No, Chuck, you hold back to retain control on roll out. The ground loop
starts when you let that skid up off the ground!

Thanks for the info
I e-mailed them and will get a price from them I am sure it will be less

Thanks again

I've been happy with my Tennesee Prop. www.tn-prop.com One of the few
wood prop makers that use 1/16" laminations. Makes for a very strong
and stiff prop. Good price too... about $550 They will make any
diameter or pitch combo you want.

Norman,
I might suggest you try Hagy props, Jim Corder grandson of original Hagy, who
has maintained his quality of production at 432 729 4249 in Marfa, Tx but I
understand is to move to Colorado. Can't blame him for that. Has anyone ever
been to Marfa?

Ran fine on the ground, and holding the tail up in the air,
but on short final if I pull power to idle, the engine would quit. That
happened 3 times. Changing the mag did not help. I got to where I would
leave in
just a tiny bit of power to land, then pull power to idle just at the end of
the
flair. It never quit when I did that. I had that carb apart quite a few
times, comparing jet size, adjust float setting, inspecting, and so fourth,
but I
never did get all those gremlins out of that Model B carb. I have the jet
sizes stored on my computer, if anyone is interested.
Chuck, Thanks for the 'heads up'. I have thought about carrying power
through to the flair on the first flight..now I KNOW I will !!
I also had my 'B' carb apart several times, finally built a test stand and
re-sized those Chinese after-market jets that I had acquired in a re-build kit
from Snyder's Antique Auto and that, along with another tweaking of the timing
helped it smooth out. I am using an Eisenmann mag and am pleased with it. The
Model A carb book ( I forget the author's name) warns about problems with
those jets. Don

Yes, I understand that. I now have a tail wheel back there, and it made
my roll outs quite a bit longer. On the turf, with the skid, when I pulled
back on the stick all the way on roll out, it actually felt like applying light
brake pressure, and really slowed 'er down. For take off with the skid,
when turning around at the end of the runway, I would hold forward stick all
the way, to keep the tail light, and I would hold full rudder with just enough
power to lift the tail slightly up off the ground, and sit out there and do
doughnuts for about 3 or 4 tightening revolutions, and then kick it straight for
take off!! Way cool !! It actually shortened up my take off roll a little
bit, because the tail skid didn't offer any drag, because it was already up off
the ground. I can't do that with the tailwheel. Can't get the doughnuts as
tight and small, and it's hard on the tailwheel. That's just some of the
distinct handling characteristics between the tailskid and tailwheel. I like the
tailskid much better for turf oporations, but it just didn't work on the HARD
surface...ESPECIALLY on landing roll out, even with full aft stick. With no
prop wash and ground speed less than 20 mph, the rudder wasn't nearly as
effective, and the skid offered NO directional control. A cross wind would have
it's way with 'er.
