Will it fly?>>
Hi John,
Yes she will. Added another couple of hours and eight landings in the last
few days. The wind has been around 5/10knots and straight down the strip for
nearly a week. A record as the wind is at a right angle to the strip nearly
all year.
Not happy with the trim. Although with Mike Moulai and myself, both above
230/240 lbs in the cockpit the trim was back within three notches of the
top, on my own I have the trim right forward and she is stll nose light. A
bit of tweaking needed.
Cheers
Pat

Hi all,
I expect that I have got this wrong and sent the whole shebang
instead of the couple of pics which I intended to send. Nevertheless
in there somewhere are one or two pics of me and the new Xtra.
If the whole lot has been sent then there are pics of Wendy in Mick
Moulai`s machine as well..
I expect someone will tell me how do do it properly.
Cheers
Pat

I have a 2 blade Warp Drive prop hub for sale on ebay, and it looks like
it's not going to bring very much, currently less than $7, plus $12
shipping. So if any of you have a 3 blade Warp, and have thought of
experimenting with a 2 blade Warp Drive prop, here's your chance to do
it cheap.

Well, I solo's a Hughes TH-55 helicopter in September 1968. Was a
wonderful time indeed. By this time I had accepted the fact that I
would probably never get to go to flight school in the Army. However,
at the ripe old age of 29 and a senior Captain, I had made it.
My first fixed wing flight as Pilot In Command was my Ultrastar.
Built and flown July 1984. This was my first flight and also my solo
flight in a fixed wing aircraft. Don't recommend anyone else being
that stupid.
First GA type solo flight was a Cessna 152 in June 1990. Needed a
Private ticket to fly the mkIII that I was building. Never got more
than 20 or so hours in the Cessna's. Could not wait to get back in a
Kolb. I did get an hour in a 152 two years later because I could not
find a CFI that would give me a BFR in my mkIII.

First flight... 1974, Piper Cherokee (toy on a string, hooked it to a chair back,
then tugged... landed it on a paper runway)...
But it that does not count, fast forward to...
First Solo flight... 5/3/87, Wills Wing Raven 209 (Hang Glider) at Lookout Mountain
Flight Park, . The view from the launch pad was awesome, the view after
leaving the launch pad that first time... priceless!
First powered solo flight 12/7/87, Cessna 152 (ho hum...), Smyrna TN...
First Ultralight solo flight 1/3/88 Sorrell Hyperlight with a 277 (you might
already have guessed the next line), Eagleville TN...
First Ultralight dead stick landing 1/3/88 (yep, first flight was also first
engine out landing!), Eagleville TN...
First Kolb flight... hopefully later this summer!

How about a poll on this? What was YOUR first airplane, the one that you actually
flew?
Quicksilver Sprint or Sport...don't remember which.

Hi Gang
Just received my July 2006, EAA Sport Pilot magazine.On page 27, there
is a story about vortex generators, cuffs, fences and stall strips.
Since there has been numerous discussions on this subject I thought some
of you may be interested in the article.

