    Don't think you would have a problem but your welcome to try mine on for size. It's at the Branson West airport. You should definitely get some tail dragger time before flying. I would also strongly suggest some time in a MX3. Rex Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=431570#431570

    Actually, it is a slip/skid indicator. I have a Winter Slip/Skid Indicator in my MKIII. Been there for 22 years and 3,300+ hours. Don't need a yaw string, except to check that the slip/skid indicator is adjusted correctly. john h mkIII Titus, Alabama > Stuart - nice looking airplane! > About that skid ball ... if it were me, I'd leave it out.
