Well if nothing else it's easy to find the air leaks! Yahoo Mail: Search, Organize, Conquer

Some of the craziest, stupidest, wildest things that we do, we do because it ends up making a good story afterward. Or at least that is what I have come to use as the excuse! [email protected]>

Great story! The day before I was to set off from Long Island to drive to Texas for the start of the spring semester at the university of Texas at Austin, the heater core in my 67 Chevelle sprung a

I too am not a fan of the cold! I use to camp during the winter but anymore I just don't like it! In my Champ, with no real heat, I didn't mind the mid 40s on a sunny day. It's probably about the same

Some thought to the engine installed: Over the years, small Continental engines could start to run lean in cold temperatures, due to the evaporated fuel mixed with air having to flow up to the intake

Joe, Sounds pretty chilly!!? ?Oh the silly things we do in pursuit of this aviation experience!

Your post caused me to flash back to what was probably the coldest I have ever been in an airplane. I worked for Sonex Aircraft LLC back in the days when they still had the "Light Plane Expo" in

Two different ways to go for oil temp. Regulate the flow of oil with a fuel shutoff valve connected to a control. Or regulate the flow of air either into or out of the cooler with an airflow

You guys are way more resilient than I am. 35 to 40 and Sunny are my temps. I only put one heat exchanger on my exhaust sytem when I built my RV6. Food for thought for you Tailwind? builders. If you

I flew my Tailwind at -10 F after preheating with no problems though the Dynon screens were black for 5 minutes till the cabin warmed up inside. [email protected]> wrote:

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

Keith, when I put the skis on the Colt I would just go fly, as you say winter flying is nice, clear view and smooth air and with skis you have a lot more options for off airport landings.. Before all

Keith, Interesting that you should post your question today, as the Polar Vortex has just swept into Texas. Jeri and I spend winters in TX to avoid this cold BS! It is 24 degrees here in

Hello All, I am curious as to how cold it gets before you stop flying.? ? I have a really good heater in my plane and I think I have flown it down to about zero F but unless I have a specific

Sounds sort of like a KR2 style build method. How did it fly? Any pics? The KR guys are converting many of their builds from mixed wood/composite to full composite with excellent results. One TW

Cougar's with fiberglas win skins were somewhat popular in the Western US in the 50's and 60's Sme were Cougar in name only, more Tailwind than Cougar. None of those airplanes are currently

I have been thinking the same thing Mike. Ron Scott was a friend, and I remember the airplane well. Pretty unique in its day. It did have some Tailwind influence in it. Pretty cool. Joe

This discussion about fiberglass and CF triggered a memory about an aircraft called Ol' Ironsides.? I wrongly remembered it as a fiberglass covered Cougar, but in fact it was an original design with

Here it is as a jpeg. IMHO, it's a good thing to check out what everyone is doing. There's lots of great ideas out there to be gleaned and applied.
