Several of us went to Carthage today for lunch on the field at 5nc3.  Pik-n-Pig was excellent.  Great food, great service and cool ambiance, set up like an old country store/post office.  Recommend it highly and rreplaces Stantons if you really want Q.  Nice runway, plenty of parking on South side of field at restaurant.  They now LOVE RVS and even asked for and got a low approach high speed fly-by w/ smoke.  On Sundays it helps to get there before local crowds arrive.  See you there.  Reno

Never miss a thing.  Make Yahoo your home page.

Bill,



Thanks for joining us today.  You should mention that Carthage is not on all 

GPS data bases so go to AirNav   http://airnav.com/airport/5NC3  and get the 

coordinates.  The field is private, but open to the public. (Does that make 

sense?)  The CATF is 122.9 and not listed.  The restaurant is only open from 

noon to 3 PM on Sunday.  Longer hours every other day.  Call the restaurant 

at 910-947-7951 to confirm hours or reserve a table for a big group.

Thanks for letting me tag along.  The food, ambiance, and hospitality

were all good.  As Bill C. pointed out, how many times have you been

asked to circle back around and do a fly-by on the way out?



About the only problem I had was when I got home I made the mistake of

telling Nora that Kathy and Terri went along.  Oh well, the black eye

will heal.  (Just kidding)

Hi group. As a new RV-7 owner in Charlotte, and new to this group, I

haven't seen where many members are posting information about informal

flying, or get togethers. I would love to meet up with locals for

burgers, new places to eat, informal formation or just whatever. Hope to

see more posting, and to meet more of my fellow RVers out there.

You, my friend, have a lot to learn about wymynz!



Hey, I need a recommendation for a QUIET set of tires for the Miata. After riding as pax in Miriam's little go-kart today, I told her I thought she should make any performance trade-offs necessary to find some tires with less of a road noise signature.  My head was resonating and my fillings spinning from the hummmmmmmmm of the factory rubber.  Got a brand/size for us to consider?

 

We go in wednesday for our free replacement cat convertor.  Thanks for that tip!

Welcome, Jim.  We're just a little slow right now because of the weather.  We thaw out in the spring 



How would you like to meet the locals for a little fly-out to Arizona for a week this summer?  That's in the works...

Jim,

  

 Send  up a note before the weekend.  I had no plans for today until Bill walked  over as I was pushing the -9 out.

  

 Bill,

  

 The  Bridgestone Potenza S-03's are a very good tire.  Lots of grip and  quiet.  Be careful not to go with a high profile sidewall as the car  will really feel squirrelly.  Also, keep the air pressure up around 32 PSI  for best lateral acceleration.

  

 Keep  an eye on tire rack and they put the Miata sized S-03 on sale every year, last  time I bought a set they were something like $79 each.  Of course my street  tires were a yearly purchase and I was only getting about 10K miles out of a  set.  I suspect Miriam will get significantly more miles out of hers.   To put this in perspective, I did manage to go through a set of tires in 11  miles one year.  That was during my first track event and I managed to do  that w/o even spinning the car.  Just drove it a bit harder than I should  have.  By my second season I was able to run an entire series with one set  of tires and still have rubber left while turning faster times and actually  winning.

  

 Bill

Cappy and Randy flew to the South Carolina Breakfast Club in Greenwood  Sunday morning.  Great turnout as usual, always an option every other  weekend.

  

 I will send you some information on the trip to Scottsdale, AZ.

There are lots of RV folks in the area and we get together for $100 burgers, 

cross-country trips, formation flying and aerobatics.  Tell us your 

background and interests and we'll gladly welcome you aboard.

Hi Ron. I've been flying a Titan Tornado the last couple of years, just

got my new 7 (purchased from Rick Gray in Ohio) a few months ago, and

loving it. Painting is scheduled in a few months. I have no experience

with formation, and just a little bit of aerobatics (loops/rolls). I

would be interested in ALL aspects of flying, and always looking to

learn more.

Also, in case anybody cares, I'm an avid fly fisherman, that's my other

hobby, and plan on flying up to Elizabethton, TN on occasion to soak a

couple of flies.

If Rick Gray built your -7 you got a good bird.  Rick does good work.

Hi Dan,

  

 I developed an Electronic Fuel Injection Fuel System  Monitor (EFISM) that requires no fuel-flow transducers or any messing/connection   with the fuel plumbing.  However, it is designed only for engines  using electronic fuel injection systems which means mostly  auto-conversions. (It could be adapted for any engine IF you use fuel  flow transducers - but then that defeats the purpose and there are number  of fuel flow/totalizers out there already  that use  transducers).

  

 But, it is basically a system that provides all the fuel  factors (Flow, amount used, amount remaining, time remaining, etc).  It  also provides an Air/Fuel Ratio indication on the screen as you adjust your  mixture, you can immediately see the effect.   You can set two alarms,  one a periodic alarm (like switch tanks ever so many gallons) and a low fuel  alarm.  It also provides backup rpm and calculated power (based on fuel  burn).  It fits in a 2 1/4" hole and requires one wire to one of the fuel  injector electrical lines. 

  

  It also provides the ability to view/change the Fuel  injection fuel map or ignition timing if you are using one of the more popular  Electronic Fuel Injection systems made by Real World  Solutions. 

  

  This started out as simply a hobby - I wanted  something to provide me with fuel  information that didn't require two  $300+ fuel flow transducers plumbed into the fuel lines.  Made the mistake  of showing off my "neat gadget" and then other folks started wanting one - I  resisted for several years but finally gave in - assisted I might add, by my  wife's believe that I just might make enough money to pay for my hobby  {:>)

  

 But, here is my URL  http://www.andersonee.com  its a bit  slow loading.

Remove wingtip.  Pass loose fitting capped pvc thinwall into a series of lightening holes spanwise.  JB weld in place.  Make darn sure this contraption does not come near your aileron pushrod stuff!  Just an idea.  Might also be able to sling it out of the way aft of the baggage bulkhead with same considerations for the elevator push tubes.

 

Consulting the builder (Rick) might be wise.
