    How to win a Fly-in Raffle?

    I was at a meet this last weekend. Almost all of the prizes were won by the "local" guys. I later found out that they had purchased well over $1,000 worth of raffle tickets. So much for encouraging visiting pilots, many of whom spent $100+ just for gas and motel. Guess that money NOT spent by...

    Os hyper 50 giving me a headache. Hope for some help.

    If you are running muffler pressure, can you blow from the hose to the exhaust and pressurize the tank and force fuel through the carb with the needle out? Sounds like you still have a restriction in fuel flow somewhere.

    Os hyper 50 giving me a headache. Hope for some help.

    If you smoked the first motor, and the second motor is slowly losing power, it is an indication of overheating. You likely are running the motor way too lean. Once a motor has gotten too hot, you must allow it to cool down before you adjust and fly again. Make sure you are using helicopter fuel...

    Kennett Missouri 3d Bash Sept 4-7

    Right now the weather channel is predicting mid 90's with a 10-20% chance of rain. Winds each day forecasted to be less than 10mph. Looks pretty good to me!

    vortex generators, thicker control surfaces

    The new Carbon Cub has VG's on almost the entire wing span. The ones on the outboard portion are located further forward chord wise than those near the root. I suspect a lot of experimentation would be required with regard to their placement to get whatever effect you are looking for.

    OK.. why is there a camping section?

    One thing I hope comes out of this section is that organizers of events will provide more detailed info about camping provisions in their promotion of the event. I sure don't want to drive a long way only to find I can't get a big camper into their field. It would be helpful in advance to know...
