aboyd Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: 2. "RE: Finally, I'm Ready to Buy an Ai..." 10-08-02, 02:59z  Congratulations!! It looks like a honey. I am sure you will have an ear-to-ear grin the first time you put the stick over in YOUR Pitts! Suggestions: 1) Goodyear Flight Custom III last longer, but the first thing any new Pitts owner should do is burn out 3 sets of tires practicing landings. Be cautious of crosswinds at first - and avoid quartering tailwinds like the plague - but after a while, you will effortlessly take off and land in crosswinds that other pilots consider insurmountable. 2) 3M bookbinding tape to gap seal the ailerons, with 1/3 of the aft width folded over. 3) the best pilot is usually the one who puts the most 100LL through his engine -- aboyd@igs.net http://www.webhost-canada.com/~boyd/team.htm Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
