Sun 'n Fun 2017 Trip Write-up - Day 5

It's rare I get to make a 700 mile cross country and have ZERO weather concerns - today was the day however! WeatherMeister.com painted a beautiful picture of our flight up north. Calm surface winds. No clouds. Practically zero winds aloft. While a tailwind would of been appreciated, it's was otherw...

Sun 'n Fun 2017 Trip Write-up - Day 4

There was definitely no sleeping in this morning. The crack of thunder woke everyone up well before 6am on Thursday. Here's a screenshot of what WeatherMeister.com said was coming for us. http://www.rvplane.com/showthumb/DSCN5838.JPG The morning sky at sunrise was not what we were used to. http://ww...

Sun 'n Fun 2017 Trip Write-up - Day 3

Today started with another amazing sunrise. We also picked up a new guest at our campsite. Peters friend, James, drove in last night from the Miami area to join us for a day of Sun and Fun! You can see him hydrating in Peter's tent. http://www.rvplane.com/showthumb/DSCN5802.JPG A couple of hot air b...

Sun 'n Fun 2017 Trip Write-up

The last 3 days have been all work and no play for me finishing up the annual conditional inspection and installing the "red cube" fuel flow sensor. The rush was all worth it for a trip to Lakeland, FL for 2017 Sun 'n Fun! Last year when we departed for SNF, the temps were much lower - 28 degrees OA...

Re: My wingman lost his engine last night

Craig and I got to the bottom of why his engine quit (as to respect to him and his wish for privacy, I will not reveal the reason here, but PM me and I will let you know as a learning lesson - I know if I was in Craig's shoes, my best outcome would be where he ended up!). Anyways, the FAA required h...

My wingman lost his engine last night

If you follow my site ( http://www.rvplane.com ), you'll know I have helped my friend Craig ferry his Cessna 162 Skycatcher back and forth to Lancaster (KLNS) many times while they tried to fix some avionics bugs in his Garmin panel. Today was much like many of our other trips - clear skies, low win...

Re: This is why I come here!

Mike, I had great luck with the IXYS 45V 2X59A schottky diodes. What I like about these diodes is there are actually two independent diodes on each chip, it has screw terminals, and it doesn't need to be electrically isolated. http://www.rvplane.com/showthumb.php?picname=IMG_9641.JPG They've worked ...

Re: Worn baffle

Vlad-

Impressive "badge of honor"! I don't see why you couldn't replace the worn piece with some 6061-T6. I would just make a lap-joint and use countersunk 3/32" rivets. You might want to double-check with A&P Mitch for a second much more qualified opinion. :grin:

Bob, the thread is long in the tooth, Mike's post was made last June, Bruce just resurected it. I would bet Gathering Cinco is in June as well this year.

Re: OSHKosh Beer Tasting

What relatively crowd pleasing style should I look at, or what brew should I try to clone? My vote is IPA... The crowd seemed to suck those up first. Of course CJ would say that. Do you even remember that last IPA you had a Mitchapalooza? :lol: :lol: :lol: My vote is for a strong Belgian style Sais...

Re: OSHKosh Beer Tasting

CJ,

The Sunday beer tasting is definitely happening again this year on Sunday. It was too much of a success to be one and done!

Thanks for your help volunteering last year. It was all the volunteers that made it happen. I just had the silly idea RV'ers might like craft beer :bow:
