Subject: Robert Hensarling GN-1 N83887 Hi Greg. Great to hear from you, and thanks for the progress reportfrom Mike. He's a neat guy, and in fact the whole family isexceptional. I hope the Airbike turns out a good as you say, I know Ihad tons of fun in it. I sure love the little GN-1, only wich I couldget the CG right (with me at 200 pounds, and 1/4 tank of gas, Icalculate I'm almost 5" behind the aft CG of the GN, that can getexciting). Keep in touch, and I think you were going to send a photo of you andmy GN someday. Take care! Robert Robert, I stopped in and saw Mike and Jay Tevis this weekend. I told themhow pleased you were with the GN-1 and everthing you've been doing. Mike was very happy that things are going so well. I told him aboutyour adding the smoke system. He said he had added a smoke system to aultralight he had. He said he had used a model airplane electric fueltransfer pump to deliever smoke oil with. Mike has the Air Bike painted and was almost done reassembling it. It looks great. I always thought the Air Bike would be fun to fly. Mike told me to come back in a couple of weekends to see.

I've looked and looked for the picture and haven't found it yet. I havefive kids and we take pictures of every school, sporting event, etc. Sowe have pictures everywhere! I'll keep looking and try to email you. I'll stop by and ask Mike or his dad about that and see if they have anysuggestions. I remember Don (Mike's dad) having a simiular problem witha Breezy. I don't know how he solved it but I'll find out. Have youevery thought of adding weight forward of the firewall? Maybe it's timeto add electric and put the battery up there? Or a small transfer fueltank behind the engine. Seems like I remember someone telling me theydid that once to help CG.Greg Yotz -----Original Message-----
