      not having flown since october when i landed the other day i did a 360
      around a runway light
      that's a little unnerving so i disabled the tail wheel release, that
      makes parking hard so i made up a u shaped wedge that releases the tail
      wheel and stays in place till removed, works good with a little
      inconvenience in parking
      
      Have a good day - Charlie

      Charlie, that raises a question I have asked myself ... and now, I ask the 
      list:
      
      If a ground loop is started, is it better to let the tailwheel free-castoring 
      or not? Somehow I feel that if it is too late to avoid it, it might be as well
      
      that the tail offers no resitance on the ground and let the inertia die away 
      by itself (even if it makes you feel dizzy in your head :-). Because if the 
      plane meets sideway drag on both main and tail wheels, won't that force the 
      plane to tilt until the outside wing touches the ground? And if that ground is
      
      uneven, I think it will stop the spin and pull the plane on its nose.
      I have now idea, I am just asking.
      
      Cheers,
      Michel

      In Salinas we have two of the worlds best acro pilots. Wayne Handley holds
      the worlds record for most inverted flat spins. While doing some spin
      testing for an Agricultural Aircraft company he found that although the
      plane was difficult to get into a spin, it would not recover from one spin
      mode without a spin chute deployment. Yes the plane had a long wing and was
      short coupled.
      
      Sean D Tucker stepped out of a Pitts he was practicing in when it would not
      recover. Of course it recovered and flew away after he was gone.
      
      So even certified, spin resistant and profesional pilot does not guaranty
      spin recovery. Perhaps this is the reason spins are no longer required by
      the FAA for licensing.

      Not in particular defense of Sean D. Tucker ( great great pilot, my hero) but the
      cg would in most aerobatic airplanes move forward after the pilot bails out
      and also the rotatiing inertia would be less so it could contribute as to why
      so many airplanes recover after the pilot departs. But then I'm sure sometimes
      it is us ham handed pilots screwing up the recovery too. To be on topic - the
      kitfox raps up real tight in spins - in my opinion.

      No one likes to admit to having a gound loop and I am no exception. Unfortunetly
      it happened to me.
      I had installed some new tires on the Fox and took it out for a taxi test. It was
      really hard to handle and wanted to go every where but staight. Run it down
      the stripe and when I pulled back on the throttle to slow the tail started to
      drop and she darted off to the right and came up on the left wing, I slammed
      down on the left rudder and recovered but not before the left wing was on the
      gound and I was off the paved strip (30' wide). The Fox came back up on the mains
      and I turned around and headed back to the hanger with one scuffed drooped
      tip. I have never fixed it but have a small piece of duct tape on it to remind
      me. That was the day I learned about over inflated tires. I had 22 lbs in each
      tire. Now I get a little red faced every time I'm asked about the duct tape
      but it reminds me to not get cocky.

        Charlie, that raises a question I have asked myself ... and now, I ask the
        list:
      
        If a ground loop is started, is it better to let the tailwheel free-castoring
        or not? Somehow I feel that if it is too late to avoid it, it might be as well
        that the tail offers no resitance on the ground and let the inertia die away

      Just a few comments on slipping:
      
      
      >>>>>>>>>>>>>> my problem with slipping is the 
      speed at flare. it too hot to touch down.
      
      <<<<<<<<<<<<<<
      
      If you are slipping at about 1.3 stall then when you kick rudder to
      straighten up there should be no speed gain and no problem in landing within
      normal parameters.
      
      >>>>>>>>>>>>> IF you have to slip to get into the field, should you really 
      be going in there?
      <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< 
      When you are landing in  bush locations ie lakes and field etc with
      inhospitable approaches a slip is probably the safest way to land as it
      allows you to maintain a high approach for safety and a guarantee that you
      will make the landing site should the engine fail. Once you have verified
      that you will make the site a slip lowers you to the tree line without any
      forward build up of speed.
      
      It is generally practiced by most Bush pilots in N.Canada.

      I believe Art Schol (Im sure I spelt it wrong) was also killed in a spin, and 
      he was world class .... in a Pitts .... hmmm
      
      I have had some acro training in a Pitts, spins included.  The world really 
      really is a blur !
      
      But, a KF, or any plane?  Unless it has been proven and properly documented 
      ....  I aint gona do it!
      
      Right tool for the right job..... 
      
      and I love flying my KF  like a Cub ....

      - "Hi, I am Dee and I am a ground-looper!"
      - (everybody) "Hi Dee!"
      
