Hi Ryszard,

 

That is an excellent idea.  I've done the master switch goof before.  Put me down for $100 in the name of Central States Association toward what tools that are needed  I just need to know who's name goes on it?

Ya' know, it recently occurred to me that a 12 volt battery charger of useful amperage (not a small wall wart type trickle charger) might help get someone home.  Anyone who's upgraded to lithium batteries or a modern smart charger have an old regular one cluttering up their hangar?  Forgetting to switch off the battery master is another one of those "there are those who have and those who will" predicaments.

The "Get You Home" box. Rutan Aircraft Flying Experience is sponsoring a foot locker of spares that might be just what someone needs to get them home. The park has agreed to give us a space to store this box so spares are available year round. So far we have: 

 

Nose wheel tire and wheel. 

Lamb tire, tube and wheel 

5 inch tire, tube and wheel. 

A couple spare spark plugs. REM-40E and REM-38

 

We'll also come up with some basic tools. Anyone have other ideas or parts they'd like to contribute please let us know.
