Some of these pictures are amazing, but the 10/25/10 one looks like you're

KR> website change, sunsets

2010-12-28 Thread Larry Knox 
If you are leaving our valley you have to find a hole and the rest of the
world is usually clear. If you want back in you have to ask the lord for a
special favor like another hole or a receding hairline along the mountains.
My IFR is roads, rivers and railroads if your current IFRR. We went up thru
a hole this summer on our way to CO over on the west side of the valley, we
are on the east side, and the whole valley bank to bank was totally obscured
in big of beautiful white blanket, as beautiful as I've ever seen after my
departure from Antioch CA in the spring of 62 after waiting 2 months for the
hole, again on my way to CO. Larry

 I find myself going back to your list of "sunset" photos, sometimes compelled 
to find my favorite. However, this is a impossible task, as they all 
have exclusive aspects.

Keep in mind that most of my sunset pictures are made only a few minutes 
away from my home airport, and with more altitude, the trip back is usually 
2-3 minutes.  And like the text under the 13th photo down ("fire in the 
hole") on http://www.n56ml.com/sunsets/ explains, quite often it's clear 
over the airport but overcast nearby.  So it's pretty easy to climb through 
perfectly clear air and on above the edge of the overcast to take pictures 
to the west.

KR> Turbos on VW Mech. Vs. Elec.

2010-12-28 Thread John J. Pellegrino 
It seems to me that adding an expensive electric turbo with all of the 
associated weight and complications, plus the extra time it will take to 
sort it all out, to me, would be a lot less attractive than just going to a 
larger engine. I have in the back of my mind the idea of how great the 
Continental 0-300 would be in lots of kitplanes. It has been done many times 
before. The weight would be comparable to all of the "complications". 0-300s 
have 145 H.P. Remember this 6 cylinder engine in the old Cessna Skyhawks up 
to 1967? When they put the 150 H.P. Lycomings in the Hawks, you could notice 
how smooth the Continental was and the Hawk is a much bigger airframe to 
absorb vibration.  I drove Corvairs and that 6 cylinder engine is very 
smooth also. A smoother running engine will be easier on the avionics, the 
airframe, and the Pilot. Last point, turbos or superchargers can get you 
more power, but you will be rebuilding the engine sooner, which keeps you on 
the ground. Mark has worked is all out where he has been able to amass hours 
in the air, and I think that will be my goal also.

just my thoughts,
John Pellegrino

KR> Turbos on VW Mech. Vs. Elec.

2010-12-28 Thread Vaughan Thomas 
electric turbo's - glad you put in the ha ha otherwise it would be a joke! 
The whole idea of conventional turbos is to utilise the waste energy 
draining out the exhaust pipes.  The only use of 'electric turbos' would be 
to reduce your  cash reserves!

Ha ha,

Seems no one has respect for the ones on ebay.

http://www.car-forums.com/s7/t248.html

Though there are some very valid statements when you think about it, then
there is Tomas Knight, seems his name is all over the place when it comes to
elec turbos, but his units are 2500 bucks.

http://www.boosthead.com/product.php

There is alot of good information, though it seems to validate the point,
you can't run the turbo at the rate it needs to run to be effective  with
the power the alt will produce. It can only be run for short hops (good for
take offs and maybe stalls, to pull out of them).

Though 2500 for a good elec turbo system is a bit out there, sicne it
requires extra battries it reduces the weight savings drastically.  Seems
the cheaper ones are not very valid as they have no tests I could find to
back up thier claims.

Here are some of the other people:
http://www.autoaccessorystore.com/product/MimoUSA-Electric-Supercharger/Default.aspx?dr=1
http://www.electricsupercharger.net/

One would think for 2500 it better work, but I could see alot of people
tempted by $100 turbo to just try it out. I'm sure they see some increase,
but worth the weight and drain?
