I'm always there on Friday, Saturday and Sunday morning. Monday through Friday I’m in and out so if your coming by then, drop me an e-mail or call and let me or the girls at the restaurant know your arrival time. Camping is great and town is close if you want to stay over and do some flying, I always like company.

Look forward to seeing you again.

Ooops! would you believe "spindles" ?. Stupid computer... keyboard can't spell worth a crap.

Hi Mark, Sorry for the delay in a response. I've been out of town for a while. Yes, the bigger tires use larger (8") rims and new brakes & spindals. The tires are really cheap from the guys in Ohio but the wheels / brakes /axels were around $800 - $900. Call the MATCO people and tell them what you want to do and they'll make sure you get the right stuff. The new wheels use a better sealed bearing and the axels use an adapter to fit your current landing gear. It is a nice upgrade and I plan to post a full written assessment later this spring.

I may but I will not know until the last minute.

Hi Mark,

Things are looking perty good for this weekend. Will you be flying or driving to Cloverdale?

Rick

Hi Mark,

I finaly got back up in the air yesterday. What a great feeling after sitting on my butt all winter.

How is your fly-off going? How maney hours have you gotten in so for?

Rick

Hi Mark,

I have an early 701 and the nose gear bungee puts a lot of pressure on the “V-blocks” at the steering rods. This makes my rudder pressure very high. The later kits changed this problem. Hope this helps

Assuming the weather is good I’ll see you at Cloverdale.

Rick

Hi Mark,

I'm also planning to go to the May 9th fly-in at QSP in Cloverdale. I'm putting together a talk about Maintenance, who can do it, who can sign off inspections and so on. I usually go up the day before, Friday and come back the day after, Sunday. It’s pretty much a full day of flying for me. If your planning on going, I could come by your place on my way up and we could continue on to Cloverdale together. Let me know if this sounds like something that fits your schedule.

Get some hours in and shake her down. It’s a great reason to fly.

Rick

Hi Mark,

Was that your post on Matronics? Did you gotten your 701 Blessed?
