Malcom,
61.31 is outside Subpart J is the reason EVERY pilot DOES need the tailwheel endorsement
to fly a tailwheel aircraft if they are not grandfathered with logged
PIC time in a tailwheel aircraft before April 15, 1991.
Subpart J which deals with Sport Pilots says, as you stated, that a rec pilot or
higher with current medical does not need any endorsements required by THIS
SUBPART, i.e, SUBPART J. Since 61.31 (tailwheel endorsement requirement) is OUTSIDE
SUBPART J, it is a requirement for ALL PILOTS who wish to act as PIC in
a tailwheel aircraft, unless grandfathered.
I was quizzed on this by the DPE who did my CFI-SP check ride, and he explained
it the way I just explained it.

Pilots have a strange double standard; they might have little trouble fudging
on their income taxes or
sliding through a stop sign, but might hesitate to take the easy fix on the tailwheel
"endorsement"
-If you had a PPL before April 1991, find a blank space in your logbook, determine
a qualifying airplane,
preferably one that has been destroyed by now and stick in 15 minutes of PIC.
heh heh.

Are you coming to MV. If so we could make you the party organizer. Oops
sorry, that would go against the unorganized unplanned schedule we have
always had. Just come and enjoy. We have always had a good time
regardless of who has come.
It will be exactly the same,,,, only different.

| Subject: | Re: Prop clearance |
Greg, I have a Firestar 1 powered by a 447. It came with a 66" Culver wood prop.
My FS wouldn't achieve full power when I was climbing out. Only about 58-5900rpm.
So when I sent it to Culver to have it balanced and refinished, I had them
take 4 degrees of pitch out of it. It was 32, and they turned it down to 28
degrees. When I got it back I was really happy with the climb performance (6500rpm),
but wasn't expecting to give up so much cruise speed. (about 8 - 10 mph)
I called Gene to whine about it, and he sold me a used 30 degree prop that is
just about right. I figured I'd keep my "climb" prop for days when I was just
messing around the patch.
Thing is, now that I've got a couple hundred hours under my belt, most of my flying
nowadays is cross country (not John H XC, but going somwhere). I just don't
spend much time around the patch anymore, and I really miss that 32 degree
prop.
If you think it might suit you, I have a 28 degree 66" Culver prop with maybe 4
hrs on it since is was serviced by Valley Eng. that I'd like to swap out for
your 32 degree prop.

http://owyheeflyer.blogspot.com/
I took a flight today to check the Alvord water condition as some of the
guy's flying up here next week are going to be an a Bonanza, and nobody
wants to think of a bogged Bonanza. I flew over there this morning and
even though there is still some water on the Lake bed, it still has
plenty of room for landings. There is a link for the Spot Tracking of
the flight. I suggest the "Hybrid" setting on the map. It is mostly
pictures, and they speak for themselves.

| Subject: | Re: Stupid question |
For those who wish to teach themselves how to do a crosswind landing, I recommend
the portion of the King video series which shows in detail how to do it safely.
Even though it uses a Cherokee to demonstrate, it is exactly correct for
a taildragger as far as adverse yaw control is concerned. An airplane is an
airplane when it comes to 3 axis control. Poorly executed crosswind landings
in a Cherokee can get one off of the runway and even on their backs if taken to
extreme. In a taildragger, a ground loop can be expected or maybe just a wing
on the runway. Much of the technique is based on one's understand of the benefits
of adverse yaw. The more adverse yaw an airplane produces, the easier
a crosswind landing will be. Vic

If any of you want to talk to John, he is in Jackson Hosp. the number is
334 293 8000 room 638.
I talked to him earlier and the surgery went well. A plate and some
screws, no weight on it for two weeks. Nell is with him and he is in
good sprits, although disappointed that he will not be able to make the
trip to MV this year.

I just got off the phone with John H, his surgery went well and if I
understood correctly, he had a plate put in his knee yesterday, and will
stay in the hospital till Sunday, then stay at a rehab center for a week
then home.
His spirits were good and he was feeling much better. Says he will miss
MV. Ask everyone to take lots of pictures. Says he now understands how
everyone feels when they have to rely on pictures to make the trip.

Bob Kravis/all,
I've been flying my Kolb for 15 years, and every year I painted the exhaust
system. I tried just about every kind of hi-temp paint in a spray can
that I could find locally, including Bar-B-Q flat black. It would barely
last through the season. Finally I just couldn't take it any more. Spent
$150, including shipping and tax, to have it finished by Jet-Hot. Best thing
I did. It's been two years now and it still looks like new.

I was planning to fly to MV this year - since I missed it last year. (We we
re a week ahead of time on our flight home from Sun n Fun, and our sweeties
said "Come on home and don't linger!)
Anyway, my husband's latest surgery went well, but he still needs help in d
oing some stuff, so I'm going to have to wait another year to join all of y
ou at MV. In my stead, I'm sending two good friends from NW Oregon: Dave Bo
nkowski in a Thundergull and Bob Combs in a Titan. I told them both you'd m
ake them welcome even though they're not Kolbers.
Like Hauck, I'll be waiting for your pictures.
