Hmmm. Well, consider that most ultralight insurance claims are
probably for accidents during ground operations, and it's not illegal
to _taxi_ an overweight ultralight, only to _fly_ it...

One thing about long cross flights is we don't always get to fly when we want
to. Today has turned out to be one of those days.
I did make a .25 hour flight, but came back to Neosho to wait out better conditions.
Wind is honking and there was not enough ceiling to try and climb out of
the turbulence. Reckon I'll be here until we get calmer conditions or it clears
up a bit. Weather guessers are not much help. May be here a couple days,
but this is a good place to stay. Could be much worse.

John, Looking at the winds aloft maps on Weather Underground shows 20 to 40
knot west to southwest winds throughout the region from 2500 through 10000
ft msl that is going to persist for at least the next three days.

Good thing you got through here yesterday, cause there's no way you'd have come
through AR today. Hopefully we'll catch on the way back. Stay safe.

| Subject: | First flight for Ken Holles Mk IIIX |
After months of work I took Ken's IIIX around the pattern three times this
evening. Very nose heavy on the first flight so I adjusted the horizontal
stab down one hole for the second two. Still nose heavy so I will take them
down to the bottom hole if I fly it again tonight. Didn't try the flaps or
do anything but take it off, around the pattern and full stop landings.
So now I've flown a IIIX. Pretty Cool!

I don't think that argument would convince my insurance company to overturn a claim
denial.

Rick=2C
Congrads on the flight. Do you recall exactly where the weight and balan
ce came
in at?
I'll be calculating my W&B very=2C very soon. I was just wondering if
a more
rearward balance point would have helped with the heavy nose on Ken's plane
.

The CG is at 22.63" (min 16.50, max 23.10) or 34.28%. I adjusted the
horizontal stabilizer to the lowest position and it had no more effect than
the middle hole, which was an improvement from having it in the top hole.
I'm going to adjust the flaps and ailerons up a turn at a time and see how
far I have to go to trim it. When I made the last flight I used half flaps
for landing and it didn't make any difference, or at most very little, so I
think I'll be on the right track with the flaps and ailerons.

Do not let yourself be forced into doing anything before you are ready.

You've got to expect things are going to go wrong. And we always need to prepare
ourselves for handling the unexpected.
