I was not in the market for a new tailwheel, just thinking about picking up
a used Matco that is available. It would be the older design.
Hans, as far as SWRFI in Hondo, I believe the word is that EAA headquarters
has ruled that the regional fly-ins can't use "EAA" in the name and can't
use the headquarters insurance blanket, so it would be prohibitively expens
ive for each regional fly-in to insure and operate independently. While th
ere is something to be said for the big regional fly-ins, Pietenpolers seem
to gravitate more toward the down-home, grass field, family events anyway.
I was a little gun-shy about flying into Hondo NORDO anyway, what with al
l the fast guys zooming all over the place. We'll see if the other regiona
l fly-ins fall by the wayside as well. Probably not Sun 'n' Fun, but some
of the others.
So here's the story of Santa and the FAA checkride:
===
Santa Claus, like all pilots, gets regular visits from the Federal Aviation
Administration, and it was shortly before Christmas when the FAA examiner
arrived.
In preparation, Santa had the elves wash the sled and bathe all the reindee
r. Santa got his logbook out and made sure all his paperwork was in order.
The examiner walked slowly around the sled. He checked the reindeer harness
es, the landing gear, and Rudolf's nose. He painstakingly reviewed Santa's
weight and balance calculations for the sled's enormous payload.
Finally, they were ready for the checkride. Santa got in, fastened his seat
belt and shoulder harness, and checked the compass. Then the examiner hoppe
d in carrying, to Santa's surprise, a shotgun.
"What's that for?" asked Santa incredulously.
The examiner winked and said, "I'm not supposed to tell you this, but you'r
e gonna lose an engine on takeoff."

I am about ready to do the final stretch on the horizontal stab fabric and then
rib stitch. I have never used the self sticking tape before.do I need to stick
it on and stitch first or brush on the first coat of poly brush and then stick
it on? always just had plain tape before.Thanks.Raymond

If you follow the sequence in the Poly-Fiber Manual you seal the fabric with poly-brush
prior to applying the re-inforcing tape. After you apply the reinforcing
tapes and rib stitch, this tape will get a coat of poly-brush applied prior
to the application of the pinked finishing tapes. ( Hint ) use a straight
edge and a number 2 pencil to draw two parallel lines 1 inch from the center
on both sides of each rib. Apply the bed of poly-brush between the lines. Cut
your tapes with a razor blade by holding the blade perpindicular to the fabric
and pulling the tape against the blade. This is how the Pro's from Poly Fiber
do it.

Thanks-that is what I read and have done in the past.however the self sticking
tapes are new to me and I didn't know if they were out when the manual was written.the
only guy I have asked that has used the stick on tapes says he installs
it before coating the polybrush and it worked for him.but like you I read the
manual to say the brush coat first.Raymond
