My hat is off to Troy Pettiway for being such a true friend to be the test pilot for Mark, and to conduct such a thorough pre-flight that some routine things were discovered and corrected that could have gotten our illustrious leader hurt. Troy my hat is off to you one commercial pilot to another! Mark congratulations on the culmination of 12 years of hard dedicated work coming together in a plane that one of your peers complimented you on being so stable.

I stuck that on about two minutes before he taxiied away in it. Most everybody else's turtle deck is glassed in place. Mine is held on with piano hinges, which I know are strong, but the connection to the deck itself isn't as strong. When you start thinking about somebody ELSE's butt getting in a jam, you want all the insurance you can get. I was also concerned about the strength of the canopy latches, and will upgrade them soon, so I handed him a QuickClamp and said "what would you think about clamping one side of the canopy down with this". He said "give it here!". Might as well stack the odds in our favor, with so many opportunities for things to go wrong... Thanks for all the kind words, folks. It's still got a lot of rough edges and it's nowhere near finished, but this is proof that I'm gettin' there...

I can tell you that I was pretty nervous that something was going to happen to that plane, and therefore to Troy. The canopy latches had me worried, and there are so many things different about this plane from any other that you just have no idea what to expect. I suggesting waiting until another day several times, but said "no problem, I'm gonna fly it", and he did! I'm sure glad he did though, because now I know that all I have to worry about is my flying abilities, not the airplane's flying abilities. That will make me nervous enough, but to worry about "what if it starts overheating on climbout and I have to land it immediately with no chance for a go-around" and that sort of thing would be an overload for me...especially with no airspeed indicator or VSI.

He said if you discover that on landing or on taxi that the plane does start to get away from you, Try to hold it still rather then correct it completely. Given a second of stability, you can begin to bring it back to centerline gently, since you are probably only a little bit off the line anyway too radical a correction can be more trouble then it is worth.

His is the white plane with red trim shown about 2/3 of the way down at http://home.hiwaay.net/~langford/pinebluff2001/ . I didn't know whose it was at the time, so there's no mention of it. I'll have to fix that. He had a Subaru in these pictures, but is now running a Corvair. I think he won "best engine" or something like that, maybe more.

Unfortunately I did not see a chart to convert part numbers into what if was meant for. The series that fits the VW started in the old days as a 4016 and has been upgraded to the now 4316. The 2216 is not listed for the VW application. If the data plate is still attached it should tell you the rotation and the lag angle if it is Impulse coupled. I would get a current mag through Great Plains. The old mags are hard to find parts for and the parts cost too much. I don't recommend to my customers that they have me try to rebuild old mags, because at current labor rates, it only takes a few hours and one or two parts to make you wish you had purchased a new one.

I made sure on my first flight that I had mine mounted where I could see it and working correctly. It would not be fun at all on your first flight in a plane that you are not familiar with to not have an airspeed indicator. GPS may not be yor exact airspeed, but landing for the first time with no speed reference at all would be a real pucker event. You could try to get some idea of your stall speed at altitude, but everything looks different close to the ground.

Since I have a 2 and have been wanting to build a four place I have been kind of sitting on the fence for a while anyway about selling it or finishing it. Now that I will have plenty to keep me busy for a while, more than enough room to build a four place, and I want to put as much down to build a house as I can I am leaning towards the selling side again. I have a completed boat, complete new airfoil spars with the center section lengthened to give me good sized flaps, and pretty much all the materials to complete the airframe. I also have the canopy, premolded top forward deck, premolded canopy frame, premolded cowl, rudder pedals, wing attach fittings, and enough foam to finish the plane. I also have Diehl gear legs and custom made aluminum upper attach fittings and lower 4130 steel brackets that give me about an extra 5" of ground clearance. I have not come up with an exact price yet, but it will probably be somewhere in the 4-5K range. Email me directly at brian@engalt.com to get the complete list of parts and price when I get it together. I am also selling my Midget Mustang as soon as I get it done and get it in the air. I am doing most of the painting this weekend so it should be ready very soon now. It will be somewhere in the 18-22K range. Both are in Jacksonville, FL. I still have my KR-2 that needs just one new wing so I am not going anywhere. I just don't need three projects at the same time right now.

This happened to me on my first flight. The GPS certainly helped but beware of update rates and remember that it requires lack of wind ie., ground speed equals airspeed.
