Ride report for today - Hendersonville to Northern Alabama.? ?Very strong headwinds and bumpy, bumpy, bumpy.?
?
Lots of radio traffic reporting rough rides.? We stayed low to stay out of headwinds> 30 knots about 5K .? ?Seems like smooth rides were 9000 and above but that would have put us up against even stronger headwinds.

Dang, I always enjoyed flying into those events and picking up some faast points at the safety seminar.?

Everyone,
?
I would like to make everyone aware our annual Fly-In and Open House will be on June 7 from 10:00 till 14:00. I am attaching a flier for you to share with any of your friends or pilots you think
may be interested in joining us or to share across your social media accounts.
Please come out for some comradery and a good BBQ sandwich. Our flier mentions a fuel discount of .25 per gallon but look to the sign at the temporary tower for the correct self-serve price.
We are also never too skilled to learn something new, please join us for the FAA Safety event in the terminal conference room at 11:00 for a safety refresher. As always, we have many people who know little to nothing about aviation but just love airplanes,
especially children. We can always use extra eyes on the ramp to keep everyone safe in an active airport environment as planes taxi in and out.
As a note, airplane rides will not be available at the Fly-In this year due to unforeseen circumstances from our provider. Helicopter rides will be available though.
?
Thank you for your continued support and participation in our airport community,

Re: Looking for 200 Ohm Resisitor
Wiith so many Radio Shack fans coming out of the closet, I think the group has shown
Resistance is -- in fact -- NOT FUTILE! (had to, just had to).
Happy to help, Steve.

All,
I'm fresh out of 200 ohm singles, lol, but have a solution, so long as you can accommodate a bit more volume with four small resistors configured in a bundle/close staggered "hug" vs. a single resistor:
Take this fresh pack of 820 ohm-ers (which I'll never use) and put four in parallel.? They're each rated at 1/2 watt, so you meet that power/heat dissipation requirement.? You'll end up with 205 ohms equivalent resistance, which gets you more precision (2.5%) compared to a typical, single resistor's tolerance of 5-10%,
190-210 ohms for your case at 5%.
Happy to solder them together for you so you have a "plug-and-play" single resistor equivalent to 205 ohms if you'd?like. Let me know! Dave

Anyone have a 200 ohm resistor, need one for hooking up VDO? fuel pressure sensor.? 1/4 watt (or less) will do as it is a signal line only.

If you¡¯re out at the airfield today would you take up the folding ¡°X¡±s on Johnson Field? If you have a truck and can bring them to the Museum Hangar apron we¡¯ll put them away.
The only ropes that need to be left up are the ones from the corner of Mark¡¯s and my hangar to the old fuel shed. We¡¯ll string one from there to the SE corner of the Museum hangar apron. This is to prevent vehicular traffic on that area of the swamp so it can heal up a bit.
Thanks

Re: FAA Statement about Newark
¡as have all FAA administrators since Halaby. To be fair, they¡¯ve all had to deal with a ponderous bureaucracy, made more so by the requirements for unassailable perfection on the part of designers, engineers, fabricators and operators. It¡¯s a razor¡¯s edge - the better you are, the better you have to be. It doesn¡¯t leave much room for the human factor.
