Regarding Chuck's comment about a lower deck angle (with higher tail
wheel) making full stall landings difficult...Has anyone raised the main
gear to help with the problem?
Jack Textor
Here is another shot. After looking at the picture I realize I see
Frank Pavliga's Piet in the background. He has the original tailskid.
Those tail skid guys are a special breed! About 23 years and who knows
how many hours on that thing!

I bought the Dan Price dual ignition head and it is presently in the
hands of Ken Perkins for machining of a little relief over the pistons.
I'm ready to get sparkplugs for it, but which ones? This head uses 14mm
plugs. I'd very much like to hear from others with this head to
determine which plugs they're using. I'm especially curious about
"reach" and "heat range". Comments anyone?...Thanks....Carl Vought

My deck angle is already a little high, I think around 15 or 16 degrees, but not
sure I'd have to measure again. The plans split axle gear is taller than the
wood straight axle gear. The wood gear usually is used with the spoke wheels.
I decided to used the spoke wheels on the split axle gear. So... this makes
it kinda tall. I've seen Piets go from one extreme to the other in the deck
angle. I seem to get close to full stall 3-points. Just another area where
little changes lead to unique airplanes!

That's just what Don E., and others, did with the wire wheels. I have the
8.00 - 6 tires, making it a lower deck angle of about 11 degrees. I don't
really see it as a problem, just more of a challenge to get a full stall landing
-
and on the plus side, I can step right in, without damaging the family
jewels...

I envy you there Chuck! It is a long step into the cockpit. Interesting what
you said about the difference between grass and pavement. I haven't landed on
pavement yet, but am thinking about it soon. There is a strip not too far away
that has both. I thought about landing on the grass and taking off on the
pavement to start with. Curious how those high pressure spoke wheels will do.
Mike, Walt, Jack or anyone else running them have much to say about the difference
between grass and pavement?

Hi Guys...
I figured out something really cool the other morning while flying. Others I'm
sure have figured this out too. I don't have any kind of pitch trim. I have
a nose tank that holds about 14.5 gallons. While somewhere around 8 gallons
it is pretty much in trim in pitch with my weight. If I let go of the stick and
leaned back it slowly pitches up. If I leaned forward it slowly pitches down.
I know it only makes sense but I don't think I've ever flown anything that
is so easily affected by weight movement!

Hi Guys
Saw this tab on a Minimax site. Looks like it is pretty small and thin.
Food for thought.
Best regards

Pavement gets interesting. Not too bad, but it accentuates any errors.
Grass is much more forgiving. I try to land mine on pavement every now
and then just to uncover any bad habits I might have picked up landing
on grass.

So what if you made a really narrow tab running the entire
width of the elevator with hinges and horn mounted unobtrusively
underneath. Thus eliminating that "afterthought" look.
Or make the same thing out of wood as a part of the trailing edge
during the construction of the elevator.

I've been told you can do the same sticking your
arms out. :-)
And a question. A pilot takes off from airport A.
As the flight progresses, the pilot finds himself
needing to pee. By the time he reaches his
destination, airport B, his bladder is full.
How does this accumulation of fluid affect W+B ?
