Ill. at Champaign. There are two airports there, the HUGH one on the south side of town and the smaller (better ) one on the north of town. I think you were at that one at the Sport Aviation fly-in. I got in 1.5 hours in the KR yesterday with several highspeed passes with a Q-200 about 30 feet off my right wing !!!!!! Had to spend some time at both airshows. Left the house at 8:00am and got home at 8:30pm. I need to work on my oil leaks. They are starting to bug me. I'm having to wipe oil off the belly every time I fly. D#M* !!!

Emile Meneke was a German fighter pilot in World War 1. He fought in Turkey and became an ace. After the war he worked as test pilot for Focker Aircraft in Holland until he retired in 1945 as chief test pilot. He immigrated to Canada . I met this pilot in 1961. He was full of stories of aviation from all ages. One story came about as he and I were looking at a swaged nicropress connection on an aircraft cable. I had suggested that the nicropress fitting was the weak link in the connection. He said no. We used to join two control cables when necessary by taking a piece of copper tubing just large enough to run both cables through it, the end of the cables stuck out the opposite ends. The copper tube was about 10 inches long.You then took two vise grips, one on each end of the copper tube and twisted it up like a rope for about 5 turns. He said that it would never pull apart. I still like the three squeezes on the present nicro[press system. Emile Meneke died of natural causes at age 85. His son Hans, also a pilot and homebuilder, built a Stits Flutter bug which he was testing around 1970. He had to take care to keep an eye on his father, who would have loved to climb in and go, poor eye sight and all. Regards, Harold Woods Orillia,ON.

I have been searching the archives and they are mentioned so often it is hard to find the info I'm after, 3.5 hours of reading and I am more confused. So I have a few questions below and if people could reply I will colate the info into a single source of info. a.. Links to photos, building details, etc (forget the reast below if it is on your link.) b.. Size, width X height X thickness 3.. Construction material 4.. Weight 5.. Holes? Yes or No 6.. How hinged 7.. How deployed, leverage required (I'm planing on a manual lever like a hand brake in a car) 8.. Performance (effectiveness) statistics. 9..
