The daring young man is still there but he has given up the trapese for a flying machine called business in California, Chotia said. When I got ready to put the plane in production, we moved here to Utah. Utah is a great place to run a business. Rent is low and it is a good area for flying these kind of ultralight aircraft. states he has JOHN CHOTIA a local resident, flies the Weedhopper" one of the 23 airplanes it near flies and his in the Ogden factory airplane designed. Chotia designed and built The Weedhopper has a wingspan of only 28 feet and weighs 160 pounds. Cruising speed is 30 mph according to Chotia. All airplane designs are a balance of choices, if certain features are wanted others must be sacrificed. The goal of the Weedhopper is a low cost, easy to build and easy to fly machine, Chotia said. To achieve this end we cannot have tremendous or range. The speed weedhopper is intended for pure fun flying and most pilots find the slow, highly manuverable and open cockost pit type of plane th planes and the revolutionary Chotia 460 engine, that is used to power the Weedhopper.

You must expect to wast about 6 square feet per single roll on odd shaped areas, on points where the wall ends before your pattern does and in trimming excess paper from the top and bottom of a strip. Therefore, divide your total wall or ceiling area by 30 square feet to find the number of single-rol- l units you will need. You should request that your paper be delivered in two, three, or four roll bolts cut in continuous, long strips. Working from a bolt of this length, you can cut as many as g five or six strips with ease and minimal waste. However, unless the actual number of rolls you need turns out to be an exact multiple of two or three, try to avoid paper that is sold only in bolts. If you should need to cover a small area calling for just one extra roll and you have only multiple-rol- l bolts, you could wind up wasting from one to three full rolls. But don't underbuy if you have no choice; it might be difficult or impossible to match your paper later. If you are hanging on bare or painted walls in good condition, allow a full day to size and paper a 12 by 15 foot room. If the walls need substantial repairs, or if you must remove an exsisting coat of paper, double that estimate, especially if you are papering for the first time.

Reed Searle, director of the Utah Energy Office, said, The Iranian oil curtailment has reduced the flow of oil to American refineries by about 4.5 per cent but increased imports from Saudi Arabia and other OPEC nations have made the net reduction only about per cent. Even that 2.5 reduction could have very serious consequences. But if all Utahns who do not now drive 55 mph would drive the speed limit on our hihways, we could see a 3.4 per cent reduction in the gasoline consumed in the state. That - translates directly into a reduction in demand for crude oil. Last year approximately 856 million gallons of motor fuel were burned on Utahs highways. Of that, 29 million gallons could have been saved if all Utahns had complied with the speed limit. Plans and procedures for mandatory oil allocation are ready for implementation and can be put into effect by order of the U.S. Secretary of Energy. d learns the tough, urban rules in a hurry when he takes on a smooth, city rival, will open in Roy on March 14 at the Roy theatre. With a screenplay by Kieth Merrill, Rivals was directed and produced by Lyman Dayton and stars Stewart Peterson, known for his roles in Seven Alone, Against a Crooked Sky, and Pony Express Rider. d This adventure film combines excitement and a fresh approach to a love interest in an unusually fast-pace- substantial tale for the genre. In the harsh city environment, the hero finds a new slant on the three Rs; racing, romance and rivals. The films action comes to a head with a race at Suicide Beach that results in a near-tragi- c accident. The resourcefulness of the hero brings about a surprising denouement that will satisfy viewers of all ages.

The cases represent Utahns ex- periencing problems with virtually every major and many minor federal agencies and departments. In 90 per cent of the cases the Senator provided services of significant help the constituent. The figures were included in a (siiif analysis of how to expand and improve constituent service by the Senator and his staff.

Last year, for example, Rick Salazar of Vernal was stranded in Mexico after completing his church mission due to visa problem at the State Department. I was able to cut through the red tape and obtain the visa to get Rick back home, the Senator continued. Another example from last year was that of William Strunk at Hill Air Force Base, who was transferred to Holland.

But one the other hand we have so much technology to draw from, we dont have to make the mistakes that some of them made in the beginning. With this pioneer spirit Chotia hopes to bring back e fun that he feels the is missing in much of todays more sophisticated aircraft and flying experience. Chotia Forum Two weeks ago we taught you how to buy lumber to build your new house, last week we taught you how to buy paint to paint your bedrooms and hallways. This week we are going to completejdie assignment and teach you everything you ever wanted to know about wallpapering and were afraid to ask, well almost everything. Wallpaper is a marvelous thing and is manufactured in a marvelous way. Thousands of little men take strips of special wallpaper and print it with special dye. Several strips are printed from a single dye batch. When the dye is used up naturally it is replaced and another strip perhaps 3 or 4 thousand feet long is printed. Sometimes this method results in color variations and because of these color variations, it is best not to hazard a guess at the amount of paper you will need. Rather than run short in the middle of a project. Buy all the paper you will need at one time. So how much paper will you need? and how much time will it take to do the job? Its easy to figure it out. To calculate the amount of paper necessary to cover your room, find the room perimeter as you did when you were painting (see last weeks column). Multiply that figure by room height measured from the baseboard to the ceiling-o- r to a cornice, if you do not mean to paper above it - then subtract the exact area of doors, windows and other places you will not paper. The final figure will be close estimate of the wall area of the room. Wall coverings are measured in units called single rolls. Though the width of papers may range from 15 to 54 inches, a single roll contains approximately 36 square feet of covering. Despite this standard unit of measurement, most papers are as it was done by airplane Temple officials said that groups of people came in brochure, bus-loaWeedhopper from Ogden, Salt Imagine yourself floating Lake City and Provo, as well through the early morning as from other areas of the mists, climbing out over the state during the open-houstrees.

However fishermen should be aware of the new regulation allowing only artificial flies to be used between March 1, and April 30. The Weber river from Wanship Dam down stream in Summit and Morgan counties will be open to angling along with the Logan river below Temple Fork, and the Blacksmith Fork river down strea, from Rock Creek. The daily bag and possession limits on the three streams is 20 whitefish. Anglers are also reminded to have their 1979 fishing licenses in their possession while fishing. Fishing pressure has been generally light on all three rivers with success varying with the angler skill. the In Ogden Weedhopper. the daring young man is 32 year old, aircraft designer and engineer John Chotia. For the last 12 years Chotia has been working to come up with an airplance that is fun to fly and economical enought that virtually anyone can own and operate one. With a total cost of $2,195 for the kit that the owner assembles himself and no pilots license required to fly the plane, the weedhopper has achieved the goals that designer worked for, according o Chotia. I like flying slow, said Chotia. It just so happens that the airplane that I have built is cheap.
