STOL wing ribs

[EDMO 1078]

Larry,

Not sure you have the best model there - Mine folds up to carry in baggage compartment!

Are you trying to educate the younger flyers?

EDMO

[dholly 718]

Hey go ahead and knock it until you need it. Got me one after my back injury and it was the snizzit!

[EDMO 1078]

You are 100% right Doug.

I just hope Larry don't get confused and try to turn around and use his as a tailwheel - You can ground-loop real easy that way!

Who started this mess?

What does this have to do with ribs?

(bunch of old hijackers)

[EDMO 1078]

Blame it on us old BSrs with wandering minds!

Once he had two offers for rib patterns, it seemed boring I guess, so we pick on each other?

Kffan, you gotta remember we have a lot of the older crowd in here with the attention span of my wife... or maybe my 19 month old daughter we are easily amused and we never, ever, EVER pass up an opportunity to flip Ed some shit about his training wheel.. I think it's on page 2 of the guy code

Yep, I pretty much figured all that out about a week after joining the forum. (I'm still sharp like that) At least it gives the thread a bump to keep it from dying.

Don't you lose your man card if you put a training wheel on a KF or Avid?

[EDMO 1078]

Not if you can show the worn-out tail skid!

EDMO

[Cropduster13 11]

Touche!

[dholly 718]

Ho boy, I've been hiding behind my trigear Aerotrek after those comments! Hoping my tail skip proves I don't wear women's underwear on the weekends.

[KFfan 151]

Excesive flare in the Aerotrek?

Probably a carrier-practice landing and too heavy and fast for the tailhook! Edited 27 Mar 2015 by Ed In Missouri

Part of the previous owner's mess I am cleaning up. To be fair, it was the ramp jockey at his A&P who lost control and drove it thru an outdoor hanger.

What is a practice landing?

I think you either land or you don't!

[akflyer 1427]

If you just drag the tail wheel or skid down the length of the runway and don't let the mains touch I think you can call it good practice

[KFfan 151]

Touche'

I should have posted this pic right after the picture of the walker with the nose wheels, but better late than never. Here is a tricycle geared rig I built for the grandson. He will be 3 on May first. We were both playing with it last week trading turns riding it, but for some reason I started to sit on it backwards and stearing with my hands behind me while he tried to push me. Good thing I have about 550 hrs flying tailwheel Avids. Nearly ground looped it anyway.... Jim Chuk

Those that have....And those who will! Turn around and fly forward next time!

This is classic thanks for the chuckle guys.

[EDMO 1078]

Yeh, Like "Brotherly Love" - Good thing I never had brothers!

EDMO

[KFfan 151]

I have a brother 16 months younger than me. I can remember many times our mother would reach the limits of her patients and sternly say, "just go outside!".

[1avidflyer 1983]

Mine would probably have wanted to add to the "go outside"- AND KEEP ON GOING! Wonder why sometimes our parents still loved us. LOL Jim Chuk
