One end of the siphon has a self-priming mechanism that is activated by jiggling it up and down, which starts the fuel flow, and once it starts, it transfers about 3.5 gallons/minute. I was skeptical until I tried it, and it started with just 2-3 "jiggles," and emptied a full 5 gallon gas container in just a couple of minutes, without spilling a drop.

Here is a YouTube video of how this works (although it took this person a lot more effort to get the fuel flowing than what it took for us): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZfVegKo4WH0.

Bear Perkins sells these for all of $8.00, http://www.bearperkins.com. Just go to his catalog and search on jiggle siphon.

Pauline continues to stay healthy, has had no real side effects to the treatment since day one , and is bound and determined to fight as hard as is necessary to achieve a total cure from her leukemia.

To those that were unable to visit, we thank you for any thoughts or prayers you may have conveyed to Pauline. We think of every member of the GSSR club as our friends, not a bad egg among us, for which we are grateful. We look forward to seeing everyone this coming season for the best flying ever. To that end, this reminder that, on June 23 & 24, we are going to hold a Fly-In at a small grass airfield near our home. We hope that you will try and make it and look forward to seeing you then.

There were no changes for me so I followed the instructions and paid the $ 5.00 fee. About a week later my new Aircraft Registration arrived.
It now has an expiration date of January 31, 2015.

Don’t forget to renew your Experimental Light Sport Aircraft (ELSA) Registration before it expires or your Airworthiness Certificate will become invalid.

Smooth landings,

Hi Darlene,

I am proud to finally share my education site called http://airportmanagementdegrees.com with you!

Searching for an Airport Management degree program was a difficult process for me. I created http://airportmanagementdegrees.com to make sure others do not have the same experience! On my homepage, prospective students will find detailed information about Airport Management programs across the country. My resources section offers more in-depth info about a career in Airport Management.

Would you help me reach prospective students with this beneficial site by adding it to your resources of your local flying clubs?

Please let me know if there is anything else you need from me in order to add my link. Thanks for taking a look!

Regards,

Courtney Henderson]]>

For reasons too many to get into in this small space, our goal of helping Blue Heron over the S-LSA "hump" just never materialized, and we made the decision recently to purchase an S-LSA from a manufacturer that had already completed the certification process.

The list of certified manufacturers is small, and we also had some specific plane-related requirements that ultimately led us to our decision to become a dealer for Infinity Power Parachutes out of Michigan. We have a Chrome Blue S-LSA on order, with a custom chute also in the works from Performance Designs. The plane is already nearly complete, and we will be taking delivery once the custom chute is complete and the plane is test flown by the manufacturer.

As difficult as these last two years have been for us from a business standpoint, we are even more excited to be back flying again, and can't wait to join you all in our many different adventures throughout this new year.

We'll post some pictures of our new plane once we take delivery, and expect an appropriate number of "ooooh" and "aaaaahhh" comments when we do

There are many different courses out there, each with different benefits. I opted for the course by Gleim (http://www.gleim.com) based on all the reviews I could find, plus the free module they allowed me to take to see how I liked the presentation of the material. There are a total of 16 modules, each geared to take about an hour to complete, after which time a final exam is taken/graded, and if passed, Gleim will file the appropriate paperwork on behalf of the CFI, rather than requiring the CFI to go their local FSDO (which for me is in Maine, and not a short drive).

I'm more than half way done already, and like the material quite a bit. It's a good refresher for sure, although there is GA-based material in the course that simply does not apply to flying PPCs, but that's true for just a Sport Pilot certificate as well.]]>
