Toilet paper is designed to disintegrate immediately
on being flushed so it's pretty delicate. Not much
chance of it getting caught up somewhere like
writing paper would.
Some clubs do this as a competition to see how many
cuts get done before the plane reaches a predetermined
altitude, like a few hundred feet AGL. Whatever the
organizers think is safe. Pilot disqualified if he breaks
through that "floor".

Yep, though there was no formal introduction. (Kip, I was the guy with

guys-- don't cut the paper with your prop----you could get a chunk under
your cooling eyebrows and if caught it will start to smolder. We had it
happen on a Champ and it was not pretty.
Crepe paper from Wal Mart is a hoot to drop as well. Same procedure--
crumple up the first foot or so of it to act as a drag streamer, get real
slow, pivot the rudder out of the way and toss the roll over your
shoulder. We try to hit the crepe paper about 1/2 span as it's falling
over the wing and then if it doesn't break it will stay ON your wing as a
50 foot long two-tailed streamer. If you are really having a good day you
climb back up, toss out a second roll and put that over your other wing and
fly round town with two big old streamers hanging off your wings !!! Too
much fun.

Delicate it may be, but if a piece of it gets somewhere near an exhaust
pipe, it can make for some interesting aerobatics when you think the plane
is on fire and you try to get on the ground ASAP. :-)

Reminds me of a fun day with TP. I was dropping an cutting with the
wings one day. Suddenly the roll of TP was gone. I turned and couldn't
find the either section. I knew I had had a direct hit, right in the
middle. It was then I saw hundreds of TP squares all over the place.
Stretched out for 1/4 mile or so were fluttering squares of TP waifing
along in the sunlight. I wish I could repeat that one. I figure the
roll didn't break as the wing snagged it, and as it accelerated the
trailing edge of the TP had flutter induced failure and each square
broke off till it was all gone.
So cool...

Ole friend from high school Art Ritchie and I (now a United pilot) got a
chunk of toilet paper (we hit a bunched-up area) stuck in the Champ cowl
over the cylinder fins while doing a drop over the lake and boy was he
sorry he did that. Me too as he was giving me the 15 hours of dual I
needed on the Champ to get on the insurance since I was a novice
taildragger guy at the time. (still am, just older) We both about
crapped our pants as we smelled smoke. We pointed that thing towards
Norwalk Airport and in about 10 minutes we were on the ground. That
plane had toiled paper scraps hanging all over the place. The owner of
Norwalk came out to say hi to us and laughed at what he saw. We had
been found out. We popped the top cowl half off to remove the partially
burned/charred paper from the fins and baffle area. From then on we
always diced up the paper with the wings.

I don't remember where I heard it, but someone related that once they
hit it head on and the TP plugged up the carb air intake and severely
limited RPM causing another sooner-than-expected trip back to the
airport.

I guess I can't argue with actual experience, but I have never heard of it
happening or had it happen to me, and I've cut a few cases of paper over the
years. I'd still say cut it with the prop, because, as others have pointed
out, the wing usually does not cut it but drags the paper. Maybe you guys
had it at idle??
Anyway, another piece of advice is to cut it from the TOP. If you hit the
bottom, it bunches up. Hit it a few feet from the top each time and it will
stay streamed out. (I do this "ribbon cut" act most weekends at the Flying
Circus in Bealeton, VA)

Pieters, Thanks for the help with the magneto direction. I think I know
what I am doing now. The mags have a "L and "R" on a gear inside and that has
to be changed to match the arrow on the matching gear. I can't use impulses
on a dash 9 cont. so that isn't a problem. Thanks again Ken Conrad

I had a friend cutting t.p. with his EAA biplane and a large bunch stacked
up on the flying wires or n struts and blocked out the aleron and he doesn't
do it anymore. Just a comment. Ken Conrad

That was me, Steve. Good thing I remembered that the carb heat also
bypassed the air cleaner, giving free air to the engine. I had hit the TP
near the wingtip and it got caught in the wingtip vortex. When I came
around on the next pass, it made such a pretty spiral that I couldn't resist
putting the nose right through the center of the spiral. Bad move - it
packed TP into the cooling shrouds and the cleaner and made the flight a
whole lot more exciting than I wanted it to be. After that, I stuck to
dropping watermelons.

I don't remember where I heard it, but someone related that once they
hit it head on and the TP plugged up the carb air intake and severely
limited RPM causing another sooner-than-expected trip back to the
airport.

Ole friend from high school Art Ritchie and I (now a United pilot)
got a
chunk of toilet paper (we hit a bunched-up area) stuck in the Champ
cowl
over the cylinder fins while doing a drop over the lake and boy was he
sorry he did that. Me too as he was giving me the 15 hours of dual I
needed on the Champ to get on the insurance since I was a novice
taildragger guy at the time. (still am, just older) We both about
crapped our pants as we smelled smoke. We pointed that thing towards
Norwalk Airport and in about 10 minutes we were on the ground. That
plane had toiled paper scraps hanging all over the place. The owner of
Norwalk came out to say hi to us and laughed at what he saw. We had
been found out. We popped the top cowl half off to remove the
partially
burned/charred paper from the fins and baffle area. From then on we
always diced up the paper with the wings.
