1 ’ CASTLEGAR NEWS, Thursday, July 22,1976 Dr. Erte Rice, With the Enthuslastic Assistance of Some of His Pupils at GFSS, Is Constructing a BD-5, a High Performance Mini-Plane, in a Neighbor's Garage Grand Forks Man B ong g Mini-Plane from Kit Light in Weight; High Performance Tho Gazette Grand Forks The BD5 is a. high perfor- mance ultra light’ mini-plane that can carry.only one person, that is, the pilot. It was de- signed by Jim Bede who has set long distance records in gliders. He has designed six different aircraft - one, the American Yankee was Bede's design (the BD1) which was bought up by Grumman Aircraft and is now quite popular. He has had some cess selling Kits of his BD4 which is somewhat similar to a Cessna 172, Although he sold over 4000 BD5 Kits, he has had difficulty keeping ahead of BDS Kit Builders in parts and-en- gines, > _ Dr. Ernie Rice started build- ing his BDS shortly after com- ing to Grand Forks in 1973, The BD5 Kit originally cost about $2500 but adding machining and welding costs $300; extra cost of the improved engine and accessories, $1300; radios and direction finders, $1500, and added instruments $1000, the arts and Kit will add up to about $6600. Add to-this over Synthetic Sex Perfume is Kiss Of Death to Bugs U.S. government scientists have developed a synthetic sex perfume that may be the kiss of death for male Japanese be- etles who are lured into traps expecting female companion- ship. The scientists believe the scent may be more effective than if the traps were baited by eager female beetles, The agriculture depart- ment said the scent, which duplicate's the female beetle's natural substance called lac. tone, might mean that “the days of the Japanese beetle may be numbered.” The Japanese beetles, first detected in the United States in 1916 at a Riverton, N.J., nursery, cause about $25 mil- lion a year in damage and control costs, officials said. The beetles attack more than 275 kinds of flowers, fruits, veg- etables and ornamentals, Scientists at. agriculture départment laboratories in Gainesville, Fla., and Wooster, Ohio, discovered the beetle sex lure, officials said. ‘as many’ of the 1000 hours of hard and complex work and the airplane becomes rather expensive. x However, Dr. Rice says the plane. is about two-thirds built and it has just had its last. Department of Transport in- een ae required until betare ¢ lest fi Dr. Rice tae tried to involve GFSS Flying Club members as he could in helping to build the plane. However, complexity of read- ing blueprints and delicate measurements and techniques required has sometimes tried Dr. Rice's patience let alone the members of his club. ‘Never- theless, several Club members put in many patient hours on the plane. Bil chairman of the Club, Ben Carz, Don Wood who also helped Dr, Rice to build his hanger at the airport for his Piper Tripacer in which the Club members have flown frequently, have help- ed a great deal on the BD5, Dean Moret, Norm Tartaglio, Don McCauley, James Traynor and Mae Chevildave have also helped considerably on the plane. Dr. Rice said he would like to gratefully acknowledge the generosity of neighbour Henry iebe who has Kindly donated fits of the, garage where the DBS is being constructed. The BDS5 is a new concept in flying. Some aircraft are de- signed for pleasure and aero- batics, some are designed for travelling and gliders are de- signed for gliding. The BD5 is designed to serve all three functions. It is a stable airplane for long distance flying, it is_ fully acrobatic, and it can be used as a glider (by turning off the engine during thermals). Comparing the other plane that Dr. Rice owns, here are- same interesting features: BDS statistics are followed by Tri- pacer's in 2 “Length - a0 (20.4 ft.) ss Wt, - 650 Useful Yoad © 300 "bs {690 Ibs) Engine - 85 HP, ( Fuel capacity - 25 eal 130 eal) Cruising speed - 220 mph (120 Top speed «400 mph (150 mph) Sualing sped 55-65 mph (48 - Ri ee 1800 ft. per min.

