We had an interesting- discussion on linkedin this-weekend.-All about
-flight =0Ainstruction and the idea of turning an experimental into a clu
b plane so an =0Ainstructor could legally-use it to-teach-the owners
- to fly.-- This theory is =0Aviable and there is-FAA approval to d
o this.- =0A=0AWhat-I think would really jump start the process is a pr
e-developed general =0Aformat.--One that would be easy for-people to
follow- in developing their =0Aown-club and fractional ownership;--
not much different than the downloads a =0Aperson can buy to write their ow
n will or start a non profit 401c3 corporation. =0AThese always contain sev
eral disclaimers and liability waivers just like the =0Aones we used in the
old days to teach ultralight flying.- =0A=0AThis would help the ultralig
ht pilot and sport pilot want-to-be, as well as the =0Ainstructor. =0A=0ATh
e idea of teaching someone to fly in a $14,000 plane with a 582 is not that
=0Afar fetched. We all know people that-have.- It seemes like a better
option than =0Athe $60,000 to $100,000 planes everyone thinks they current
ly need .-When =0Aa-student-becomes a licensed pilot-they can trans
ition up.- =0A=0AWhat this sport needs now is for people to stop focusing
on the problem and =0Adevelope a solution.- The ultralight trainer was s

No problem, the original post was shorter than I recalled, originally posted
by Leonard Perry on this list. It was in a discussion about duct tape.
Here is the posted story...
yep... he had gone fishing and did not wash the plane out real good....
Quick story..
A buddy had a cabin out on Silver Salmon creek. He flew his cub out for the
summer to commercial fish there. He was having trouble with bears loving on
his plane and bending them up a bit so he called fish and game to come out.
He told them the next time he sees the bear he is going to shoot it. Fish
and game frown on this and give him a case of Roman Candles and told him to
shoot the bear with the roman candle and he wont have any more bear
problems. If you don't know what a roman candle is, it is a firework that
shoots out flaming colored balls about 60' or so.. if you do know what a
roman candle is, then you know that the fuse is on the opposite end of what
you would expect... At any rate, my buddy get awoken about 4:00 in the
morning to the sound of a bear outside huffing around. he jumps out of bed
in his underwear and grabs a roman candle, eases open the cabin door, takes
careful aim and lights the fuse and waits... it takes a few seconds for this
to start going off so he is "tracking" the bear. The first shot goes off and
realises that it is shooting flaming balls out the wrong end and he just
launched on insdide the cabin.. in his haste to trun it around he proceeds
to launch 2 more into the cabin before it gets pointed out the door.. now he
is not so carefully aiming at the bear and fires a round into his ceconite
and dope covered supercub... to his horror, the plane goes poof and is now a
raging inferno. He freaks out and start running out to the plane to see if
he can put the fire out.. no dice.. it is just burning too hot at this
point. About this time, he remembers that he had fired off a few rounds
inside his log cabin... yepp, he truns around in about pisses himself when
he realizes his cabin and his plane are now fully engulfed. So by now, it is
close to 4:30 AM, he has nothing but his underwear on and he gets to take a
1 mile walk of shame down to the next cabin to get help... Needless to say,
once he was fully clothed, he borrowed the neighbors cub, loaded up the
remaining case of roman candles and flew straight the fish and game
headquarters where he just darn near inserted the proper end in the now very
scared biologists butt and lit the fuse inside the building...
They no longer hand out roman candles as bear deterrent's, and Kenny went on
a one man crusade to rid the world of bears lol.... to have him tell the
story over a few beers is about the funniest thing I have ever heard, and I
can, in no way do justice to the way it should be told..

Correct me if I am wrong but I believe the position of the mains is about 2.25"
aft of the fwd spar leading edge. This would make the arm a positive and the
first calc would be correct. The error only seems to be the (-tare) shown in the
item block.
