With all of the cold we have been getting, I finally got out for an hour today. Lots of snow around here, about 3+ feet. Air was perfectly smooth, which made cruising at 1 foot above the ice on local lakes just fine. I'm in MN and west WI. I was dreaming about going to Brodhead. Actually Sun n Fun Is coming up soon. I'm hoping everybody will come down and see us in the Wood Workshop.Dick N.________________________________________________________________________________

Great to hear you're getting up in the winter - at least it's been a little warmer lately.Hey - we should talk about Sun-N-Fun. I may have a project for you down there but I'd need to know how to arrange the material shipping an all. Let's keep in touch.Tom B.

Hi TuckerWhen you get the mock-up done, don't forget to sit in it and make airplane noises.Just make sure no-one can see or hear you. Of course, none of US has EVERdone that..... Keep it up. You'll have it ready to solo when you turn 16 and that would be nosmall accomplishment.Read this topic online here:

Don,I think if you re-read Dick's post, the point he was making was that carb icingis actually LESS of a problem in cold (below freezing) winter air.Bill C.Read this topic online here:

DonYou and others said more clearly what I had intended on. A clear day at 25 degrees is much more prefferable than a day at 50 degrees with haze. Dick N. ----- Original Message -----