      :-)
      
      Thanks for sharing, Dee. I have only 70 hours in my Kitfox and haven't ground 
      looped yet ... it is only a matter of time. I remember last year, when I was 
      doing my high-speed taxi training, I considered fixing some kind of 
      metal/small wheels at the tip of my drooped wings. I had just seen the video 
      of a Kitfox builder who, on his first flight, shaved half of his wing tip much
      
      like you did. As long as there is no structural damage to the wing/plane, it's
      
      only our pride that suffers. I am glad I have you, guys, to share this with, 
      and learn more about our plane we enjoy so much.
      
      Cheers,
      Michel

      I was always taught that the castering tailwheel was essential to keeping a
      looping plane from rolling over when the tail swings outside the mains.
      Having been in a minor loop (thank God the grass was wet and the mains slid
      a little - we stayed upright and the plane never even tipped) I can attest
      to the fact that the wheel worked.  Dave

      Does anyone have an annual inspection checklist.  An IO 240 specific list would
      be most helpful but any would be welcomed.  I am starting with the Skystar supplied
      "final inspection checklist"
      
      Thanks in advance.

      There is one at http://www.sportflight.com/kfb/. Just scroll down the page
      and click on Annual Inspection Form. It is pretty complete and was
      contributed by Don Lorentzen. It is in HTML, but you can import it into Word
      or other word processor for modification.

      In fact, I was very lucky and tip didn't touch....
      
      At about 50 hours ..I learned a LOT from that....  
      
      There was a good crosswind, paved runway and I had a 10,000 hour, mostly 
      taildragger pilot on board giving him a ride.... now that was embarrassing!  But
      
      he expliained what I had done wrong, best mistake I ever made.
      
      Essentially, the tail was not planted and at low speeds, the fin is blanketed 
      from fuse when it is low, the plane now has a mind of its own....   trick is 
      to get the tail wheel on ground to simple have traction...
      
      Keep that transtition to a minimium
      
      Now have about 250 hours and been fine..:-)
      
      Practice does help!!

      Get a copy of the IO-240B maintenance manual from TCM. It specifies
      what to check.

      The closest I've been to a ground loop was when I landed on tarmac with a
      flat tyre.
      
      I was able to keep it straight (well on the runway) until we'd almost
      stopped but at about 5mph the tail wheel free castored and the plane looped
      completely and ended up facing the wrong way up the middle of the active.
      Nice thing was the wing never really dipped and my passenger and I were able
      to hold the wheel up and push CIGVW back to the taxi way

      >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
      I was always taught that the castering tailwheel was essential to keeping a
      looping plane from rolling over when the tail swings outside the mains.
      Having been in a minor loop (thank God the grass was wet and the mains slid
      a little - we stayed upright and the plane never even tipped) I can attest
      to the fact that the wheel worked.  Dave

      Luck helps!
      I have been very very lucky.  Once I should have gone around in a Twin Beech 
      in '71, but someone upstairs grabbed the airplane and kept it going in the 
      correct direction, full load of VIP's tires squealing, smoke flying from them 
      then suddenly went straight, I sure had help from somewhere!  I had already 
      yelled at the passengers to hang on we were going around~a whirlwind had caught
      us 
      just as the tail was starting down at LasVegas McCarran Field.  Those who have
      
      flown the fantastic D-18 know what it is like!  Several other times I was 
      just plain lucky in various aircraft including a Pitts S-1 and my old Funk when
      I 
      was rigging it and left tail wheel unhooked.
      I remember this every time I fly a taildragger, 
      "Those who have and Those are going to"  
      I've been flying them a long time, hopefully I might make it a career without 
      groundlooping, but sure keeps one thinking and reminds one to never let their 
      guard down~and I don't wear shoes with stiff soles when flying taildraggers, 
      I don't care what type !! Currently flying a PA-18, instructing owner in it.

      What a great story .....
      
      I agree  letting your guard down could not have been said better. Been there
      
      BTW, I love the challenge of a TG.  To be honest, slipping and landing my 
      little KF in a crosswind in my short strip gives me a lot of satisfaction.  
      
      We are so fortunate,

      Randy, It must be just your system. I have not gotten any attachments via
      the list, and in fact, the Matronics mailing system strips all attachments.
      It just sends out text with very little formatting.
      
      I bet it has something to do with your mail client settings and conversion
      from the straight text of the list mail to HTML. Something must have
      happened to the settings today. Check them and let us know if you still get
      the attachments.
