Up til now I have never used flaps. Couldn't see a need.>>
Hi Robert,
like you I am a tyro on the Xtra but lowering the flaps will not only alter
the landing trajectory but it will lower the stalling, and therefore the
landing and takeoff speed. A few knots in hand has got to be worth while.
Don`t use full flap until you are used to the plane. She drops very steeply
indeed and unless you have some tall trees to get over on the approach that
last notch isn`t really needed..
Good luck
Pat

Travis thank you for all your support over the past 6 years you have
always Ben there for me and have gone the extra mile for the milows.
Travis has helped us even when there are not only so many aircraft that
TNK did not build or engineer but to keep up with changes and
improvements on the current aircraft. He has gone out of his way to get
parts that are no longer made at TNK. If you can give him an example he
can get her done. We love these little birds and it is refreshing when
someone goes beyond expectations of the employer and gives thankless
service!!!!!!!!!!!!! Again from Milow Tim and Uncle craig thanks Travis
and TNK

Hi,
I know that there was a thread recently about TNK not being helpful.
I also know that it was answered by quite a few people that their
experience had been a lot different. Even though the answer has been
given in the affirmative I wanted to relate what happened to me today.
I am buying some used parts from Terry Davis, legs and axles. The
deal was that I should give him half the new cost, which is a great deal
for me. The only way that I could find that information was to call TNK.
Now I have to say that it takes a lot of balls to call a company that
makes it living by selling us parts and planes and ask them to help you
save money. I put it off until I was feeling guilty about not getting
Terry any money. ( I had written him once hoping that he would just set
a price, he wouldn't) So I called Travis today at TNK, and I was honest
with him, told him what I was about, tried to apologize for being such a
jerk. He would have none of it and gave me the information that I
needed, and much more besides. He also lamented the rise in prices that
every thing from metal to nuts and bolts that they had to pass on to the
customer. I am not sure how any conversation with the guys at TNK could
be confused with not being helpful at all. I have dealt with both
companies, old and new, and I have to tell you that this one is one of
the easiest that I have ever found.
Count me as a fan!

In the wonderful world of product liability it's better to start from a
known point.>>
Hi Richard .
thankfully we are not at that stage yet. Just wait a bit. While the
courts and the lawmakers are all lawyers it is hardly surprising that
they create legislation that ensures that the legal business is kept
busy.
Very sad really. Because it only needs one judge to look at a case like
that and say `Don`t be ridiculous, get out of my court and you will be
liable for costs for wasting the courts time" and the whole nonsensical
edifice would come tumbling down.
Crazy isn`t it as we mainly fly with a Rotax with a sticker on it saying
`Not for use in aircraft`
Cheers
Pat

I agree with Larry and Uncle Craig, the entire crew up there at
TNK are a great bunch of people to do business with from the owner,
Mister Chestnut and all. I have always got super service from them and
consider the entire crew good friends.
And my special thanks to Travis for his service and help. Travis
and Donnie make a good team.

Two thumbs up from northern Indiana as well. Travis, Donnie, and Bruce from TNK
have done nothing but bend over backwards to help with any question I've had.
Brian and Helen from Custom Air have also been a tremendous help.
Almost everyone on this list has been helpful whether they know it or not.
Thank you one and all,
Scott Thompson

Ken has already added this info but i thought i would post it here as well.
The first time I left the ground was for 1 hour of aerobatic instruction in a T-6
Texan. The date was 8/18/1996. Attached is a pic of my final preflight briefing.

On the BR 8ES Spark plugs I buy, There is a picture of a plane
with a circle and slash symbol on it . That is the plug that Rotax says to use
in my 447. No one wants the liability.
