    Some body got a deal

    It is an EAB. Anyone can work on it. An a&p can do the condition inspection. Probably have to fly off some more phase 1 hours after repair.

    Need LightSport advice

    You don't have to make it draggy enough - you just set the max continuous rpm such that you don't exceed the 120KIAS/sealevel restriction. Tim

    What to use instead of RunwayFinder

    Thank Heavens - I really missed it, see below: http://beta.navmonster.com/ Good news! You spoke (in volumes!) and we've listened. We got all the lawyers and programmers together from both sides, and after some good discussions, an agreement has been reached. No more patent infringement...

    The Worst Airplane You've Ever Flown

    I understand that - I was just pointing out that many aircraft have had to make the design compromise that is putting the fuel in the cockpit. I may be wrong, but I thought the Pitts and the Eagle had the _main_ tank above the front (if two) seaters knees. Sure you do. If you set it just...

    The Worst Airplane You've Ever Flown

    Is under your knees worse than over your knees for some reason? (If not, stay out of a Pitts) Are Shimano quality shifters worse than Ford quality window hand cranks? (if not, don't adjust trim on a Super Cub) Are exposed control mechanisms unacceptable? (watch the Citabria baggage...

    2010 6Y9 Lame Excuse Thread.

    I'm out. I had an "interesting" electrical failure last night on a shakedown cruise before the 6Y9'er weekend. I'll share the story another time. Wasn't fun. Tim

    68C (Iola, Wi) Lunch Friday, Aug 27th.

    Glad someone made it. I just got home from boating on the (St. Croix) river - and that was nutty enough. Called the local ASOS on the way home, and winds were 20G30 @ 200 - which is 70 off my home runway. There were some BIG rollers being blown upriver - and they would get magnified in the...

    May be Totaled

    Ick. Taxiing fast enough to go up and over an SUV sounds a little excessive. Tim

    Why was an SUV parked where a warrior was taxiing? Tim

    68C (Iola, Wi) Lunch Friday, Aug 27th.

    That's a thought. Winds are forecast to be 18 gusting 25 60degrees off my home runway this friday. That's outside of my comfort zone, but your idea sounds good. Tim

    Spencer Iowa (KSPW) Aerobatic Contest Aug 14/15

    Is the yellow modified pitts yours, or your brothers? I believe you (or your brother) followed us in to KOEO on the way back from KOSH this year, and were stuck b/c of the storms in the area. We gave one of you a ride to a hotel. If that IS you or your brother, what is the pad on the front...

    No more runups

    So how many do a run up after each trip around the pattern? How many do a run up during the roll on touch-n-goes? Why not? A mag could have failed on the last trip around the pattern - I might even argue that it is more likely to fail on that last trip around the pattern that it would if...

    No more runups

    Genuine question: Do your towpilots runup before every tow? What if they shut down for 5-10 minutes if the next glider isn't ready? Tim

    What was new at OSH 2010?

    Wouldn't that be a slip? Or is my brain acting up again? Tim

    Getting 100LL at Airventure Impossible. Literally

    Why dincha just taxi over to the fuel truck at 6pm after the airshow and fuel up? Taxi back, finish dinner, relax, have a nice evening and depart full of fuel in the morning. Tim
