Your questions regarding wing dimensions have much to do with the type of wing (airfoil) builders have opted for...and or changes to the RAF 48 called for on the plans. (At least on my old plans). I could increase the lift on my plane by increasing wing lenght at the sacrifice of top speed because of the added parasitic drag. I can then reduce the drag by a change in airfoil.......... and on and on it goes....the CG changes, the chord changes. The plans called for RAF 48 is a safe and stable platform giving acceptable stall speed and top end and a fairley large CG range.

We're departing Grand Rapids early Thursday AM and should arrive early afternoon. Once again we'll have plenty of videos available from past years (VHS and DVD)so you can get whatever motivation you might need. If there's a video projector at the banquet, we'll plan on making a weekend highlights video to show on Saturday evening. For me, this is the highlight of the year. I can't wait to move down the highway and see all of my friends again. Don't forget to smile for the camera. I know the KR pilots will all have a grin on their faces. See you all next week.

To: krnet@mylist.net Message-ID: <90.65565880.304bae20@aol.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Well, my bird just turned 1! I just completed the first annual inspection of 41768. It has faired well for all the distance flown and places gone. 275 hours on the hobbs right now and Lord willing, many more to come. We have been to many states and visited many people, and covered thousands of miles. I thank the Lord for the safety He has provided so far and the many enjoyable hours spent. There have been a couple times of concern and apprehension and lessons learned - especially dealing with weather. I hope to have learned these lessons and continue to fly with care and planning. The only changes done to 41768 since last year are the addition of wheel pants and the new cowling. The year to come promises to be exciting. A new turbo engine package is waiting and the long awaited trip to South America is fast approaching. I will try to keep you all informed. To all who are building ... FINISH! This year has to be one of the top for me. I hope to inspire you to finish, learn to fly well, and start to see the world out there. You are all welcome to visit here in Southern Georgia when you start. See you at the Gathering!

The brake bleeder situation was a breeze. Screwed in the new parts (thanks to AS&S and FedEX both, oddly enough), pumped up the system with brake fluid from the bleeder using an oilcan, and was done in 20 minutes. My aileron control system is a pain to set up, but it's adjustable to the point that if you fiddle with it enough, you can get the rigging perfect, which is how I left it tonight. There are a lot of loose ends that I had when I almost fell out of the sky two months ago, but all of those are fixed now. I have covers over the aileron bellcranks, GPS mounted to the panel so I can actually use it, seats are upholstered, fuel gauge actually works and is deadly accurate, flap switch now has a momentary position for down and a "down" ultrabright warning LED, aileron trim is right on, wing/stub gap seals are more secure (although still temporary gaffers's tape), the glare shield is now painted flat black, etc. And best of all, it's in a well-stocked hangar that's 12 minutes from home. My side of the hangar even has a fridge with Heineken, Corona, and Amber Bock in stock at all times, thanks to Jim Hill. I do believe the 54 x 54 Sensenich has even more pull at low speeds than the Sterba, despite the smaller engine displacement and slower engine speed (2770 static). When I firewall it now, the tail comes up within ten feet. I did about 10 taxi tests this afternoon as the sun was setting, and that 40' wide runway doesn't look nearly as narrow as I thought it was. Funny thing about flying out of MDQ was that I gravitated to the left side of the runway, because I could tell I wasn't about to run off the right side. If I assume that same position on M38's runway, I'm on the centerline! I watched Troy Petteway put a KingAir 200 down on it one day, and I'm not sure he even used the brakes, so I think I'll be OK. The engine is smooth and sounds great, the plane is full of 100LL, the weather is great, and I'm gonna fly it in the morning, and the rest of the day as well. I feel a yeeeeeeehaaaaaaa coming on....

Vernon To: KRnet Message-ID: <3.0.6.32.20050903223317.00872e90@pop.midwest.net> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" >We need a little help down south, for our plans to travel to Mt. >Vernon. Daniel R. Heath - Columbia, SC ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Gas in southern Illinois spiked to $3.69 for a day or two but now seems to be in the $3.15 to $3.39 range. I've only seen one station with "out of gas" signs but that was a small independent station. I called the Mt.Vernon FBO this evening and they said they should have plenty of 100LL through next weekend. Price was $3.63 as I recall. Gas prices will add a few bucks to the cost of the trip but for now it looks to be available. I'll keep you posted if I get more info...........
