Young Eagles - March 19, 2011

Thanks to Mike Saettele for bringing his Flight Sims to the Young Eagles Rally. They were a big hit with the kids (and adults too). If you didn't get a chance to see them, come to the April 9th Young Eagles Rally. He plans on bringing them again.

On Wednesday, August 10th, after 11 years, 4 months, and 12 days, Jim Bower flew his RV-6A for the first time. See his project from unpacking to first flight.

Help Needed

From Richard Jimenez, one of our Young Eagle Pilots:

I am in need of help.  I have been selling vortelator kits for both type certified and homebuilt aircraft for ten years.  The vortelator kits reduce the air drag of aircraft thus allowing them to fly faster saving fuel in the process.  We are introducing a new coating called MegaGuard® that has been wind tunnel tested to reduce air drag by 2%.  It is a clear coating that is not a wax however, polishes surfaces just like a car wax but has many more benefits than a wax.  From some testing that I have completed there is a possibility that using this coating in combination with vortelators it may be possible to increase gas mileage of cars by two MPG and maybe even more than two MPG.  Attached to this e-mail are bulletins F-12 and F-81.  These bulletins will give background information on these two products.  The help I need is to have this e-mail posted on the chapters web page with links to the two bulletins plus a posting in the news letter informing members that I am looking for a person that would be interested in using their car to conduct testing to see if in fact vortelators and MegaGuard® can increase gas mileage or not.  If the person for some reason does not want their car to have vortelators the car can easily be restored to the original condition with no after effects to the car.

The car needs to be a reasonable aerodynamically clean car such as a Chevy Avero, a Ford Focus, or a Toyota Camry.  Have a light color paint job and be a car equipped with a computer that shows the MPG.  It would also be helpful to have the person who owns the car be retired as this would allow more freedom to schedule testing.
