The 2000 Gathering at Lake Barkley State Resort Park in western Kentucky will be held on Friday Sept. 22 thru Sunday Sept. 24th. The phone number for the lodge is 1-800-325-1708. All rooms not taken by July 23rd. will be released to the public. There is already a public waiting list. With the banquet being held right at the lodge, no driving will be required. That way you don't have to watch out for all the deer wondering around...........ask someone who was there last year about the deer. In addition to the rooms, I have also reserved a couple of cottages and they have one log cabin left. I stayed in a cottage last year. Get a couple of guys and share one, you'll have a big time. My log cabin is already filled up for this year. I know that several of the rooms have lofted ceiling overlooking the lake. For those of you who did not make it last year, if you don't want to drive you can eat, sleep, tell lies at the airport without ever needing a car. The lodge has a great lofted ceiling dining area that serves a great breakfast, lunch and dinner. It overlooks Lake Barkley. We will be serving dinner Friday night and lunch Saturday afternoon at the airport. I'm getting the same people to cater it. Be sure and bring your family and lots of film. What kind of forums do you want.............time to start lining people up now? You talking KISS, check this $27,000 baby out:-), OH, darn it runs on 24volts....... http://www.smithsind-aerospace.com/isis/intro1.html Dana Overall 2000 KR Gathering host Richmond, KY mailto:kr2616tj@aol.com http://www.geocities.com/CapeCanaveral/hangar/7085/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: firewall materials From: "Oscar Zuniga" Date: Sun, 27 Feb 2000 16:21:17 PST X-Message-Number: 31 Mike wrote: >I seriously considered going with aluminum sheet over the fiberfax.

And no I did not go with the SS tinfoil that >RR sells, I used the .016. :o) The prototype M-19 uses .020" 2024-T3 aluminum over a 3/4" marine plywood firewall, cemented in place using a whole tube of high-temp silicone RTV. It got past the FAA that way. I shied away from that, based on Bingelis' recommendations, and used Fiberfrax between the aluminum and the plywood, and no RTV. Had I thought about it earlier, I might have even gone with galvanized sheet metal instead of the fiberfrax and aluminum (I'm cheap).

I use a facet pump to transfer the fuel to my header tank (12gal) as needed.I have found that if you have any fuel left in the wings when you land you should pump as much as possible to the header to help the cg. Having wing tanks really helps on a long cross country and that is the only time that i use my wing tanks.

Little or no clearance is required to tack the parts together. A good welder should be able to determine where to start the welds to get minimum distortion. Years ago when I worked at Piper Aircraft, as a certified welder, almost all parts were straghtned after welding (seats, throttle brackets, engine mounts, etc.) Good Luck, Bill Zorc Vero Beach, FL ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: Re: Fuel Tanks From: "J.R.L. Engineering Consortium Ltd." Date: Sun, 27 Feb 2000 21:01:18 -0600 X-Message-Number: 34 I have my wing tanks installed in the outer wing sections, 9 Gal/tank, I also have a 7 Gal header fuel cell tank with a float switch which will control two fuel pumps[ one for each wing tank]. I use a adjustable time delay "ON" automatic alternating relay to control the pumps with manual override switches. The header tank is always within a gallon of being full. If you are interested, see the details at www.jrl-engineering.com . As the fuel is exhausted from the wing tanks the KR C.G. will shift forward slightly.

With ATT they came through in blue and were accessible by just clicking them on. Now, with AOL everything comes through in black and white, I have to copy the info, then type the addresses in the address window. I'm sorry to post this but I've E-mailed AOL once and called them twice but no one can help. I don't really need this frustration - I haven't recovered from making gussets yet! All help appreciated, off-line preferably, unless others are experiencing this also. Thanks.

You are stuck with coping and pasting. The only other suggestion is getting a Hotmail or Yahoo email account. Also please notice my ISP isn't AOL. :) (even though i could get a reduced rate) Trent Flemming Longview, TX www.geocities.com/CapeCanaveral/Hall/9098 >Since changing from ATT Worldnet to AOL, I am unable to access the links you >guys put in your posts.
