| Subject: | Re: Short Short field take off and Landing |
While in Fairbanks a few years ago, I went on a river .trip The captain
stopped in midstream and called up on a loud hailer a guy sitting next to a
Supercub in his riverside back lot. This guy had taken down the fence
between his property and his neighbours to make a usable strip.
The SuperCub was run up, the pilot opened the throttle and stood the plane
on the mains only. He released the brakes, leapt into the air and did the
tightest circuit imaginable and landed again. I timed it and as far as I
remember the time was about 90 seconds between releasing the brakes and
landing again. Incredible
Merry Christmas everyone
Pat

- Rick- The discussion of putting metal on the leading edge was about two
years ago.- I had asked about it, because my Firestar came with two sets
of wings.- One had the first 15" or so with a flashing thickness of alum
inum under the Stits.- There is no gain to it, and it only adds weight an
d additional labor.- John's advice is solid- they work best as Homer desi
gned them.- Save yourself the time, weight, money, and labor, and just go
stock.
- You might find the comments in the archives under "Firestar rebuild".

Amazing!!! this is one of the things I have been thinking about, my latest
iteration of it is the have fiberglass cloth stretched over it, seems prett
y simple and easy, wet it first have it spread between two 1x1 planks of wo
od and stretch it over the leading edges and secure the planks with bungi c
ords till it cures. Should have a perfect fit. However I do remember a thre
ad from a few years ago when that was discussed and the consensus was to no
t do it as it would contribute nothing!!! So I don't know which way to go o
n this topic.

Total waste of time and money. If it only adds 2 pounds, it's still a waste of
time and money. As far as bonding area for the cloth - you will get all the bonding
area you need when you wrap the cloth around the leading edge.

Yup, and not only that , but even the slightest little bump and you have
a permanent unsightly ding.

| Subject: | Rotax 447 fan holding tool |
I need to adjust the fan belt on my 447 and need a $20 plus S&H fan
holding tool to loosen the bolt. I also must wait for delivery and may
miss the few remaining flying days before the deep freeze and snow
drifts bring it to an end. Has anyone devised a homemade tool to hold
the fan? If so I'd sure appreciate knowing how you did it.
Thanks,
