RE: Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group Re: Flying into KTIX
Dunno…..we do burgers at lunch sometimes too…..looking forward to flying her with ya. I fell in love with the Sting before it became a sport plane. A guy back in Crete Nebraska had one. They even made a retract version. FAST!!

The Sting will never be on the flight line. :D I'm finishing up my check-rides with it and then I'll be writing a check for a 1/4 share of it.
Once I get checked out in it (probably another two flights at most) I'll definitely be flying it a bunch. It's one seriously bad-ass plane if you ask me. I'll be more than happy to give a ride to ya.
When's the next pancake bfast up there at FNL? :D

Is the Sting on the flight line now? Or did you buy into it? Either way, fly up to Fort Collins and let me go flying with you. I’ve not flown a Sting yet!

I worked on the shuttle for a while during the last century.
Never got a chance to see a launch, but I did get to see several landings
from the roof of the hangar at Edwards South Base. That little speck in the
sky gets Big real Fast as it comes in.
And just a few days ago I watched the "new shuttle" on TV as it was launched
atop an Atlas 5. Smaller, Cheaper, Faster :-)

Re: Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group Weekend
Regarding this last weekend.
It is a good thing that life continues when the WIFI goes down. It went down at my place on Friday at 8pm.
Just got it back up and running late this Monday morning.
Any way, I spent most of the weekend at my hanger at the airport doing a final cam timing and button-up of my Verner engine, including setting the prop pitch, balancing the carbs, etc.
Between the rain squalls, there were lots of hanggliders being towed aloft by our local Moyes tug pilot. Locally known as the Wanatabe Ranch.
As I sit here typing this missive, the rain is coming down in buckets and the wind is whipping by, shaking my RV.
(My brother and I had just washed our vehicles, so we knew it would rain.)
Tomorrow, we are driving to NorthWing to pickup my (repaired) Mustang II trike wing.
I know your going to ask, so to keep a long story short...
At the end of last month, I was outside, with the trike tied down, engine idling, checking for oil leaks. (we were putting in new gaskets to eliminate existing oil leaks).
The wind was blowing around 5mph.
Suddenly the wind jumped to around 20 gusting 30.
The back of the wing was to the wind (oops).
The wing tossed around until the trailing edge and the prop shook hands in a most friendly fashion.
Just to make matters more interesting, as we prepared the wing for its' trip to NorthWing, we managed to break a sprog :-(
As a side note, the wing is ~5 years old. So it was time to be replacing the lower cables.
All the above is now fixed, including a scallop in each trailing edge so there will be no more friendly meetings between the prop and the wing.

At least I'll get to the state by flying, assuming the weather is good and all.
