You want friendly and close to St. Paul. 21D = http://www.valtersaviation.com/airport.htm Lake Elmo is just on the East side of St. Paul, has a very friendly FBO, maintenance on site, etc. FBO = http://www.valtersaviation.com/ That's where I would go. Tim

Somehow I missed both of you. I was there in my Sonex, but spent most of the time watching the boat races. Nice day to fly - enjoyed it. I'll probably be back to this one, that was a very nice grass strip. I have never seen a jet parked at a grass strip before. Tim

Sounds fun. I'll try to make it Sat AM. Tim

I operate my taildragger Sonex off of a grass strip with the stock 11-400 x 5 tires. With wheelpants. Smaller even than the 5x5's on an RV. 6.00x6 is small? Tim

You know, even if GFAII was just a re-do of GFA1, I'd sure enjoy it. I had fun with the first one, and I would participate just as much with the second. Tim

...and the week prior, a Rotax912 and all the instruments (along with tools) were stolen off of a Kolbra at Forest Lake, MN. This was in a well secured private hangar in the middle of the night. 25D. Tim

Lance, they are nice to you because they have twin envy. :wink2: Tim

I've had a lot of fun doing basic aerobatics in a 115hp Citabria. What I learned from Kent's post is not that you can't have fun in one, but just don't go fly in an Extra so you are continually comparing the two. :wink2: A lot of confidence develops when you are taught to manage the available...

Ted - I'm no expert, but I've had good luck making sure the connections are absolutely clean to start with (quick swipe with sandpaper). The other thing I do is use MAPP gas rather than propane. I believe it is a hotter flame, helpful if you are trying to solder into a larger fitting. Clean...

I have a pair of RayBan aviators that I wear because the ear pieces are so thin that it doesn't impact the NR of the headsets. I also have a pair of Maui Jim's that I just love the quality of the lenses, but the ear pieces are just a bit too thick and allow noise in the headset. Then there...

Geez, Ted, tell us _what_ airplane!

Sorry for digging up an old post. Because we started up towing at our local club again last weekend, and because I like to find accurate information when I search old threads for helpful info, I wanted to bring this particular thread back up. The link below can be found in another thread on...

If you are interested in the RV-12 or Zodiac, attend a Sonex Builders workshop. It's relatively inexpensive, and you learn a lot that would be transferable to other AL/pulled rivet models. http://www.sonexaircraft.com/support/workshops.html You get hands on time, so you can get a feel for...

I think those are guys, not men. Tim

I can never tell if he is serious, or is intentionally just stirring the pot. However, he does in a roundabout way bring a thought to my head. There seems to be a very risk-averse attitude on this (and other) forums - often harshly questioning the choices one might make. I'm thinking right...

The website you reference lists it as _threatened_, not endangered. Tim

No longer endangered. - On June 28, 2007 the Interior Department took the American bald eagle off the Federal List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants. http://www.baldeagleinfo.com/

The trophy is coming home!:goofy:

I saw Leah's photo in _Soaring_ today - congrats on the house and on the magazine mention! Tim

On to the Superbowl!
