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. -------- Thom Riddle Buffalo, NY (9G0) Kolb Slingshot SS-021 Jabiru 2200A #1574 Tennessee Prop 64x32 Growth for the sake of growth is the ideology of the cancer cell. - Edward Abbey Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=297689#297689 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 04:18:54 AM PST US From: Subject: Re: Kolb-List: John Hauck Give John H my regards next time you see or correspond with him please . sad to see him hurting but happy to see he is still doing the things that give him pleasure .

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
