?Ernie, we?re having a problem keeping fuel in the tank of our RV-12, Falcon-1. It goes through the tank, through the fuel lines, into the carbs, into the cylinders, gets burned, and goes out the exhaust. I think the issue is we now have some nice weather and the kids are flying a lot? we now have 650 hours on Falcon-1!?

Eagle's Nest Projects
Alex McGonegal?s 1st Supervised Solo
Senior at Westosha's Central high school and an outstanding ENP student-builder
"Central High School STEM Aviation program is celebrating another Solo. Senior Alex McGonegal has become our latest Eagle?s Nest student to solo. It was April 24th, a beautiful day in Burlington Wisconsin just before sunset. Winds were light, favoring runway 29. Alex and his flight instructor, Mr. Dan Lund, just finished his lessons for the day. Mr. Lund then gave Alex some last instructions before exiting the aircraft; ?Just fly the aircraft like you have been taught?, he said. Alex proceeded to runway 29, run-up checklist complete, traffic call over the radio, taxied to 29 for takeoff. Alex completed three nice landing before taking back to Eagle?s nest hanger to have his shirt cut. Alex plans to complete this private pilot license this summer before heading to Michigan Technological University this fall to study Chemical Engineering. Congratulation to Alex and is flight instructor Dan Lund." -Jim Senft
Stay tuned for more from Alex and Dan?
