Pieters;I don't think I'll be making the trip to Urbana for the SAA fly-in in June since I'm planning to use my vacation time to drive to Brodhead in July. My question is, it isn't that far out of my way going up to Brodhead to detour to Urbana. Is there much to see at Frasca Field when there isn't a fly-in going on?Oscar ZunigaSan Antonio, TXmailto: taildrags(at)hotmail.comwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net________________________________________________________________________________

Mike-My guy never said BOO about it either. I got the feeling that the FAA positionwas more of a "sign this form stating that you have complied with EVERYTHING sowe can never be accused of overlooking anything". ie. Builder, it's all on yourshoulders now.I DID put an ELT in mine just behind my seat and use a "T" on the antenna connectionto hook up my handheld. The antenna is vertically mounted on an aluminuminspection plate down there and the antenna is mounted internally just aft ofthe aft seat so it's hidden inside the fuselage.I bought the ELT at Sun-n-Fun last year. Remind me to tell you the story of gettingit through the airport inspection station at Orlando coming back home!Larryps. To whoever asked......my Mag switch is a heavy duty toggle switch mounted outsidethe cockpit on the right side of the aft cockpit. (I got the idea froman old Tiger Moth) It's easy for me to reach either in or out of the cockpit andit's easy for me to check when I'm hand propping to make sure of it's position.________________________________________________________________________________
