      Hi to all, I took and passed the sport pilot written test today. Now the
      chicken or the egg question. Do I N-number the F.S.II and then take the
      practical? Or do I take the practical then N-number the aircraft? If I
      understand things correctly, I must take the practical test in an
      N-numbered aircraft of the same type I am going to fly. However, I may not
      fly an N-Numbered aircraft until I have a sport pilot endorsement. Any
      insight on this would be a great help. Thanks in advance to anyone that
      responds to this
      question.

      Re aching backs. Just changed the wheel on the Challenger on my own.
      Lifting at the tip is no problem but lifting close enough to the root to be 
      able to kick a block under the u/c leg is a different matter.

      I have said this before, but you guys might want to take a hard look at my
      exhaust system for the 912.  I repaired the Titan system three times, then
      gave up and went to this one. Not even a hint of wear on it.  Looks cool as
      well - nice and compact instead of a tangle of pipe.

      Hi Erich/Gang:
      
      Cheaper price also.
      
      I put about 900 hours on the first set of Titan 912ULS exhaust with 
      excellent results.  Got a new set for the 2004 Alaska flight, which 
      had a failed tube last May with about 150 hours on it.
      
      Your system seems to eliminate the stress that will be applied to the 
      Titan system should it not line up correctly.  Slip fits of your 
      system should last much longer than the long, clamped exhaust tubes on 
      the Titan system.
      
      I do like the exhaust note of the Titan over the system you are flying 
      with.  Wonder if they could do something about it?  ;-)  Like 
      comparing a T-28 to an AT-6 exhaust note.
      
      Take care,
      
      john h
      MKIII/912ULS

      Next time you're near a Bonanza, go to the front and sight down the 
      centerline of the a/c. You'll see that the centerline of the engine is 
      offset a few degrees -- to counteract the "P-factor" caused by the 
      rotating propwash hitting the tail. They knew what they were doing, and 
      made a simple fix, without the drag of trimtabs.

        This discussion is so much fun I wanted to add in my extra cents on the
      thread.  With my MkII I've also noticed a left banking tendency when flown
      solo from the left seat..  It is less pronounced when flying solo from the
      right seat, but noticeable.  For me, the conclusion was that my weight
      shifting was controlling the plane.  It is noticeably different if I lean
      over the centerline of the plane and push with my hand on the other seat.
      If myself and the passenger both lean forward, the plane wants to dive a
      bit.  If we both lean to one side to see something interesting, the plane
      understands and turns in that direction unless I compensate with the
      controls.
      
        When flying solo now I use a bungee on the control stick that pulls it to
      the cage of the frame and takes the pressure off my arm.  I got the idea off
      this list and it works great.  I just remove the bungee when flying double.
      
        An adjustable tab would have been my second attempt at a correction,
      adjustable because it needs to compensate only when I am solo.

      Hi,
      I have just ordered a book about flying from Amazon.  You probably know that they
      also recommend books  on similar topics when you do that.
      
      What did they offer?
      
      ``The Killing Zone. Why pilots Die``
      
      Do they know something we dont. very nasty. Quite put me off my tea and crumpets

      I want to thank everyone for all of the great advice (and commentary) as a 
      result of all this great information I have been able to correct the banking 
      problem on my Firestar II by bending the cage slightly, adding a trim tab 
      and .....  I currently fly from a seat attached to the right gear leg. Flies 
      great but I am suspicious that the relocation of the seat may add quite a 
      bit of drag ... but what the hey, it works.
      
      Thanks again

      ,,<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
       If you really want to get rid of the trim problem with the ailerons ,
      just make new fittings for the wing attach where the wing folds and offset 
      the
      holes so you can change the angle of attack of each wing....heavy wing 
      leading
      edge needs to go up.....My ultrastar had a heavy wing but by modifying the 
      square
      tube that attaches to the cage at the wing spar it can be achieved and still
      fold the wing as long as you only move the hole a little on each side....one
      up ...one down...>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
      
      
      been there and done that and this is my thoughts upon the matter..... when I 
      first flew my mkIII it wanted to roll to the right..... but when it was in 
      straight and level flight the trailing edges of the flaps and ailerons all 
      lined up..... first I tried to adjust some of the roll out by adjusting the 
      flaps... it helped but did not make enough difference.... then I took the 
      wing fold fittings and had the side of the half inch hole welded in a bit 
      and used a file  on the other side of the hole to round it back out to 
      fit.... I had to do it on both sides, one up and the other down to change 
      the incidence in the wings.... it then flew hands off,,,,,, BUT not the 
      trailing edges of the flaps and ailerons were no longer lined up...... I 
      ended up with new wing fold fittings and reinstalled the wings and had the 
      same results as I did the first time.... I then installed a trim tab and the 
      results were hands off flying with the trailing edges lined up....... at 
      least for me this was a better fix than adjusting the wing fold 
      fittings..... your milage may vary

      Anyone flying a plane without personally performing a correct weight an
      balance should stop flying immediately and drink beer until they are smart
      enough to do a weight and balance.
      
      It is ridiculous to not do this. You take three weights, and do some very
      simple math that includes only multiplication, addition and division.  There
      is no excuse to not do a proper weight and balance, using accurate scales.
      
      It is only your life you are risking... so no big loss I guess!

      I need a 40" long piece of 6" aluminum tube for a home project. It can have holes
      in it, but it has to be round. I don't care if it is painted or dirty. If any
      of you have an old piece of 6" tailboom or spar that you would like to part
      with, please contact me off the list.
      
      Thanks.

      Check with Will Tatham, he has a Mk-3 with a 2200.
      His address is wmtatham@mapllc.com
      Also, Luray Weacter has a "Bad to the bone" Slingshot with a 2200 on it, I 
      think he is turning a 64 inch Tennesee prop with tapered tips and epoxy

      What size, make and model battery should I get for my recently purchased  TNK starter?
      I've used motorcycle batteries in the past (in motorcycles) and they
      only seemed to last a year.  They were lead acid and I assume that I will need
      a sealed battery.  The thought of being bathed in battery acid isn't appealing
      to me at all if it should spill.
      I would think a gel-cell or one of the newer type batteries would be better but
      which one?  Suggestions?
      
      Thanks in advance!

      Mike you may have to start at av-info.faa.gov I downloaded the test about 
      two months ago, so I`m not sure where I went first when I found it. The URL

      John, I have a 503 with an Air drive starter ( no longer made). I use a 17 
      amp gel cell that I bought at a local battery store. I paid about half what 
      the aircraft supply people charge. This is year four for this battery, 
      always turns the engine over real good. I always hook up a solar charger to 
      it when it`s sitting in the hanger. I put the solar panel in the hanger 
      window, I had to lengthen the wires to reach, but it seems to work. I think 
      the battery is made by powersonic but I would have to check to be sure. 
      Only drawback is, it is very heavy, however the FSII still is the fastest