I wasn't , then though, ah what the heck....
First flight...before I can remember accurately. My first big
impression was riding in the back of Pop's 170 somewhere
around '57 as he flew over to a towered/lighted airport to do
night landings and sim ILS approaches. I remember that one
because there was a grasshopper hanging on to the strut and I
was fascinated with his gripping power. Fell off after 20 min.
Soloed a J3 in '68. Soloed a Navion in '69. Got time in a
Citabria, PA-11, PA-18. I recall winning a dinky trophy for a fuel
consumption contest at a Navion fly-in...off by just .2 gal. Also
recall that there was a vent in the roof of the Navion that the
back seat pax could open and, if you're young and bored and
just riding along somewhere, one could sneak on a roll of toilet
paper, feed one end out the vent and let suction do the rest by
unwinding it out into the ether. Always wondered what folks on
the ground thought about that. "Look, Ma!"
Didn't do much of anything for quite awhile til getting a private
ticket in 2002. But I wasn't stuck on the ground, either. As an Air
Traffic type for Uncle, we could get familiarization flights if we
did something to wow the front office. Not that I was any great
shakes but always managed to latch on to some project that
gained some modicum of notoriety (to be fair, some of the rides
simply involved calling the Command Post and asking what was
going out and could I get a ride). Through this mechanism I got
rides in:
UH-1, T-28, U-8, U-21, OV-10, T-38, C-141, C-5, C-23, F-111,
F-4, KC-135, KC-10, KC-97, C-121, T-39, T37, C-130 (including
assault strip landings and takeoffs plus LAPES drops while
standing in the door), C-119, C-123, and a couple others I've
probably forgotten. I must say that the Aarvark was the most
impressive of the lot. Did a max climb to 45K then down over the
Wash (NW East Anglia, UK) and then up to Mach 1 toward
Skegness and then back to RAF Lakenheath. What impressed
me was tha lack of noise. That was one big electric
machine...just a hum and a whoosh. I also recall that they didn't
give me a correct pre-flight brief in the cockpit mock-up. After I
was in the airplane I'd hooked up the oxygen mask to the
console and flipped the selector in the direction and number of
clicks that I was told to (selector was a by-feel affair, to my left-
rear and behind my line of sight)....not the right result. There was
vastly reduced flow but marginally sufficient. The pilot asked
how I was doing and I asked is it normally like this, hard to
breath? He said "Oh crap!" and flipped the selector one more
notch....big old blast of oxy that literally forced the mask off my
face for a second then calmed down.
Built FS 2 in 1994. Soled a 152 and 172 in 2002. Bought a
Bellanca Viking (complex/high perf) in 2003 while having a
grand total of 120 hours. That's turning out to be a money pit.
The plane is basically OK but the systems are a bit long in the
tooth. The engine cranckcase cracked about 3/4 of the way
around #6 cylinder the Friday before Mother's Day. Got it on the
ground in Beckley, WV and have bought a Continental rebuilt
($27k) and R&R'ing various components, including the prop
which, I learned this morning, needs a new hub to the tune of
$3.2k. I keep telling folks this is like giving a diamond to a pig.
But a fast pig at that...just before the crack I was tooling along at
180kts.
The adventure contines....

Should have listed part of the referenced msg from Ray Anderson.
Ray said he soloed in 1936. That was three years prior to my birth
date.
Don't remember flying a stork, but flew an old ragged Ultrastar for a

John,
I actually soloed in 1935 and bought the mate to my solo airplane, Curtiss Jr.
in 1936. Got a lot of riding time with my instructor in his Cessna AW, the
first Cessna with a cantilever wing. Tube, fabric and wood construction. Pilot
up front in single seat, two passengers behind. Also in his 1932 Cabin Waco.
Can't remember the model. Every thing free and easy without much interference
from the Feds. John, you would have been in hog heaven back then.

Ray:
You got that right.
I never enjoyed flying so much until I built the Ultrastar. Pretty
much flew it and the Firestar when, where, and how I wanted to.
Figured if the Feds got on me I could always plead ignorance.
Funny how things, my attitude, changed once I got the mkIII with an N
number stuck on its tail. Felt better because I was finally legal,
but really toned down my flying.
Other morning I realized my Class III physical would expire the last
of this month, well..........tomorrow. Called Doc Foshee over in
Clanton. He is retired, but still gives flight physicals in his home
which in right next to the airport. Doc said come on over and get my
physical. Got to my airstrip and the cows had crapped all over the
north end and the little parking area in front of the hangers. I have
never seen so much cow crap in one area in my life. Didn't have time
to the one of the tractors to drag it, so that cut my 750 ft strip to
about 350 ft. Now sweat. Got out with no problem. Landed at Clanton
Airport, taxied overe to the NW corner of the field, up next to the
fence. Hopped the fence, walked about a block to Doc's house. Got my
physical and was back in the airplane in 20 minutes. Now my problem
was getting back into my strip without hitting cow crap. No wind to
help, but got her in and stopped before we got to the "mined" end of
the strip.
So...I am good to go for another two years. Got my BFR while on my
flight out West. Need to sign off my Annual Inspection, and I am good
to go.
Take care,
john h

PS: Nice living and flying in a small town atmosphere.

Drill the holes a generous size larger than the rivet. Use aluminum
rivets. The lexan will expand and contract differently than the
aluminum or steel framework, give it room to move. Make sure it is real
Lexan and not acrylic or plexiglas. Anything with superglue or mek or
lacquer thinner in it will make Lexan/Acrylic/Plexiglas go bad and crack.
