Albert,
Great pics.
Seeing the C-47/DC3 made me think. Few years back a DC3 pilot told me an
interesting fact. A DC3 can only be wheel landed.
Three point/stall landings,,,not allowed. Anyone can confirm this?

YEEEEEE HAAAAAA!
She flys again!!!, The engine is running great.( Knock on wood) We got the
new engine assembled last weekend and ran it monday. Runs great, 2 blades and
RRRRRRRRRRRR. We put 1965 cylders, pistons, and heads on the ole jalopy and
think we got her all figured out. I flew it for 20 min Friday night, Dad 20
min (1st time since he flew it as a glider), and 2-3 hrs today (Sat), it is running
GREAT! My good buddy "Chewy", let us borrow a Snap-On timing light/ tach,
and we found our tachometer is WAY THE F____ Off. At max power we indicate
3300rpm, actual is 2750rpm. I did 10 touch and goes tonight at sunset with not
even a hic'up. Oil is still indicating a little high on the temp, but much
better than 2 months ago. I flew over to Wyncoop airport with another good friend,
who is a trans atlantic boeing US Air Capt, who was flying his son's J-3,
and the old Corvair powered Piet BLEW THE DOOR OFF THE A-65 CUB! It out climbed,
out cruised the Cub. Capt.Dan said I was at
least 10mph faster than the Cub! Not too bad for a couple ole country boys who
won't give up on the old Chevy. I have some good vidieo of the close formation
flying, but it would take me 5 weeks to upload with my dial up. Next question:
is anyone going to MERFI? I am. Me and "The Other Shad, (Capt. Dan's
son with the Cub), are planning on going up. Mike Cuy?, Frank Pavilga? Skipp
Gadd? Don Emch?. I am going to have a cook out (burgers, brats, home grown sweet
corn) at my hanger at Chapman Memorial Airport(private and your invited)
on the Saturday of the fly in mid afternoon.2-3 pm or so. Skipp, this is on your
way home, you can fly home with a full belly, for free, and still make it
home before dark. Anyone interested let me know. Skip, If you want to go let
me know, you can fly up to my house and we can fly up as a flight of 3 on sat
morning (you, me, and a J-3). Sorry this post is so long but I am still Excited
(and a little bit drunk from the celibratory
beers), But today, shooting wheel landing touch and goes while the sun set and
not eating soy beans, or corn stalks was the flying Hi Light of my summer!
Shad
Let me know if anyone is going to MERFI!!!! Dont let the control tower scare
you, all I have is a Sporty's handheld, GET 'ER' DONE!
Shad
