Letter from Jess Meyers

Jess uses AOL and can't post to the ng easily. He can, however, read
the posts. He just wrote this to me over email and asked that I pass
it on to this group.

Bill, a letter I sent to Corky this evening

__________________________________________________ ___

Mr. Scott, my name is Jess Meyers of Belted Air. I understand all of
the trashing both ways. We bought the project from Glenn Smith and
Bill was flying it. Our insurance could not afford two pilots at the
time. Bill's valid points were taken, corrections made, and a long
test period was carried out. We did have sprockets that were broached
improperly, the units recalled. At the same time Gates belt factory
had traced problems, if you can believe this, to people sweating or
infusing a saline solution into the belt matrix. We have since
switched manufacturer's.

Mr. Phillips is one of a kind, and I'll be the first to admit that I
have questioned a lot of his judgment. We are still out on some things
but all in all he is an honest person. You don't have to guess where
you are with him. Please don't get upset with some of his rantings.
His wife did a very good job of photography for the Kitplanes article,
and when the air to air shoot was scheduled for the article his father
passed away and it became unavailable.

Mr. J.Muretta did what I would call a overview article. Not wanting to
carry on but if you or your friends are under 200 lbs and want to fly
in the plane we offer to have you bring your own GPS and come fly with
us anytime so you may draw your own conclusions.

This is an interesting letter from Jess, but un-necessary for any reason
I can see. Corky just re-posted a post BWB made years ago.

It doesn't appear that Corky has a problem with Jess' engine or PSRU.
Heck, Corky is using a Ford with a Blanton based PSRU.(certainly related
technology) All I can see going on is Corky being tarred for remembering
and then posting one of Bill's old comments.

I'd love to take that ride, but can't meet that 200 lb limit. 8^D

Bruce it has taken me half a degree in nursing to get this all worked
out. so far I've lost nearly 10 kilos and my pilot's medicals are
getting easier. much easier.

your, my, everyone's body generates energy through the krebs cycle.
it can feed raw materials to the cycle from 3 sources.
sugars
fats
protein.

the body metabolises sugar first because it is easy, then it
metabolises fats and if none of the two are available it metabolises
protein for energy.

if you want to lose weight you need to reduce your fat intake and
increase your body's burn off of fat as an energy source.

most of us have too much sugar available in our systems for the body
ever to need to metabolise fats so the dietary intake is just stored
away for a rainy day. (you get bigger and bigger)

in my case I had all the factors in place for weight loss but didnt
lose a zot until I worked out that my sugar intake had to be reduced.
10 cups of coffee a day with white and two sugars, plus a coke or two
adds up to a small mountain of sugar each and every day.

ok to lose weight you need to reduce your sugar and fat intake.
you then need to exercise to burn off sufficient energy that the body
needs to metabolise fats to provide the needed energy.

using short muscles doesnt burn much energy but increases blood
pressure levels which has its own problems so arm exercises arent
recommended.
using the long muscles of your body burns more energy and does not
increase blood pressure as much.
so walking or swimming are the best exercises that you can engage in
to lose weight.

when you are using your muscles, use at a gentle pace keeps the
metabolism in the muscles aerobic which sees fat metabolism.
If you use your muscles so hard that they ache, the ache is caused by
the build up of lactic acid which signals that your body has switched
to anaerobic metabolism. during anaerobic metabolism no fat is
metabolised.

regular long walks at a pace which does not see muscle ache but
elevates your body metabolism so that at the end of the walk you are
just raising a sweat is just perfect for fat burn off.

regular weight loss involves a healthy diet, reduced sugar intake,
reduced fat intake and aerobic exercise of the long muscles of your
body. it is that easy.

it has taken me half of a 3 1/2 year degree in nursing to get it all
worked out. no hokum, no fad diets, nothing to buy.
I have 2 kilos to go and I am back to 73 kg from 84 kg.
(84kg is 184lb or 13 stone, 74 kilos is 11.5 stone.)

try it. you might just get a free aeroplane ride as a reward :-)

Stealth you are so right, I know from experience that what you say works. I lost
80 lbs over the last two years doing just what you say. Also Carbs need to be
watched as they turn to sugar. I am not talking about the extreme low carb diets
that Akins suggest, personally I think those are VERY dangerous diets to your
health.

I walked 1.5 miles every night and cut out saturated fats and sodas (I was
addicted to Pepsi) although I still drink diet sodas which could be another
topic in itself. If you cut out 500 calories a day you can lose 1 lb. a week,
it is really easy to do.

In 1991 I lost 200 pounds.

140 pounds of her, and 60 pounds of me. (AIDS = Aviation Induced Divorce

Back in 1975 I weighed 225 lbs and cut out candy bars and regular soda's
but still drank beer and had regular US Navy meals (read high fat) I
started running 5 miles a day (about one hour) very slowly and in 2 months
I lost 55 lbs to 170 lbs overall. 29 Years later I weight 160 lbs and have
been running and enjoying life ever since!

diet sodas are an interesting unknown as well.
the long term effects of that sugar substitute are just not known.
it is assumed to be safe. ....but so was thalidomide and diethyl
sylbestrol.

I brew my own ginger beer.

I know that one day a couple years ago I decided to go to diet soda,
and within 3 days I thought I was going into early Alzheimers. Would
put my keys on the table, turn around, and forget what I was doing and
where my keys went.

After a terrifying couple of days I figured it out and dropped off the
diet soda. A day later and I was back to my -usual- forgetful self.

Now I just don't drink sodas. Water, milk, OJ, and beer.

What is all the damn mystery and hocus pocus about? If you sit on
your ass for a living, you need to exercise more. If you break a sweat for
more than two hours a day at work, then you're probably alright with the
exercise.
If you are reading this, (statistically, I'm guessing that you're
in the upper tenth percentile of world food intake), then stop eating so
damn much! I mean jeeze, how complicated is that? Ask any third worlder,
and they'll tell you that their entire family gets along fine on what
you're eating.
Eat whatever you want, but don't eat enough every week to power a
gnu for its whole annual migration. None of this is quantum physics, folks.
Your grandmother most likely could have explained it all with far fewer
words than I've used.
Remember Occam's Razor. If you're too fat, then you probably: Don't
get nearly enough exercise, Or, Eat WAY too much food, Or(in most cases),
BOTH.
Note: If you're a carpenter, or stonemason, or blacksmith, and you
eat three ounces of low-fat lettuce a day, then I'm stumped. You must have
been really bad in a former life.
Damn, I'm out of whiskey. End of Rant. Gotta remember to FILL that
glass before posting!
