Hi Gang:
Again, we had a ball at the Nauga Field Fly Around 2008. This year was as
good as last year, and we did not have to contend with rain. Got a little
warm, but the old hunting camp has central air.
Here's a few photos from the Fly Around:
Our gracious hosts, John and Sandy Bickham.

This photo does not give one the true size of the tug and tow. Count the
barges. There are 35 of them. Wish I had something in the photo to give
the true size of one of these barges.

Star Hill locals seeking relief from the heat. The local non-flying
populace is an intergral part of the flyin. They enjoy watching us fly as
much as we enjoy flying for them.

We flew over to False River to top off the fuel tanks prior to departing for

Anyone know how to get a hold of Gary Haley ? I really like his dual tail wire setup, I already have the hardware to do this and would like some information on it.
Thanks,
Mike

It's pretty simple to do.
You can do it like this - with or without the curves in the stabilizers.
You will, of course, need to put sleeves where the bolts go thru before
you build the tail. - you will have to slide them in place inside the
tubes before you rivet things together.

Possums,
I see you do not have the tabs with the different holes in them like comes with the MK III, did you put a turnbuckle in there somewhere ? Looks like the lengths would have to be perfect to keep the tail from twisting, was that difficult to set up ? BTW, Nice shop ! I need a work area like that, I would be motivated to get a lot more done...

You can change those things to.
Not that there is anything wrong with the original equipment.
It's just cleaner and not that expensive to do.
I had all my cables "machine" swaged this way ( elevator, rudder and tail wires)
by a guy near Aircraft Spruce in Griffin Ga.
He supplies the cables and fittings.
He does need to know the length from "hole to hole" on the attachment
points and they are only adjustable about an inch.
There is only a turnbuckle on one end so you better know the measurements
if he's not local.
I'm sure there are people like him all over the country.
