I posted to bring back some old reviews and would like any and all type of HBA to be included. My case a all wood Taylor monoplane so I was reading old news letters from early KR's 1 + 2. July 28th 1985 so nearly 37 years ago. Many neat thing were discussed from holding your tail on the ground until 40 mph due to rudder effect and staying 75-80 mph on final for you can see over your nose. I would like to see a comparison from early lessons you have learned to ones you have found during your build. Who knows this could be a good place to aid others in the future. One story that keeps in my mind is from Bob Muse Sr. he was flying along and got into some rough air and I'd say real rough. He said the aircraft was rolled over 135 degrees and lost 4 gallons of fuel out the vent tube before landing. I'd say that was a bumpy ride. o_O
