Hi all, The alloy arm that the elevator counterbalance weights attach to on
my 18T is corroded beyond repair. Does anyone know where I can either buy
a good used one or have one machined.
Thanks,

You guys think you're SO cool w/ your sunny weather and ideal, open-cockpit
flight conditions. (...and you are!) But my GIB does lingerie modeling,
and even at -4 degrees, she has the innate ability to easily melt all the
snow and warm my...um..."heart." The moral of the story is...life is a
trade-off. You just have to decide what is the better end of the deal. :)

Lets see... Woke up Sunday morning to 51 degree weather. By 10:00am it
was down to 24. By 5:00 it was down to 11. Yesterday our high was 3
degrees above zero with a windchill of -20. Today we got up to a whopping
10 above with 4 inches of snow falling since 8:00am. Only in Iowa!
Plans are to move to Florida when I retire! If it keeps this up maybe
sooner!

Yeah, 3 inches of rain and snow down to 2500' here in SoCal. AND I have to fly an L-39 with 4 F/A-18's again this Friday in a fly over supporting Snowball Express (www.snowballexpress.org). Sometimes this job is extremely difficult. ;) In all seriousness, this is a great charity and I'm so honored to be able to in a small way show appreciation for these families that have made the ultimate sacrifice.
I happened to be in the terminal at the Orange County airport yesterday as one
of the 5 Snowball Express flights arrived. American Airlines donates these aircraft
to fly all over the country picking up families to attend this yearly event
that supports over 2000 families of the fallen. As I sat there and watched
a young mother of 4 young children, the oldest one about 6 and the youngest
an infant, come out of the jet way and greeted by cheering volunteers, I could
not help but shed a few tears. 4 kids without a dad who was killed in the name
of our freedom.
In this season of giving as we celebrate the birth of the He who is the ultimate example of charity, I invite you to visit www.snowballexpress.org and consider making a donation. I can think of no greater cause than supporting those families who have supported us with the ultimate sacrifice.
A warm Merry Christmas to you all.
Barry

Hi,
contemplating the DYNON ems for Christmas. (this will be an eventually and additional
instrument to their new EFIS)
Has anyone installed DYNON into their Chang/YAK? If so, which sensors can we use,
which ones can we not use.
Has anyone installed another EMS that worked well?

, Removed all fuel systems and replaced with electric via toggle switches (
highly recommend), integrated monitoring of critial functions, fuel compute

Craig,
You do this to us every year about this time -- talk about shoveling off
sunshine and and how it just sucks to have to use so much sunscreen while
keeping your sunglasses on and clean with your canopy back in the perfect 82
degree weather.......
Later, when the wind with the strange names like "BashemdownJoe" or
"FloodemoutPatty" come to town and you are wondering where your hangar is
today or how many cottonmouths or alligators have found refuge from the
flood waters in your GIB's seat, I don't want to hear a whisper about it. I
only want to hear positive comments. Something like, "It truly is amazing
how quickly the sheets dry down here when they are hung out in the 120 knot
breeze!" or "I find that my joints are so much more flexible here in the
summer when the AC is off."
Enjoy the respite Lad - the weather Gremlins are coming up on your six.

I love that part of the season too. I relish to thought of the wind in my

invigorating to live life on the edge - so to speak. You sort of feel like a

captain on the bridge of his brig, sail set, reefed but square, close hauled
to wind. What's really nice, is all those liberal Yankees that buy houses on
the shore, takeoff like swamp rabbits from a ripple in the water. (BTW the
difference between a "Damn Yankee" and just plain "Yankee" is the damn Yankee
stay.) Now those AZ lads have a little too much sunshine. Poor devils, the
heat kills the power of those supped up M-14s and they still run in those
hills. Something about the heat to brain cell ratio, I think.
No guys its best down here in Florida year round. God didn't put hair all
over our bodies because he wanted us to be civilized. Not to huddle next to
fires wearing furs skins screaming about the pain in our old bones. Best be
aviating though blue skies with the canopy back after just being treated to
lunch at the airport dinner (which just finished happening :45 ago.)
Naaaaa, You'll never convince me otherwise.

| Subject: | Re: What's your CJ aircraft jack look like? |
Mike,
A full set of jacks consist of 4 jacks. A "headed" jack which goes under
the engine, 2 "stub wing" jacks and a tail support jack. Normal price for a
full set of 4 stock Chinese jacks is about $1K, bought seperatly about 250
to 300 each. All have rollers on them so they move easily in the shop.
They are screw type, not hyd, so they have no leak down problems if left
overnight. All have the proper fittings, off set to clear the gear doors on
the stub wing jacks, cly support fittings on the engine jack, and a skid
fitting on the tail support jack. Making your own is possible but if you
use hyd jacks and feel that you will ever have to leave the aircraft on
jacks for a long period of time you should make safety locks to prevent any
leaking down as sometimes happens with hyd jacks. Jacking the aircraft
without proper support can be very expensive. I have seen one aircraft
laying on the shop floor with the jacks sticking up through the wings-- so
it can happen. A tail weight or tie dwn ring in the floor can be used
instead of the engine and tail jacks, but is it not as secure as having all
four jacks under the aircraft especially when it comes time to get up into
the cockpit to operate the gear lever. Rather the strain placed on the tail
cone while using a weight or tie down is good or bad I really have no idea.
Hope all this helps.
Doug

Mike,
Not back yet, stuck in Beijing until the 20th.
Cly studs are on order, but 60 days out at the min.
Look in the parts books and you can see the jacks or wait till I get back
and I'll send you some photos.
Gotta run to a meeting, more later.
