in the
best conditions, averaging a bearing was frustrating as hell for me. And I=20know
of one PAA aircraft that was lost in the South Pacific because they were
using a CB as a station 30 miles from their intended airport and hit a hill. I
-myself never trust one and at best good enough just to show OM passage. Sorry
guys its just me. GPS (greatest thing since sliced bread) has crapped out on
me a few times, but ILS/VOR never has. So I'd like and plan to have both in
my airplane.
