hohoho, good sense of humour for sure, and my buddy has taken your words to heart and is building a set of skis for his karotoo, and actually we have convinced the airport owner to plow the strip this year, not a lot of snow actually so on good days we can put on long johns, pants, overpants, gloves, mittens, hats, you get the idea and go flying. here we are taking off on the snow.

thanks for all the kind messages, i will look for some more fixing up pictures. bloody cold here for sure, hard to get in some flying time due to snow, cloud and just down right miserable weather, but spring is around the corner. tony

when flying say a continental 75 hp in an old taylorcraft what kind of balance should i look for, i have figured out that 95 mph is the max for the bird but need to figure out the balance between my beechman roby adj prop, revs and manifold pressure, anyone got any ideas on this. thanks tony

hi we have spent 3 months getting our 1946 Taylorcraft done up, wings recovered, new struts, new wheel struts, tires, speedo, etc etc, she has a 75 hp connie and goes at 95 mph no problem with the beechman roby adjustable prop. we also have a jk 05 pathmaker for a newer machine with a 912 80 hp unit and she is a goer for sure, jumps of the runway with one aboard. just finishing my student and going solo so watch out now, will put in some hours if the weather cooperates. looking forward to getting in some hours, some trips, some friends and some fun. want to attend a few fly in for sure tony
