Re: [Eaa1016] AVwebAlert: Sun ¡®n Fun Postponed Until May 5-10

 

Yes, it¡¯s too bad about Sun &Fun, but I¡¯m PUMPED to be going to Fort Leavenworth Kansas tomorrow where it will be 39 and snowing. As an added bonus I get to change planes in Atlanta! ?Eat your heart out you guys.?
You won¡¯t see me at the Mustang for a while.?

At this point, Covid-19 appears to be more infectious and 10-100 times more deadly than either seasonal or swine flu (H1N1).?

Bummer.

If Higgins isn't bothered by Covid-19, he should plan a trip to Northern Italy, where the government failed to take appropriate precautions, like canceling events, until it was too late.? I suspect airfares are cheap ... though he may have problems penetrating the quarantine zone.???

P.S. I think Higgins meant Yiddish "Oy" as in "Oy Vey", expressing resigned dismay, not French "Oui", expressing "yes".??

Attached is AC61-142 sharing flight expenses. I recommend reading this AC before you share flight expenses.

Murphy Maverick project available

 

From a GlaStar friend in Indiana - a machinist whose GlaStar earned a Lindy at Oshkosh .. if you or friends are ready for a great airplane project, I¡¯ll be glad to put you in direct contact with them.?


Hi Alex. Here is my dad's Murphy Maverick he is building.? It has a Jabiru 4 cylinder.? The Maverick originally came with fabric wings but Daryl Murhy the owner redid the kit and made wings metal like on the Rebel. Anyway he is this far. Now has health issues and will never finish it.? It's all corrosion proof on inside and outside polished. He has over $33K in it. The cowling was started. We have prop too. Would anyone in your chapter be interested in finishing it? It would be a good plane for 3-4 guys to make a club to finish and fly. I think it could be had for $18K. So 3 guys with $6K each and you have a flying club. I can get more pictures too. Right now the wings are off and in my hangar and so is fuselage.

Re: TAS vs Fuel Flow

Now the % pwr vs TAS, that relationship would normally be IAS vs pwr. ?But he simply used TAS to express two relationships on one graph.

If your doing doing checks of your pitot static system use GS vs TAS ? Test is done at same altitude and indicated airspeed, approximate. ?
