Luc: Here is a pic that helps show what I described. The frontal shot makes
the windshield look much more steeply raked than the profile shot.

Hi Robert! That flooring material sounds like good stuff! Do you know how much
it will cost for the 4x8 sheet? Thanks, Dick Brown

The lightest material I have found for floors is the material that is used
for floor panels in airliners. It is a honeycomb material with fiberglass face
sheets and runs about 3/8" thick. It is extreemly rigid, probably as strong
as plywood, and is very light. It comes in 4'x8" sheets and can be worked
with ordinary wood cutting blades. I don't known of any source details, but I
could look into it if there was enough interest. I can purchase it by the sheet
through my employer if enough people wanted it to make it worth while to buy
a whole sheet.

We have finished tacking the fuse. I like working with wood much better!
Skip has really become proficient with the TIG welder. We started on the tail
feathers today. Hope to have them done next week.
We have been thinking about the control stick. Does anyone have thoughts
on using a single center stick, with dual throttles on the L/R? We plan on using
a CS prop. Looks like a Whirlwind 151 composite. 28lbs! Wow that's light. We
love the Whirlwind prop Skip has on his Pitts. Whirlwind is one of our sponsors,
and we get questions, and remarks about the prop at every airshow. I cant
say enough about the quality, and a 3 blade white Whirlwind will look great with
the design of our TW.
Also, has anyone flown the TW with one or more of the doors removed? (At
low speeds of course). I ask because we will be using it as a photo ship, and
hope to remove the right door for the photographers to get air to air photos of
Skip performing aerobatics. I guess we will find out if it works in a few months.
Does anyone have a heated Piper style bladed pitot tube laying around for
sale?
What is the best/lightest/strongest material to use for flooring in the cabin,
and baggage compartment? Has any one used a dual toe brake set-up, and are
there any concerns?
Thanks for reading and replying to this long email. I waited until the weekend
so I could get some of you guys out of some HoneyDos.

Dennis,
Sorry that I didn't have fuel enough to stay in the local area for a while
rather than head out on course, but glad we finally got together in the air with
these two "sister ships". Enjoyed our discussion about the history of our
birds and their differences, and it was good to put a face to the guy who was so
helpful to me with pictures and data many years ago when I started on my
project. The fly-in at Lovelace International was the way all fly-ins should be.
Hope to see even more of this next year.
Jim

Bruce,
We followed Jim on his way back to Va., had to ask Jim to throttle back to
catch him in the climb and then we went full throttle side by side and Jim's
is faster by quite a bit.
Neither of us had wheel covers and we flew along with him about 15 miles
before we turned back.
Counting rides and fly-bys and 225nm Chicago to Malcolm's i figure about
500nm today and gassed up with 30.3 gals.
1:15 to Malcolms and 1:30 return.
The most fly-bys in recent memory, good job Malcolm!!
PS; i have your tape measure and will mail it back to you Mon.
Thanks again,
Dennis Flamini N564DF race #53 Chicago

Are the wings on McCulleys aircraft, the old W-8 flat bottom ones of 19'4"
like the ones on my W-8. I looked at the N# and it is the first 4 on my
army #, it jumped right out at me. JohnD Don't Archive
