Re: Losing the training wheel.
You can do an inverted spin in anything, in theory. Most inverted spins in the Pitts were a result of me screwing something up, like the Immelmann or vertical rolls were really hard for me. Airplanes without inverted systems will not be happy, because you are inverted! If the instructor is comfortab...

Re: Losing the training wheel.
My first inverted spin was inadvertent. We were doing Immelmanns and mine were rushed and sloppy. He wanted me to pause at the top and make sure I was level inverted before I rolled out. So I paused, looked left and right, and I was nice and level. I had managed to stop with my nose up a few degrees...

Will I have trouble with glare or is that a fancier MFD problem?

Re: Sonex incorrect aluminum material notice.
I would be aggravated. Most of my previous aggravation in my building career has been self induced. When I first saw your post there was a moment of panic that I was affected too. It is so hard to get time that it would kill me too. So no, I don't consider it whining. I do think it will not seem so ...

Re: Sonex incorrect aluminum material notice.
Wow, that sucks. Better than them not finding it and a failure happening, but that still sucks.

Re: Cotton Waiex 191 - N191YX
Thanks guys - I did notice that one but I have missed those details before!
Too bad Sonex does not automatically cut in the Waiex holes and then provide the straight tail guys with a patch kit. :)

Re: Cotton Waiex 191 - N191YX
I cut the slots for the ruddervator pushrods in the aft skin tonight. Cut the two 1 3/4" holes with a holesaw then cut between them with a dremel and cutoff wheel.
I clecoed the two skins together and holesawed both skins at once. I think one at a time would have been smarter but it came out ok.

Re: Losing the training wheel.
A clarification - most of my Acro time was in the Pitts, about 10 hours. I don't have nearly 1000 hours in the Pitts! When I reread what I wrote it looked wrong. I do still want one when I grow up though.
