    Log books... old school, electronic, or both?

    My point that everyone seemed to miss. Unless you like passing your tablet around to everyone, you can not hold the book and pictures in your hand. You loose that personal feeling. Maybe I am just old school and like holding a book and pictures and not some electronic device.

    Log books... old school, electronic, or both?

    N3 Pup daily driver?

    James331 I see no shock rings for the landing gear. I believe this to me an early model of the Pup. I believe later they installed shock rings. The one I had and one other we had here both had shock rings for the landing gear. Tony

    ROP vs. LOP

    On my carb driven engine, I lean aggressively on the ground when taxing. So aggressively that if the throttle is opened just a small amount the mixture must be richened in order for the throttle to come up.
