Gary,
When I was writing articles for EAA's Sport Pilot magazine, now defunct, Mary Jones
was in charge of reviewing article ideas and editing. I was paid for every
article that was published, not a lot but enough to feel appreciated. She is
no longer in charge of that and when Sport Pilot magazine bit the dust I lost
interest.
I am still a member of EAA but may let it lapse this year. Never been to Oshkosh;
one reason is I'm not fond of huge crowds.... and I don't need any steak knives
:-).

Using a 2 blade 68" Ivo. Very satisfied. OTOH, if you plan to have foreign objects
passing through the prop arc from time to time, then you might prefer a Warp.

am ready to push that stick forward >>
I was waiting in a clubhouse in for a flight one day and listening to a
group of old guys talking flying.
One guy was discussing a flight which he had with another pilot whom they
all knew.
He said " I was sitting behind the pilot talking to somebody when we came
over the hedge with the stall alarm going.. I leaned over the pilots
shoulder and pushed the stick forward.
He was mad as hell. There was a pause and then the storyteller added "He
sure as hell was a sloppy pilot"
Guess you had to be there.

I've flown a Mk IIIX with a 582 and 2.62 gears and a Mk IIIC with a 582 and
4.00 gears. Ran the same 3 blade Warp drive on both, just had to change the
pitch a bit. The real difference is in the size of rudder trim tab and the
amount of deflection. With the 4.00 gears the trim tab is 6 inches long and
the deflection is about 5 degrees. Takes a little left leg on take off and
a little right leg in cruise. With the 2.62 gears the trim tab is 18 inches
long and deflected about 35 degrees. Still takes a fair amount of left leg
on take off but it cruises straight. Incidentally, this is pretty much the
factory recommended trim tab.
The factory recommended prop is a 66 inch. That way you can get the thrust
line as low as possible and still get adequate clearance between the prop
tips and the boom.
One other incidental, with the 4.00 gears my neighbors tell me they cannot
hear the plane on downwind. With the 2.62 gears they could hear me even
though I was out of sight.
Wheel land it regardless of gear box ratio.

............ But you also need training to understand that wind gusts,
crosswinds, and turbulence that other popular production singles can handle
are beyond the limits of an airplane with a very lightly loaded wing.

Dennis,
This is true of the original FireFly with the 15 inch chord ailerons. It
was a bear to try to fly in the middle of the day. I changed to nine inch
chord ailerons and modified the push rod Tee bar hole spacing. This greatly
reduced control stick roll pressure and made the FireFly a joy to fly. It was
very easy to fly in the middle of the day. One must accept that the first
and last 1,000 feet agl are going to be rough.
I have flown sailplanes/gliders with wing loading less than the FireFly. A
sailplane on the tow or looking for thermals can be quite smooth and at
other times so rough as to be frightening. The thing one learns is to keep
your seat belt and shoulder straps tight so that you do not move relative to
the plane and to keep flying the plane.
The difference between a sailplane, which has a wing loading less than a
FireFly, is the empty weight. The sailplane is much heavier. As result,
the low mass FireFly is will react much quicker to atmospheric disturbances
than the sailplane. In both cases it is not the plane that is limited, but
it is the skill of the pilot.

Jack,
Thanks, that's some good input about the Firefly. I've used this highly modified
yet light weight child's car with it's built in side support to solve the slip
sliding around in rough air turbulence.
Nothing fancy but works well !
