I have been at MIT for four weeks now and everything is going great. The flight testing with my top mounted struts is now complete and they have been removed. They will be replaced with cable. In the meantime, I de-rated the airframe to 1200 pounds, Normal Category, Vne 138, Va 92 MPH. I have added a 2 .032 extension to the 0-200A lower rear cowl lip and have seen cylinder/oil temperatures come down significantly on warm days without any adverse effect upon climb/cruise. I am currently designing and will install a cable or cables in lieu of the solid struts. They will use the same outboard mounts and may use the inboard mounts or may pass through the cabin as a single cable. After flight testing with the cable(s), I hope to raise the rated gross weight back to 1320. My maximum demonstrated crosswind is 24, Vso 46 MPH. I scored a rare perfect score on the all hands math for physics test at MIT and passed every advanced standing exam I sat for. Classes themselves are going very well. I am also learning to sail. If you guys had a choice of flying a 10 Electra, a 247 or a DC3 around the world next June, which aircraft would you pick and why? Miss you all!

I still hope you will install the "Approved" upgrade to your Zodiac one of these days. 24 mph crosswind is very high for a Zodiac. That sounds like around half the stall speed. Normal maximum for any plane is around 1/3 stall speed. The last woman who tried to fly around the world in an Electra didn't make it. Word has it she was either captured by the Japanese or died missing her island destination and failing to complete the trip swimming. Of course she flew East to West. I hope you choose the other way so the winds help. I also hope you bring a GPS along for the ride instead of depending on a nice young man with dead reckoning. I don't know what a 247 is. I'm sure a gooney bird could make it but at a maximum cruise of 135 mph it will take a really long time and a lot of gas (around 100 Gph?). Good luck, Paul XL still upgrading second wing. -----Original Message----- From: owner-zenith-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-zenith-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Sabrina Sent: Tuesday, September 21, 2010 11:58 AM Subject: Zenith-List: Update Hello guys!
