    Go here: http://rvbuildershotline.com/articles/2009/taxi_tests.html There's a short article on it and a link to a more recent Van's column on it that basically repeats the earlier one. -----Original Message----- From: owner-rv-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Linn Walters Sent: Monday, March 01, 2010 5:56 PM Subject: Re: RV-List: RE: Van's article on high speed taxi tests Anyway to scan that article for those of us that got here late???

    Subject: Re: RE: Van's article on high speed taxi tests
    Thank you. Because of the Pitts reputation for squirrely ground operations, I did do the 'higher than taxi' speed tests, and also picked the tail up. The problem the inexperienced pilot encountered was the application of large amounts of rudder to counteract small excursions toward the edge of the taxiway. The article brought back memories that I hadn't mused over in a long time. After an excursion off the taxiway and back on using the taxiway light as a slalom pole, I had the 'this is stupid' revelation. The next time it was a takeoff. Planned. I had witnessed a couple of disasters/minor incidents of other first flights that did the 'crow hop' routine that I knew that commitment to a full flight profile the first time the Pitts left the ground was mandatory. The first flight lasted a hour (scared of that first landing I suppose) and the landing was probably the best I ever made. The worst one was because I became complacent years later. One thing that stood out in the article ..... the accident with the "test pilot(hired by the builder for his experience in fast-glass airplanes)" ...... I flew the Pitts on it's first flight, and I'll probably do the same with the -10. But I will have some dual before I fly the -10. I didn't in the Pitts ..... and chalk up the success to the angels on my shoulders. Just thought I'd share.

    Subject: Photos Of CS Prop Bolt Safety Wiring...?
    Two at a time. Get a mechanic who makes a living safeting. I had two of them working about two hours to do mine. One said he'd have it done in fifteen minutes ... NOT. What a pain. It just takes time and a lot of patience. -----Original Message----- From: owner-rv-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Matt Dralle Sent: Sunday, February 28, 2010 12:09 PM Subject: RV-List: Photos Of CS Prop Bolt Safety Wiring...? Does anyone have any close-up photos of how they safety wired the prop bolts on a Hartzell CS prop? You have to run the safety wire though those roll-pins. What a pain. If you have to pull the torque up from the bottom, it seems impossible to actually set twist. Maybe if I twist both ends first... Hum... Anyway, some pics would be most appreciated!
