Jon, I seem to remember a thread on this from some years ago. It apparently has been done, although the conclusion was that it added a lot of weight and had no...
Hi Ron, Whose Subie are you using? I am very interested in engines designed in the latter part of last century, as opposed to the first quarter. Pictures and ...
Boy this tail is very labor intensive. Of course doing the rudder twice dosn't help. Can anyone help with where i should set up the stabilizer for the first ...
Garry, from the recent thread, I gather that the stabilizer incidence should be neutral to about 1/2 degree low in the front. I plan to fly mine with minimal...
William, Thanks Gary ... __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Protect your identity with Yahoo! Mail AddressGuard ...

Here's what they look like and man are they good. Stuffed with meat and cheese all around. It was 60 degrees and no wind today so we flew to BGD and took the...
Made a finger patch per plans but for it to fit right I would have to grind the existing welds, that it goes over, flush with tubing. Questionable practice?...
Say Bob, those didn't LOOK so good but I'll bet they were ! You gourmet types aren't helping my takeoff distance with all the talk of food. I can't take a...
Rick, it seems like it's been a while since we had an update on your project. Is it alright to begin to get a little excited to see it in the next few months?...
Jim, someone said that you had a new project in the making (?), with some new changes, is it true? Can you discuss them, or would you rather wait? Thank you,...
New project but pretty much the same as 6168X and 6168Y. 160 HP taildragger. Using 3/16" windshield instead of 1/8" is the biggest change. Jim C ... From:...
Rola: O-O is coming along somewhat slower than I'd hoped, but we ARE making progress. Recently purchased McCauley constant speed prop off a Mooney 231, fresh...
Jim, Give me some input on what you think about a 180 hp continental 6 cyl. power unit engine, someone has one on ebay. I know nothing about this engine, ...
Rick, I would trust such an experienced Tailwind pilot to take my W-10 out alone. Weaver flew it at Baraboo, said it's a dog. Maybe you could fly it and...
Brian: I know you've had enough advice to start your own Dear Abbey column. Keep at it, get the drag down and the RPMs up. Had I kept 3RC, I was going to fly...
Brian, sure sounds like too much prop. But I am not the expert. My prop, carved by Lou Owen, will allow the 0-200 to turn up to 2900. I like the engine...
Brian: You probably don't need more input, nor want to look at another prop. My somewhat draggy W-8 with 150 HP will just hit 2700 RPM with my Catto prop,...
Has anyone any experience with the Lowrance 500 Air Map? In product reviews, if they can be believed, this came out a "Best Buy" ahead of the Garmin 196,...

Jerry I don't know how much bigger the screen is on a 500. I have a airmap 100 and it works really great. The only problem is my nearly fifty year old eyes can...
Jerry, I have used the earlier version of the Lowrance GPS and they seem to work well. There is quite a bit of 'button pushing' to get a course set, but that...
Jerry: I have used the Airmap 300 for 2 years now. I think it works great. I have mine with a hardwired power plug and remote antenna fixed in the airplane....
