Bill; 

If you are encouraged by  Jesse’s dad’s stories about missionary.. you should watch the documentary/movie  “Beyond the gates of splendor” (if you haven’t already) as a missionary you will  be inspired on the sacrifice made by the Saint family and what has resulted in  forgiveness and what is now an RV-10 “on the job training program” in  Equador. 

------------------ 

I  want to say that you guys are my source of inspiration. Every time I look at the  project and get discouraged by the amount of work still to go, I  read some  of your logs and stories and am inspired. I also find Jesse dad’s stories very  encouraging having worked in overseas mission.

  I agree with Deems. I got started on the list with no pilot or mechanic  license. Now I have both. I've learned a lot from this group and have enjoyed  the journey.

The      floats hit the top of the tank around 24-26 gallons because if the dihedral.      If installed and calibrated correctly, they will read accurately down to      very close to empty.

 With 10      gallons left my approach is to have most of those in one tank and to run off      the other (and hard VFR with airports underneath).  If there's even a      hiccup, tanks get switched and we are landing NOW.  Not my cup of tea      and I haven't had a hiccup yet. I haven't run a tank dry even for testing      but did spend a year measuring things very carefully.

I have seen it and greatly appreciated the message. I ran a bush hospital in Rwanda and lost my entire staff in the Genocide. I knew many of the perpetrators, so forgiveness is a challenge a struggle with daily.
