Oh Joe,? going to Texas is cheating :)? ? You and I have similar feelings about when to fly etc.? ? What type of tape do you use on the cowl openings?? ?As I mentioned,? I used to tape up the Tripacer openings but used duct tape.? ?I really don't want to do that with the Tailwind as it leaves residue.? I am considering the blue painters tape.? Do you think it would stand up to the speeds?
?
Farmer John--? How much clearance did you have between the prop and and nosewheel ski?? Ski flying is really nice if you have a nice smooth surface.? Kind of rough if any little drifts etc.? I am NOT considering putting skis on the Tailwind although it probably would be fine.
