Hay "Uncle Craig"Delighted you flew your beautiful Extra, and at a great time of day too. Must have been a wonderful experience.

Did I see some pix of your bird flying without the engine cowling? Have you had any problems with it? I was planning to make one --

fair winds,

Hi Craig,



Let me know when you want to fly and I'll fly up in my Mark III from Tucson and meet you. Coolidge is only a 30 minute flight for me. 

We met at Monument Valley. I had the Red, White and blue stars and stripes. I fly twice a week. The flying is usually good up til 0900 hrs.

ROGER I WOULD LOVE TO FLY WITH YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND YES RUSS I HAVE

NOT FLOWN WITH THE COWLING AS YET, AFTER MY LAST ENCOUNTER I AM GOING TO

GET A FEW HOURS BEFOR I MOUNT IT. We did a lot of modification and are

just going a little slower. On the rebuild we mounted the horizontal

brackets that have adjustment holes like the fire star. To date we have

had them in the bottom hole and it seems as though we are pushing a lot

or air with the bottom of the wing (can't seem go gain much air speed)

it doesn't feel like it did two years ago. I talked to Travis at TNK he

said we might try raising the horizontal. Can any one give suggestions

the prop is pitched at 11.5 deg and at 5200 the air speed is only 50 to

55 it feels a bit mushy. I will be in New York till the end of the month

and will resume testing in Aug.

Unk Craig/Gang:



Maybe you are flying too early in the morning.  Airplane hasn't had a 

chance to wake up completely.

Pat,



Actually, the Iditarod has been won exactly once by a woman, in 1985 by 

Libby Riddles, who I had the pleasure of meeting a couple weeks ago.

SORRRRRY!		I Screwed UP big Time about the Iditarod being won only once 

by a woman. My BAD, sorry to Susan Butcher who has won it multiple 

times and any other ladies that have done  so. Libby RIddles was merely 

the first to do so in 1985.
