A simulate we can afford is really not much like flying. The simulators the airlines use are so real they will go from a type rating by simulator to a line check. The line check will be the first time in that type of plane. I know folks that use there desk top simulator to practice IFR and other

Hey Guys, I've mounted the spars, temporarily mounted templates to mark taper of spars and oh yea, had to remake 2 WAF's to get one of the back spars to drop down 1/2 inch. Boy is this some tedious work. There is a light at the end of the tunnel though. I think that I'm about to be where I can

Hi guys and girls; My whole point in bringing up the subject of tail wheel/rudder and wheel alignment was three fold. One was, was it just my lack of time and experience in the plane (probably so) or two, was there a way to make it easier to control, and three, to leave a more searchable title i

I believe part of the tow-in tow-out is preference. I found on my KR with a copy of Dans gear in aluminum 0 worked well with me. I have a 47 and 74 Bellanca downstairs and one of the first things I did was to align the wheels for 0. It made a big difference for me. For those thinking about tail

As always there are opinions to the contrary, as is mine. I had an EAA Biplane that was almost impossible to keep straight on hard surface. I asked an Aeronautical engineer about toe-in toe-out gear alignment. His response was parallel alignment, or slightly toe-out. With a toe-in gear, the weight

Thanks, Larry this will work for me. I was going to set mine at 3/16 toe in but will go with dead ahead. In the piper gear we try for 1/4 or better per wheel toe in but that's piper gear. Cessna's we try for a little less but still toe in. The 20 and 20/22 pipers are a little squirlie so we seem to
