Lee, Those are great pics. Those mountains look a little scary. I remember flying to the gathering last year in the 175. We went over the Smoky Mountains. It is scary to think of what you might go through if your engine quit somewhere among those mountains, with no flat spots.
Keep the pics coming and fix that check list. Your main gear must be too far aft, what does your W&B show with full fuel? Do you have the retract? See N64KR at http://KRBuilder.org - Then click on the pics See you in Mt. Vernon - 2006 - KR Gathering There is a time for building and a time for FLYING and the time for building is OVER. Daniel R.

With the ability to fly to Yuma, I don't mind Going to some work on a weekend. Again the flight over was uneventful, but the retur home well.... I have little tail wheel weight with a full tank so I have a 8 lb weight that hook on the tail by the tail wheel. Yes I don't have it on the check list and Yes I took off with an 8 lb weight on the tail of the plane. It flew great, a little sensitive on the elevator. By the time I figured it out I was over the dunes in CA. I went back to YUMA to look at the damage. Well not only was there no damage, the weight was still there. I removed it, placed it behind the seat and took off again. I flew back with no other issues. Just look at the photos http://vandyke5.com/Yuma.htm Lee Van Dyke Mesa AZ [email protected] _______________________________________ Search the KRnet Archives at http://www.maddyhome.com/krsrch/index.jsp to UNsubscribe from KRnet, send a message to [email protected] please see other KRnet info at http://www.krnet.org/info.html
