3rd Annual Pre-Oshkosh Fly-In Pool Party July 23rd!

forward to it. Brother Steve has already been arm twisted
(didn't take much) into co-pilot duties so, once again the Allison
brothers from the left coast will journey East...though, a bit faster this
time. Need to look at one day vs. two in getting to IOW but that's all
part of the planning fun.


Wanna plan on a convoy from the left coast to IOW that weekend? The 182 has
a hard time meeting 110 knots TAS, but we can certainly make some
arrangements.

First night stop is either Rawlins or Alliance, with a relatively easy next
day into IOW. No reason to press the issue unless you need to.

Of course Jack knows best, but I'm getting the impression that a one day
scoot might be in his thoughts.... g

If you remember the movie A Christmas Story (1983)

Ralphie's little brother gets a blimp (on wheels) for a toy. He was in a
background shot, like a kid on speed, pushing his metal toy dirigible
around, and around (like a race car) and around, and around - as fast as he
could spin himself in a circle - it's a blimp!!. Later, we see him passed
out (exhausted) "under" the Christmas Tree, cuddling his new toy :-)

Good Gawd, Jim! Try positioning that black knob further towards the
*front* of the aircraft! You might be amazed...

Happy Flying!

When avgas was 50 cents a gallon, that was the operative solution. I
generated a series of spreadsheets that tells me for any given head/tail
wind what the optimum miles per gallon power setting is and I fly that
fairly religeously. It isn't in my pocketbook to fly any other way.

We got a guy here who flies his 180 at 20 squared. Always. 100 feet
off the runway he powers down. We all laugh at him.

Wow. At 20 squared, we don't need headphones to talk in a conversational
voice. And we're puttering along at 100 knots or so.

Of course, we're also only burning around 8 gph, which -- if you're not
really in a hurry -- is always nice!

I don't think I'd be pulling back to that at 100 AGL, though...

That thought has crossed my mind Jim...so long as there are no stops at
little known former airports for unscheduled repairs :-)

When I get a chance to do some flight planning based on the numbers for
the Arrow, I'll drop you an e-mail (or, just fly up to your neck of the
woods...now that I can).

I'll be in the hangar for the next couple of weekends R&R that band-aid jug
I put on in Wyoming to get me home. When you land, ask Unicom to point you
to my hangar.

Give me the model number for the Arrow and I'll gin up a spreadsheet for
your W/B. You will have to do all the add/subtract from your logbooks for
the stuff that has been put on and taken off over the years.

Hmmm, I think I may have to pay a visit sometime the weekend of the
23rd/24th. Any time of the day better for you?

Cool...I hate the graphs in the POH as they're only so accurate. It's a

Yeah. I'm doing an annual on a Champ Saturday morning. I'll be back at the
hangar late Saturday afternoon and probably all day on Sunday.

I'm working on it. I'll post it to you by email. How about a real address
instead of that garbage you have in your header?
