He is on this fix, should be done this evening, I've also asked him to allow non members as well as members to register for events. Bottom line, no excuse for this particuliar bug, I found it quite fast. The system should have been more thouroughly pretested by coders - he will be flogged accordingly. I rely on your reports of specific web issues to insure the system works as its advertised. Online Event registration helps the organizers. Herb, Ira should be sending you an RPA debit card this week, Drew --------------------------------- Next-gen email? Have it all with the all-new Yahoo!

I found it easy and extremely straight forward. If this isn't an easy experience to register for you, please email me off list with your experience so we can make necc changes, I am issueing RPA charge cards to event organizers, so if folks register online, he/she knows what to expect in purchasing, from his/her kinko copies to water to hotel, van and restnt reservations, rubber chicken bombs, etc., whatever services RPA and organizers provide for events starts with a near accurate head counts, thanks for your patience and participation - Drew RPA --------------------------------- Want to be your own boss?

It would start out at 22-25% and make its way up to 35% which makes slowing the thing down for landing a little annoying. We thought we had the problem figured after finding the set screw on the throttle arm was spinning in the carb housing. (This was after it made its way loose during a flight and spun all the way up which in turn did not allow me to get the RPM below 80%. Had to shut off the mags too land.) Anyway, a friend fixed the screw problem but it is still creeping up to 35%. He has mentioned some folks he has spoken to that it may be a diaphragm issue. The airplane did sit for almost two years without starting and I have been told pressure carbs need to remain "wet" by more than one person. So, anyone have some thoughts. Just trying to cover my bases by asking everyone! Thanks in advance!
