Enjoyed it! Thanks. That X looks very large inside compared to my MKIII.

The range I use for my MkIII is:

Aft CG Limit is 23.1" or 35% of wing chord
Forward CG Limit is 16.5" or 25% of wing chord

Yes, it's hard to compete with your area and your efforts are part of my inspiration. Maybe some day I can get out that way. Smile

Hi All,
I thought I would try a voice over video again just to see what happens. Just a short little flight.

Thanks,
Allan

Same guy must have rigged my rudder cables. Very Happy

Thanks for the video. Enjoyed it much as always!

I land on the beach which I think has more slope than that (18" over 50') and I don't seem to have any problem. I either land with a slight bank already on or land on one wheel and let the othe ...

I'm probably a nervous Nellie and I'm certainly not qualified to tell anyone what to do but I think you would feel a lot more comfortable if you had a few hours of tailwheel instruction. As has alrea ...

Love the videos, keep em coming.

Thanks much! Enjoyed the flight and the comments as always.

Great video! Loved it and enjoyed flying with you as always.

Thanks,

Putting the angle on the front of the pitot tube is something I had already read about from you and others on the forum and I've had that in place for a good while now. Good stuff.

I was a little surprised that during the first flight after replacing my nose cone that my MKIII would only do about 50 knots indicated. I really didn't think that modifying the nose shape should hu ...

Here are a few pictures and a description of the process.

1. I drew a template of the existing instrument panel shape and transferred that to the fiberglass sheet and cut it out. I then attached ...

I have one for a Firefly on Microsoft X. I don't remember where I got it but pretty sure it was a download from a search I did for Kolb on Google.

Unfortunately most of my pictures of this process were lost when my phone was destroyed (another unrelated story). I didn't use a plug or a mold. Not to say it was the right way but this was done w ...

You think maybe some eyes and a more 'beak' like color scheme might help? Smile

Damaged my nose cone and since a new one was not available I had to make one from scratch. Obviously changed the look a bit and I'm not sure if I'm happy with it yet or not.

Great Picture! Those are my stomping grounds pretty much and I may have landed on that beach. Smile

Hope the weather warms up, not just up there but down here too!

I think it's great if people take the time to format their posts and all that, spell things properly and use good prose. I even like it if they size their pictures smaller unless that costs some deta ...
