Tomorrow definitely is the day for flying and training at the levee. I will post

The shaking didn't bother me so much as the subsequent toxic fumes that peeled
the paint off my truck. Oh well, it needs a paint job anyway. Hopefully Santa
will bring you a new pair of jeans to replace the ones you were wearing during
the bean blast.

If your house shook this morning about 7:30 am, sorry.... too many beans in my

Seemed it also ignited some explosives over in Pasadena at the old Sunoco plant

The winds aren't showing to be as high as forcast, so I'm headed to east beach. 
Should be there around 2:30  979-218-0105

John's special event has been rescheduled due to mechanical problems.  For some
reason, the unit has a difficult problem without a good working needle bearing
on the piston.

During testing yesterday, he encountered a motor out and between the motor out
and other technical glitches, he will need to wait until spring or summer.

Anyways, keep your calendars open for an evening XC flight at West Beach on
December 31st.  I know Danny Lee and I remember a flight 5 years ago as one of
more memorable flights in our PPG flying experience.

just looked at the forecast. Looks like tomorrow is okay, but with the winds out
of the NNW there is no benefit to ocean sites. Could be a little bumpy in the
middle of the day for new pilots though.

Saturday the winds are supposed to be higher than Friday. Possibly a blowout.
But maybe just marginal, have to wait and see.

Sunday, if the forecast holds, should be a great day at the levee, but dress
warm.

I am clearing out some merchandise, some new, some used.

I  have two used varios for sale. Both of them are older models but well
maintained and fully functional. One is a Flytech, and the other is a Brauniger.
either for $175.

I have a new Mac Para medium flight suit for $230 ($60 off retail).

Also, a Mac Para Mafia large flight jacket. $125, normally $190.
http://www.macpara.com/en/clothing.html

One Mac Para Aegis 38 reserve parachute in container. Never been deployed, but
several years old, like new. $250, retails for over $550.

Happy holidays!

I would consider moving/adding the Green Eagle link to be an additional link
under the Motor's category.

Also, on both my home and work PC's under Internet Explorer, the top buttons on
the right side for "Home" and "Contact Us" do not display any text when the
cursor is not over the buttons.  When the cursor does move over the button, the
icons change, but you only see about 1/2 of the top parts of the text.

Thanks for the feedback, Jim. You ought to be a copy editor.

What did problem did you encounter when you tried to open the Green Eagle link?
It works fine when I do it.

It's good you stayed on the ground.

Yesterday, there was a pilot flying a Manta 503, a delta wing with a Rotax 503
engine, that hit power lines in Magnolia about 5:30 pm.  The Houston Chronicle
story is at:

<http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/metropolitan/6768739.html>.

The FAA has launched an investigation since it was a N-numbered aircraft.  With
all the fog we have had in the area, I wonder if he was trying to stay under the
fog bank and hit the power lines, or if he had other issues that caused him to
hit the power lines.

Andy called before I got to far and warned me that fog was closing in on the
coast. We diverted to the Park in Larmaque

Andy made it into the air while I draged my feet a bit on set-up. By the time I
was ready to take off, Andy landed because the fog was about 1000 yeards out and
closing fast so, no air time for me.
...Just as well I suppose because it looked like ideal carb-icing conditions.

Well John as you requested I have not mentioned what you are up to but I will
have your blow up doll and several canisters of orange signal smoke for you.

    If you really wish to do this and I am not here to help I can give the items
to Beery.



  Best of luck with the blow up doll and the beach extravaganza.

  sonny

LOL, This is a situation where Guinness World records will not allow me to
publically announce this as of yet so I can not divulge any specifics about this
yet. I can tell you that you will be fascinated with this event and want to see
this first hand.  It is scheduled to take place between December 27- 30, 2009. I
hope that One of these Four days will allow this to happen.

Andy,

I happen to really like your new website!! I especially like the video from
Vimeo showing the Mac Para Promo!!  It looks very comprehensive and easy to
navigate and the part I like the BEST is that it gives a phone number to call
unlike your previous website!!   Heheheheheee
Very nice job!!

Yes, that is the 'free energy' powered I Flyer which doen't even need a prop. It
will only fly pilots under 230lbs. Sorry, Beery.
