Assembled again,ready for inspection. It is in my sons shop for inspection
then we will move it to the airport. It is on the heavy side at 805 pounds
and weight and ballance is within range. It has a continental 0-200 so 100
hp should handle it good.We are pleased with it. Life is good. Bob

Pieters,
In order to obtain a tailwheel endorsement, do you have to log some minimum number
of hours in a taildragger or do you just need to be able to demonstrate capability
to an examiner before he signs you off?
Thanks,

| Subject: | First flight with new Cloudcars Prop |
Wow. I took N7035N for my first flight of the year with my new Cloudcars prop last
night. Simply incredible. I didn't have a passenger for weight nor a stop
watch so I don't have any specs, but it definitely climbs like a homesick angel.
But the beautiful surprises were smoothness and cruise speed. I've picked up
at least 5 mph (from 65 to 70 mph) on cruise with a bit lower power setting
(about 2050 yo 2100 rpm). And I didn't even realize my Sensenich prop was out
of balance until I felt the smooth power with the new prop.
To say I am elated is beyond understatement. BTW, I had a hard time finding Cloudcars
(thanks Jack for sending me the address last fall). So if anybody wants
to contact them, their email adress is: "Jay & Carmen"
See mu big grin: ;o)

Ha! I liked your first answer better. I do Tailwheel conversions here in the
republic of Canada. It isn't a rating here... Just a proficiency check and usually
only for insurance purposes. I'm sure other folks on the list from the
US can answer your question.

Good deal, Dale. Glad you're enjoying it. I've been very satisfied with mine.
Performance is comparable to the warp drive but it's a million times prettier.
If I get the airplane put back together in time I'll be flying through Comanche
this weekend where Jay & Carmen live. Haven't met them in person but it'd
be neat to get a picture with them.
For the trip to Brodhead this year I'll put the warp drive on so I can fly through
rain and then put the cloudcar on for the event.

I could use some helpful hints on cutting control cables and being able
to insert them into splicing sleeves. I checked my blood twice getting
one done today. There has got to be a better way.

I tried a variety of approaches that led to dismal results. One day I
was in one of our local bicycle shops. I found there a very nice
cable cutting set of pliers that make beautiful cuts easily and
quickly. They were also cheap -- because airplane was nowhere in
their name.

Jim's method would work -- and might even be combined with vacuum
bagging. Or the cable cutters sold at bicycle stores everywhere will
snip right through the cable. No prep work required, just a perfectly
squared-off end with no little wires to draw blood from your finger
tips.

What worked best for me was to sharpen a chisel on my grinding wheel. I then placed
the cable of a piece of flat steel and sheared it with the chisel and a
hammer. Nice clean cut but you will have to sharpen the chisel after about
two cuts. I believe this was in the the Tony Bingeles books.

I just wrapped the area of the cut with masking tape then cut it with a cold
chisel, a hammer and an anvil. I used a cheap harbor freight anvil because
the chisel will cut into the anvil and ruin a proper anvil, so I bought a
small one that is used for nothing but cutting cable.
