Are most senders the same resistance values or does the resistance vary = by guage manufacturer? I did not receive a guage with the project. Thank you.

(BEI). Since acquiring the company in February, we have attempted to get the company on its feet again. While we feel we’ve put forth a great deal of effort toward this goal, we were unable to achieve the kit sales necessary to continue production. We realize the Berkut is a very high performance aircraft, with low volume production and aimed at a limited market. This is a difficult equation to balance, especially since we have always been unwilling to compromise performance or safety to make the kits cheaper.

By the way, I doubt if the sender has ever even seen Africa...it just sounds more believable to the gullable. Ask for a phone number. Using some of the discount phone cards you can call the person for less than a quarter a minute and prove to yoursel that it is a get rich scheme...but for the bad guys only. Give them your bank account number, your phone number and while you're at it a credit card number or two will get you the same results. You worked hard for your money, put it in your KR.

Visconti" Subject: FAA SECURITY Message-ID: <20010930.011100.-390123.2.viscan@juno.com> In yesterdays Boston Globe newspaper it reported that the FAA had replaced head of FAA Security at Logan Airport. She never had access to areas at Logan unless escorted. She seldom responded to reported security problems. "One official familar with airport security procedures likened it to "a General that does not have a visa to get into Bosnia and all his troops are there."" Guess what ??? She has been promoted (?) reassigned to the FAA Regional Office in Burlington, MA. She will be responsible for hiring security people for the New England Region. Should this make anyone flying in New England feel real safe? I keep thinking about the "Peter Principle" whenever news like this comes out of Logan. Jane Garvey came from Logan also.

Spring bar, downlocks, legs, also two brand-new tires (not sure of the size, but I think they are 5" Chin Shengs). Anybody interested in this retract stuff, email me direct, off-net. It will be "all or nothing". I guess this perpetuates the story that there is really only one set of original retracts, and they make the rounds from builder to builder ;o) Oscar Zuniga Medford, Oregon mailto: taildrags@hotmail.com website at http://www.geocities.com/taildrags/ _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 30 Sep 2001 19:47:04 -0500 To: krnet@mailinglists.org From: "David & Jo Ann Lininger" Subject: Re: KR> retracts for sale Message-ID: <3BB776B8.14791.2FB73F3@localhost> > > > I guess this perpetuates the story that there is really only one set > of original retracts, and they make the rounds from builder to builder > ;o) Not true!

Page 74 of the RR plan book shows the pitot tube made out of 1/4=B2 aluminum tubing. Is this regular hardware store aluminum tubing? Is there an advantage of mounting it through the leading edge of the wing? And any ideas on how to make make it removable.
