The format will be the same as last year, but this year, in addition to being the annual fly-in for Western Canada Wing, it will also be a general fly-in for all types of homebuilts. Keep an eye on the Fly-in web page for details, http://www.vansairforce.org/CYNJ Perhaps you're already the proud owner of a flying RV. Lucky you! Then you'll surely want to fly in for a chance to win the People's Choice award for the best homebuilt, and to show off your beautiful airplane. There's also a Furthest award, for the homebuilt that flies the furthest distance to get there. There will be plenty of space on the field for parking. You can come for the day, camp on the field, or stay in one of the hotels near the airport. There are links to the local Travelodge on the web page. Currently building an RV? Then you'll enjoy our seminars. The seminar schedule isn't set yet, but you can expect sessions on building, safety, and perhaps more. I'll be making more announcements as details are set. Are you an RV wannabe? Seriously thinking about building one, but unsure about what's involved, the cost, the time commitment? Worried that you don't have the skills? Then you may want to attend the seminar I'll be giving, "Introduction to RV Building." The seminar will cover those basic questions, and others, and will be a place where you can ask whatever's on your mind about the building process. Gus Funnell, from Van's Aircraft, will be there to give the official perspective on your questions. If you just like to look at RVs, this is probably going to be your best chance inside Canada this year. There are about 50 RVs registered in B.C., and we hope to have a sizable portion of them at Langley. Naturally, we're encouraging anyone who wants to fly in, regardless of what type of airplane they have. If you plan to attend, and especially if you plan to fly in, please take the time to sign the Guest Book on the Fly-in web page. http://www.vansairforce.org/CYNJ/guestbook/lac_sign.html That will help us plan facilities such as food and washrooms.

There will also be a representative from Murphy aircraft, and a booth from Demel. There will be camping on the field as well as local hotel accommodation for anyone who wants to stay overnight.

I actually have a couple of them and never play them because I don't get much fun out of them. I wonder if it is because a player has no peripheral vision for a game or whether you need the manual nearby or memorize what keys do what since the stick only has a limited number of buttons on it and can't respond well. Until I got my new computer, the stick would not even respond to aileron and it just annoyed me to fight a stick which would not act as a real a/c would. I even crash when I should not, and this in a lousy Piper Cub ! Needless to say, combat, or landing on a carrier is a disaster...I can't see how players get any skill or fun out of these things, but some kids actually do ! One thing that really pisses me off is I don't seem to be able to set the trim properly on the stick, which is a Microsoft stick, and must continually hold back stick to keep any a/c level, or it will nose down...that should not be.... Any comments ? Austin.

Give them a call to find out what you need for a good basic but solid flight simulation system before you spend significant cash. Properly equipped with a good system including rudder pedals and the joy stick or control system of choice, you might find a whole new world of personal entertainment that still has to a reasonable relationship with aviation. A fairly up to date computer system with a lot of memory and a good high end graphics card is almost a must. There is almost no limit to what can be spent but a moderate sum will have you flying and enjoying. Some help with setting up the components can be found on the web. Google to flight simulation, flight Sims or similar queries to find info. There should be a flight simulation geeks club {[g-) or group in the area that would provide some valuable input. Ask at some of the neibourhood or local computer stores for contacts with other flight simulation people. Anyone out there have other suggestions?

I heard from George McNutt that you sold your RV! It must have been hard for you to part with it. My project has been on hold since I got laid off last year. In truth it was already stalled before that. But I have a contract back at my old employer, for quite good money, and I hope that the regular hours and the regular income will help me get the project back on track. I think, after not building anything for over a year (including parts of my house), I'm feeling motivated to get back at it. I don't have much experience with PC flight simulators. I did have a chance to fly a recent version of MS Flight Simulator about six months ago, and I was quite impressed with it. But you hit on the critical problems: poor visibility and poor "feel" in the controls. I've heard that you can get very high-end joysticks that have tactile feedback, but I've never tried one. As "simulators" I think the PC games are, well, games. But they are useful as procedures trainers, especially for IFR. I know that people network their PCs and have virtual fly-ins using MS Flight Simulator. Silly, by comparison with a real fly-in, but probably fun in its own way. To really enjoy Flight Sim, though, I think you have to be a "gamer," which I'm not. I never did catch the PC game bug -- too old, maybe. I can't say I'm sorry. Years ago I had Flight Sim and a joystick with trim. The trim worked pretty well, but I do recall that I had to monkey with the settings to get the trim to work the way I wanted. I don't remember any details, though, and it has probably changed a lot since then. Here's what I think Flight Sim is useful for. 1. Pretending to fly, if you're not a pilot. Or, if you are a pilot, pretending to fly something much more exotic than anything you've actually flown. 2. Practicing or learning IFR procedures and techniques. 3. Learning other kinds of flight procedures, such as circuits, formation, or watch-map-ground navigation. I've flown formation with a PC flight game (not Flight Sim) and it wasn't a bad way to practice. Not quite like the real thing, but close enough to be fun and somewhat useful. When I get my project moved over to my new workshop in the garage I'll invite you over for a look.

This is a great opportunity and too good to pass up. They want me over there pronto and so I will start the job already on October 18th. My tools will not work there since everything is 220/50hz. It is also very tough to get a moving company to take the wings and empennage. Wings are 80% complete but not covered yet. One of the wings have one side covered. One fuel tank (w/capacitive senders) is done and leak tested. The other tank is ready for sealing. Landing lights have been fitted in the leading edge. Empennage is inspected and closed. I have the inspection papers. Ailerons needs to be built. Flaps needs to be built. The wings comes in a cradle. I also have a TSO'd altimeter w/light, VSI w/light and compass w/light. I have a heated pitot/static tube from Gretch Aero. Tools: 13" drill press - 250-3100 rpm - $90cdn 5 hp/20g Air compressor - $300cdn Band saw (small - $40 takes it) bench grinder with scotchbrite wheel - $25cdn bench belt sander - $25cdn Plus: I have absolutely everything else including torque wrench - pneumatic squeezer, drill press, rivet gun, 37.5 deg. flare tool, compressor etc. I have several bucking bars (all you need) and all rivet sets you need. All aircraft specific tools are mostly Avery but some from Cleaveland Everything must be sold and picked up by October 12 so it will no doubt be a steal for whoever buys it. You can e-mail me at are_barstad@manulife.com or call me at 416-460-5141 (cell). I can sell parts (i.e. tools separately) but all aircraft parts must go as one lot. Wings and empennage will go for US$2900 (~$3750 cdn) I do not have the ability or time to ship items unless it's a larger tool collection. Are Barstad --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
