NetHeads,
I took Wednesday afternoon off to fly to my father's farm for a visit.
After takeoff I noticed my GPS was still flashing a big question mark rather
than my plane's location, but I figured I knew the way and forged on south.
I played around with it for a few minutes to see if I could c

It's 7/25, just like M38. The trees are on the east end, and it's uphill
towards the trees, so I always land approaching from where that picture is
taken
Hi Mark,
Does your grass runway run about 13/31? Do you takeoff over the water to the
north or usually southward over the trees?
The strip looks great, the area looks great as well, ever do any fishing while
there?
Thanks for the photos and report.

NetHeads,
I got about six hours in this weekend, flying around the patch Friday
afternoon, visiting my father in LA (Lower Alabama) on Saturday, and then
another round of local fun late today. The overall average for the LA trip was
about 40 mpg, but I was getting 49 mpg on the way down with

got a pair of rockets up the tailpipe for their trouble. Good thing hi
Netters,
I too am saddened about our fellow flier in Canada. Care sould be taken on all
flights. after reading Mark Jones last flight experience, he had frost on the
ground. My last flight experience in the desert, was far from Mark's experience
with temperatures hitting near 100 degrees, I a
Lee, What are you going to repitch your prop too? Talked to a fellow
yesterday in Texas that had a 48 pitch on a bird similiar to yours. He
sure wished he had more pitch, but said his take offs were pretty
spectacular.Bobby

Guys,
What a great day! 60 degrees and west wind not to strong clear
blue sky and finally caught up at work.
I did one long flight for 1.9 hours and explored the effects of
fuel burning off in the header tank, some adjustments in the control
systems, slow cruise flying mostly120 to
Joe,
Congratulations, Joe and many happy landings.

Guys,
Another pretty good day. I preheated the engine and was in the
air at 7am. The temp on the ground was 22 deg. I preheated to 60 and the
temps rose steady from there. The climb out was good and strong and I was
at 2000 feet soon after turning cross wind and continued to climb to 3000

The short of it is a good morning. First time around the pattern I had to
go around as I was faster than I wanted to be over the numbers (about 85
mph) The second try was better and she settled in for a good roll out. So
I took off again and called out of the pattern to the west and ventured

Hi Mark
That was another great feedback article. I sometimes put a lot of weeks
between flights and find that I have to concentrate to and practice to get
my landings acceptable. I would only offer one suggestion to you.
Practice the landing at altitude and continue to slow the aircraft all
Mark,
I practice "Minimum control airspeed" at a safe altitude. When you can do this
with no loss of altitude then you are ready to land as slow as practical.
I use my indicated airspeed at that angle for practice, not calculated,true or
GPS speeds only indicated airspeed. As you know your act
Hi Mark,
Great to see you flying.
My pre first flight briefing was done by a 70+ year old crop duster, fly
anything with wings type, pilot and instructor. He is 6'5" and doesn't fit in
my KR2 :-(
His main advice was to learn tail dragger flying, fly from a grass strip, even
if it's beside the
Yes, I flew it again, and lived to tell about it. There are a few details at

Yea Mark but do you have Todd's Canopy's latest product? It is the bi-focal
windshield for us older pilots who need that extra magnification for reading.
Sorry could not resist.
