FBG: The tail woodwork repair is complete. Hinges are re-attached. Need to rebuildthe control horns. Metal's coming for that. Wood and metal for the centersection are ordered. A very generous individual sent me a complete set ofCharlie Rubeck wing ribs. I have all the wing spars and the fuselage longeronsin the garage. An EXTRAORDINARILY generous individual sent me the better partof a corvair motor with most of the conversion parts (unbelievable!). WWwill use that as a basis for my engine rebuild. We hope to run the engine atCorvair College 24 in SC in November.Me: I'm fine. I limp, cannot run, and fatigue a little quicker than before, butI'm at 90%. Hope to be running by the end of the year. I flew my friend'sWichhawk on Friday with no problems, then spent the next 2 hours working on it,crawling underneath, reaching into the guts, etc. The trim system bowden cablejammed. Hope to fix it this weekend so I can fly it again.Shelley: completely recovered. Doing the band-Mom thing full throttle with herboy and having a ball.Once again, thank you all for your kind thoughts, prayers and support.--------Kevin "Axel" PurteeNX899KPAustin/San Marcos, TXRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: skid taxi

So.... taxiing with a skid is interesting..I have individual brakes but i think i need a little more leverage... so longerlevers are coming... its not too bad turning..forward stick and a blast of airworks pretty well...getting closerhttp://s1125.photobucket.com/albums/l593/jfaithbass/?action=view¤t=VID_20121002_141648.mp4jeffRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Tue, 02 Oct 2012 15:43:25 -0400

KevinThank you for your most excellent post. Your observations and pics came at anopportune moment. I am currently working on the turtle deck and had built mineabout to the original FBG height because I like the look of the slightly lowerturtle deck. The new one now in the jig will be 9 inches above the longeronsat the peak, exactly the same height as the forward arches. My shoulder harnessattach points will be about the same distance behind the seats as you used.Again thank you for your willingness to share what must be a rather unpleasantexperience.Dave AldrichRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: skid taxi

I'm not really looking to get rid of the trim tab completely. Just hoping to toneit down to a small trim tab without such a big bend in it.
