I don't care for tap-a-talk or the site's mobile version. Recently my phone stopped seeing the full site. If I select the full site I'm returned to the familiar home page but no matter what I do the view switches to mobile when I go to discussions. I can't see any settings on my phone that prevents the full site view so I wonder if it's a site thing? Any advice from tech guys out there?

After a few hundred landings I noticed that the out board side of the caliper is rubbing the inside of one of my 26" Goodyears.
I had thought about making a spacer to space the rotor out from the wheel to move the caliper farther inboard.
I understand that the new style Grove wheels have the rotore spaced more inboard than mine.
Anybody run into this, and what was your fix?
Thanks

Can anyone help me with the front seat solo limitation for the PA-12.
Since I am too tall (6ft9")to sit in the front seat, I want to fly the plane from the backseat. When I sit in the back I am able to reach and operate all controls normally. I checked the weight and balance and I am within limits.
How can I fly this plane legally from the back seat?

Regards,

Super chub is going to need a patch! I just came back from a great hour long practice session and found this. It looks like it just wore through inside out on the angle brace on the horz stab. the right side is also showing signs of the same. Any 180 Super Cubers have anything similar?

Requirements:
1. 100% UVA/B protection
2. Thin temple portions that will not open space between the earpieces of our headsets or helmets

Secondary requirements:
3. Ease of sliding into place without removing headset/helmet
4. Magnifying part of bifocals set relatively low on the horizon, so to speak
5. Sex appeal, preferable

I want to be able to use them in my Gallet helmet, as well as with my DC headsets or Bose headsets.

Thank you.