The association warned “slidé-on”* or “cap” units (a cover or roof overthe pick-up body) appeared to have been installed without the driver ensuring exhaust plpes fully extended out from under the truck body and its over- hanging camper unit, or deter- mining if the exhaust pipe was in good condition. A BCAA spokesman said exhaust fumes can leak into campers through the smallest openings in floors of trucks and camper units.

Rolling problems are re- duced, But with a motor and one person aboard, the scant buoyancy under their sterns makes them ride bow-up, stern- down and they are somewhat tippy.

BCAA asks that all owners of truck-camper combinations carefully inspect their exhaust systems. The tail-pipe should be. long enough to bring the exhaust fully out‘ from under both truck and camper. All exhaust fittings and connect- ions should be checked regular- ly for leakage. RUBBER STAMPS CASTLEGAR NEWS Phone 365-7266 191 Columbia Avo.

Beautiful Idaho M in Only Miles Away Lots of History at Ghost Town of Sandon By Rosemary Ni Tes not often that you find the main street of a town built over the top of a rushing creek—and if there were people left in the Kootenay ghost town of San- don, they'd soon tell you why not. Sandon's main street was built over Carpenter Creek, but. if you go there today, you won't see the strange sight of the waterway contained by wooden culverts and covered over by a roadway. Instead, you'll see the debris left behind when the ~ great flood of 1955 tore out the remains of the street and piled them along the side of the . creek, wy, R&J GRADING Box 143 ROBSON, B.C.

Back when it was found- * ed in the silver rush at the turn of the century, this community was the bustling hub of a mining industry that caused the term “the Silver Slocan” to be coined, .

They'll also find a museum that shows the history of the Silver Slocan, mine workings hidden away in the hills and, if they look very closely, the remnants of the formal gardens the Japanese built while they were there. Away beyond Sandon, a dirt road curves up t! the side of iuai® bioultain., 1” ieads “to alpine meadows and the forest lookout that sits atop the mountain. The road is definitely rough, and there's a hike of a mile or two beyond the road to reach the lookout, But the view from the lookout repays the hard work: the long blue sliver of Slocan Lake, the commun- ities of Silverton and New Denver and the slopes of the surrounding mountains.

Dog Passes 65 Lbs, in Stones “He made a wonderful paper-weight," said a spokea- man at the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to An- imals. “But it's utterly fantastic, We couldn't believe the size of the rocks that come out of that Itle pup.” The six-week-old part-col- lie pup, predictably, nicknamed Rocky, had been adopted from the SPCA but the new owner brought him back shortly. “The owner had taken him toa vet and the vet said he was full of stones,” snid the SPCA spokesman, “We couldn't belleve ‘it, But you could feel all these big focks inside ‘of him.” Rocky was given a laxative and he passed 65 stones, » ceereeell right now,” said the SPCA official. “We're going to keep him until we're sure he's all right, then he'll go back to the owner.” “The SPCA checked with the person who had brought in the litter which included Rocky. -and found that she used to feed: the pups on a gravel driveway. But the SPCA spokesman said none of the other pups ped any stones in them. “The only thing we can think of is that he must have been the last one to eat. And the food was all gone so he ate the rocks.” Car Pools Get the Okay From ICBC for Coverage. ‘The Insurance Corporation of British Columbia, in endors- ing the concept of car pooling, would like to clarify the point that no special insurance cover- age is required for this kind of vehicle aan pooling can have a peat ficant impact on the num- ber of vehicles on the read, and subsequently in accidents and claims. Therefore the insurance coverage is written to encour- age car pools, . Any regular insurance cov- erage that permits the vehicle to be driven to or part way to work is all that is required. The owner of a vehicle, however, might want to consid- er increasing his third party coverage because he is carrying more people in his car ona vegular basis. This coverage is quite modest in cost and provides coverage for injury or death to his passengers if he is held legally responsible, For instance, if the vehicle owner is over 25 and has insurance permitting him to drive to and from work ‘in Vancouver, the basic compul- sory third party coverage of $50,000 would have cost him $165 for this insurance year. To increase this to $500,000 would have been an additional $16, A million dollars would have just cost $22 more.
