I checked all the links and I couldn't find a short runway. If you have
no breaks and you are landing downwind with 15 knot tail winds the
concrete one could get short. Assuming you are taking off into the wind
and landing into the wind you have tons of runway. If you put the thing
on full power you'll be off the runway before you get 1/3 of the
distance of the concrete strip. Your landing will be a little bit
longer. One side has a grass extension and a road! That means that if
you go long toward the grass extension that the grass will give you
plenty of extra stopping room. If you are going the other way come in a
safe distance from the tree tops and after you make the trees slow it
down and point at the grass. When you get to 10 feet chop the power and
roll out my friend you wont make it a third of the way down that runway.
I am assuming that the transition to the grass portion doesn't have a
huge lip or curb.

Thanks guys for all the input on the WS. I looked at Big Lar's gull wing doors
and am seriously considering going that route. Appears that it would be lots
of work but would make ingress and egress much easier plus eliminate the post
to look through. Even with the gull wings I will be able to incorporate many
of the suggestions that were made.
Really appreciate the flow of information on the list. Thanks again. Dick Neitzel

You mentioned something about not liking heel brakes. This is the system on
my Firestar and I love it. Motorcycle components.

I have a question on rudder pedal travel. I may need to redo the cables from
the pedals to the bellcrank, depending on the answers I get. One pedal
bottoms out befor the other, which is the nature of the rigging. However how
much travel does the bellcrank moves in relation to rudder movement?
Before I use more cable and nicopresses I figure to waite for answers.
I feel like if there is a way to get it wrong I will certainly discover it.

James,
A picture is worth a thousand words. After seeing the aerial photo of
your runway, I take back what I said about it sounding marginal. Just
fly the Firestar from grass first, and when you are comfortable with it,
that 35 ft wide runway will be no problem.

Your runway does sound marginal, at best, for any plane.

Greetings
I was reviewing the comments on fogging and someone mentioned that the fogging
mixture has enough fire power to cause an engine to start. As a safety precaution
the plug caps should be pulled. Good advice unless your ignition system
is of the newer variety (electronic CDI) the plug caps must be attached to a grounding
stud so that the spark is fed directly to ground. If this is not done
serious damage will done to the electronic control module. Like someone else
has said so many times, ask me how I know this!
Appreciate all the comments on fogging. Always learning something!

Hi Folks,
I'm fixing to make the hub for the Tenn.. prop and are wondering? The hole in the
center of the prop is 1" and the shaft that I am using is 1". Should I let
the shaft extend thru the face of the hub into the prop or stop it at the face
of the hub? Or does it matter at all?
Thanks

Paul/Gang:
That 1" hole is a centering hole. Could not think
of a better way to center things up than with the
1" shaft inserted into it.
Just though of something. You will probably need
a crush plate to put on that wood prop. They come
with Rotax redrives.

With the kind of wallop the HD can produce having the shaft extent into
the prop as a prop pilot seems like a good idea to me. This is an
experiment only, right? Secure the beast to a cement truck before you go
full throttle.

> Ron,
By bell cranks, I am assuming you refer to the rudder horns?
Starting with the rudder centered, each of my horns move forward 1.25
inches when the corresponding rudder pedal is pushed to full deflection in
each direction. The rudder trailing edge deflects about a foot in each
direction, at which point it contacts the elevators. So the answer is the
rudder horns move 1.25" at the cable bolt hole, to each foot of rudder
deflection.
I hope this is what you were looking for. Also, my pedals deflect the same
amount.

Thanks Guy's
I guess that I need to have a inner drive hub with the shaft extending through
the prop with an outer hub sandwiching the prop in between. du?

Paul/Gang:
How about this?
Prop hub is attached to the prop shaft. The end
of the prop shaft is also the centering boss which
fits into the center bore of the prop. The prop
is attached to prop hub with bolts, first through
a crush plate, then the prop, and finally into the
prop hub. If you really want to do it up right
you can also make drive lugs on the prop hub.
