What a great way to start a new web page. I am in Colorado Spring working and
Saturday I went riding around and found Meadow
Lake Airport. It is similar to Moontown Airport in Alabama as far as
activity and hangers. It is privately owned by the pilots who have hangers
there. I met a few RV flyers and found out that there are about 25 RVs on the
field. Not only that but there are a lot of aviation business on the field also.
One of the businesses RVBuilder.com does
RV repair and construction work most everyday. This is got to be RV haven, at
least in these parts! I met Wyman Varnedoe who built and flys a RV8. He told me
to come back if I had some free time for an RV8 ride.

level.

I received my Dyna Vibe - Dynamic Prop Balancer this week and today I did my
aircraft. I've noticed some vibration recently and since I am now an A&P
mechanic I decided to just buy the unit to do this, I've heard others say that
they need get get their plane done, so now I can do this for others. As I was
doing this process I could tell it was making a difference. I went from .48 ips
down to .06 ips with just a couple adjustments. If you are interested in getting
this done to your aircraft just email me to setup an appointment. You can click

Prop Balancing web page.

Today I flew to Mt. Vernon, IL for a fly-in they were having, I info I received
about it said that they would have free food for people that flew in, that was
all I needed to hear! The free lunch was provided by the Mt. Vernon Airport
Authority, SRT Aviation, and EAA Chapter 1155 at the SRT Aviation
Hangar. Plenty of SRT's Deep Fried Turkey, Rick's Pulled Pork
BBQ, and all the fixins. I meet a WWII vet that was right there with
Patton's troops during the invasion. He had his awards there on display 5 bronze
stars and 1 Silver Star were just a few of them. He had a Nazi Flag and sword
that he found and brought back with him. Nice little fly-in. I flew up at 6500
ft where it was a crisp 25 degrees. Coming back I choice to stay low, under the
clouds 3500 feet and 45 degrees.

I flew to Bowman Field in Louisville, KY today and did two dynamic prop balances
then flew in a loose gaggle of four to Sporty's east of Cincinnati, OH. After
leaving Sporty's I flew back to Bowman to do one more prop balance before
heading home.
