Cotter pin for me too.
Take Care,
John Cooley
There is a tiny hole that I'm suppose to use to connect my throttle stick to
the cable. I guess I'm suppose to use a safty wire or a cotter pin. What
have you guys done here?
Thanks,
Almost Done David

Pat,
When I bought insurance for my Titan Tornado I only wanted (could
afford) liability plus "not in flight" hull coverage. I asked for a
definition of when "not in flight" began and ended. He said once you
start the take-off roll, you are "in-flight" and remain so until you
land and are "off the runway". All other types of ground handling,
whether with engine running or not, are considered "not in flight".
There was another distinction or sub-category within the "not in
flight" area. "In motion" and "not in motion". One part of my total
premium was for liability, one part for not-in-motion (hangar falls on
your airplane, or someone else runs into it while still) and another
small extra for the "in motion but not in flight" risks.

That don't look like a good idea Your throttle cable is going to fail sooner
or later because of where it is bending in the pic
Dont ask me how I know this
I replaced the throttle with a Quadrant from CPS California Power Systems I
did a little mod to it but it is much better and less wear on the cable
heres a pic of it

A cotter pin comes with the kit for that purpose, However I would recommend
that you use a piece of piano (steel) wire bent over on both sides. The
reason being, If that LITTLE cotter pin breaks or wears out your throttle
goes closed.
Just my thoughts.

OK, Here is the skinny on my wing fold.
'Every time I unfolded and set-up my Firestar and entered into the enclosed cabin,
there was this terrible smell. I couldn't figure it out. Others noticed it
even when I would come back to the hanger and re-fold the wings. We checked everywhere
in the Firestar a man could look. Did something die in the tube, was
constantly in the back of my mind.
Then I finally discovered the terrible smell. ME! B.O. Old people sweat putting
that thing together and taking it apart. Lets see: $50.00 per month wings folded,
$ 100.00 per month wings and plane ready to go. I now opted for the mature
thing; pay $100.00 for hanger space and save a great deal of embarrassment around
others and myself and a lot of money off quality deodorant. Why, heck! Dollar
Store has JoJimBob deodorant for a buck a tube. At that price I have already
saved $ 50.00 a month!
Now when Winter comes, that may be a different story.
In all seriousness. It is a task for me, with bad legs, short leg (or long leg,
depending on which angle you look), bad back, High Blood Pressure, High Cholesterol,
bad disposition, poor outlook on life, and elderly! I believe if I had
to pay $ 150.00 per month for the luxury, I would rather than fold, un-fold every
time I wanted to fly. I really appreciate a man that could go and trailer
his plane to a field, unload it, unfold it, check it out, park the car and trailer
and then, with the energy left, go fly. Then repeat the process to take
it back home. Some of you men are still pretty young. Enjoy all that you can now.

Richard,
Could you send some pics of your ceiling racks? I built some this weekend out
of pulleys and 2x4's... it sort of works but it requires 2 peeps to oporate....
Thanks,
Mike
Nothing special, right now it just supports a bunch of RC planes. But since you
asked... Each wing lays on two lengths of PVC pipe, on at the root, one close
to the tip. For the one close to the tip, one end is tied to a hook in the ceiling,
the other end is stuck through a loop of rope. Lift the loop to the side,
and let the PVC hang straight down. The wife and I carry the wing into the
garage, raise the wing up high, and I lift the root end up over and lay it on
one piece of PVC.
Then I go to her end and raise/swing the PVC up, raising the wing out of her hands,
and slip the loop of rope over the end of the PVC. Caution: don't slide the
PVC along the wing, it will heat from friction and scuff the Stits.
Disregard the aluminum tubes and model airplanes in the attachment, all we care
about is the white PVC pipe & rope. See? Nothing special.

A couple of guys asked for pictures of my "T" stand. All it is is a
stand with felt on top. It telescopes up and down with holes drilled
into the stem and locked by a pin (or bolt or ???). As it stands, it is
51" high, which is just right for my wing. When rigging my MKIII, I
position the stand a bit inboard of where the outboard tip of the wing
will be. Then I swing the wing out and rotate it into "flying" position
and work the inboard edge into the lip of the fuselage. When it pops
in, I hold the wing with one hand and finish positioning the stand with
the other. Then I rest the wing on the stand and hurry over to the
fuselage end and put in the pin. After that I lift the wing a bit with
my shoulder and hook up the strut. Then when the aileron and flap
pushrods are hooked up it's a done deal. Piece of cake.
I don't plan on doing much flying for the next week or so because we're
getting rain - Arizona's "monsoon" (Ha!) season. But if anyone wants
more pics of something, let me know and I'll take them next time I fly.

Thanks for the picture... it speaks a thousand words, and although
you may think it too simple to warrant a posting of the image, I
hadn't thought it would look like that, so, I'm really glad you did!
Again, thanks!
