  • Hello,
    I've gathered from the PRA section that you are the tech guy for the PRA. I have a PhD in computer science (security), 20+ years industry experience, and have been programming for over 40 years (since I was a teen). I'll be happy to help out when I can with some of the tech stuff if you need/want the help.

    Good morning Glyn.
    Anyone who will help is a hero to our community and me.

    I was the tech guy. Now it is Bobby = Sv.grainne. Please contact him.

    IIRC he has converted the site to Linux and word press.
    How you may be able to help? Do you program in Windows .Net 6?

    See my full request for help in the current PRA raffle ticket thread.

    OK. On my way to check it.
    Yes, I know .Net, but with Linux and Wordpress that doesn't make sense.

    All_In,
    If this forum shuts down how would I be able to find out when and where the Fuel Flow Totalizer could be purchased once it's finished and being sold? I definitely want to be one of your first customers. [email protected]

    Thank you,
    Ernie

    Contact John on the PRA Facebook site or PRA website once it comes back to life.
    Never assume another individuals liability - Aviation is an exercise in risk assessment & NOTHING is SAFE

    47 years ago my dad showed us kids an old film of a bunch of guys and my dad in an old Steward Davis Jet Packet having a ball.

    "See those guys? Half of them are dead" I've laid to rest old bosses and friends who did nothing close to hazardous or illegal.

    That's what aviation is, a risk

    Hi John:

    From all the talk on the forums, I am thinking the PRA site is still in work and logins are disabled for now.
    I have tried to log in using my member number, and password, but I am getting nowhere.
    If global web support is you, then you must be very busy and I should be more patient.

    I am concerned that I may have done something wrong and have been banned.

    I just saw this. Thank you for telling me.
    I've set your account to active for now.
    We are in the twilight zone running 3 databases at the same time to create a new website from one of them eventually.
    I will need to search for the last payment from a 4th independent financial house database and let you know.

    Hi John, same here
    Are you selling MGL instruments? What is the price on an E-1 engine monitor?

    Electronic parts are taking longer to get parts, for my college sponsored electronic projects and for MGL they have emailed me telling us it may take longer than normal for out of stock orders.

    John, I have the infinity E-3 engine monitor. I was thinking of upgrading to one of the new color instruments. The Vega EMS-1 would drop in if the electrical pinouts are the same, and it used the same sensors. Rewiring wouldn't really be that difficult as it would just be cut and splice. The Blaze EMS-2 would have a bigger display for my old eyes. I'd have to redo my panel though.
    All_In, I'm into Powered Parachutes. Everyone I've talked to at the field, not only Powered Parachutes but also Powered Paragliders have said they want one. When this comes out, I think you're going to have a LOT of customers on your hands. Please keep the website up to date on what's happening. Everyone at the field keeps asking. Thank you Sir.
    All_In,
    I have a question on the fuel line size. Will the Fuel-Flow Totalizer be set up for 1/4" or 3/8" line? The tank I just ordered is set up for 1/4" line.

    Thanks,
    Ernie

    I'm not all in but would imagine 1/4" due to fuel flow requirement.

    We are using 1/4 for the RAF it is being fitted with a Lycombing O320 and that is what they used.
    All_In,
    The more I think about the Fuel-Flow Totalizer idea the more I like it. First, where can I get this information? It would be worth waiting until next year to purchase one. Since I'm having my cylinder gas tank made do you know what modifications I might need on the gas tank for the Fuel-Flow Totalizer? I appreciate the information. [email protected] Thanks again, Ernie

    Actually I'm debugging the Fuel Flow Totalizer program for the students now, and taking a break. We will be testing it this week and will share it here too.

    It's done as a prototype. Now it's is off to UCSD electronic engineering department for a real commercial board. The class is for ten weeks to finish.
    Good Day John. Thank you most kindly for reaching out. We will start working on a press release and contact you soonest. We are just sorting out the Corona challenge currently. I am most appreciative of you making contact. Have a magical day.

    Hey John, it’s Nick from chapter 18. One of our members lives next to someone who works for a local news station in Indiana. He was interested in bringing press to the convention but said he needs a press release from the PRA to submit to his bosses for consideration. Could you provide that for me? Or tell me where to find it. My email is [email protected]

    Thanks
    See you in a few days!!

    Greetings, I've been working 100% on PRA national. I've almost finished all of my wish lists for PRA.
    PRA 31 start having monthly meeting when I get back from the convention after 8/6. I'm leaving on a work detail 7/5.
    Are you sending out a batch email asking people to restart the chapter, go to the meeting or what exactly? If it is to go to the meeting for whatever reason, could you word it so that they let me know who or really how many people are coming? Thanks, John

    BTW I figured out why I had so many messages stored, they still count if they are in the trash....

    Hi John. I emailed you a copy to approve before I can send it out. You may rewrite it away way you wish. Here is the non pretty version where if they click the Jazzen John in the link it takes them to their email browsers so they can contact you for the address as it's not listed in this version.

    Didn't get it John, This is the edited version of the rough draft.
    Hi John.....hope all is well.
    Got a quick question......I am thinking of donating my Radial Powered Avromania Gyro to the PRA museum. Do I get a tax write- off for this donation? How does it work? Just checking into some options.

    Thanks,
    Barry

    Hi Barry
    Both the museum and PRA are 501 3c corporations making donations tax deductible.
    You donate the gyro and we provide you with a filled out IRS donation form 8283. It must be valued at fair market value. I expect that would be what you paid for her less the value of the original eng. Then add in what you paid for the radial engine and the combine total is what we could list according to IRS rules. There is a way to get a higher value but would rather talk on the phone about that. 619 743 6712

    I'd like to try to organise some balancing education and training at Bensen days 2018. I have developed a number of options. Do you want to organise this through PRA or should I go direct to the organisers of Bensen days?
