   3 mile vis in Class G airspace (Sport Pilot)

   Getting ready for a bi-annual (havent flown in a long time, like 2 years ). I see that the 3 mile vis requirement is still there for Sport Pilots in class G.  Any idea why this is (when ultralight pilots, private pilots have only 1 mile)?

   Rib Stitch over Covered Wings with Perimeter Tapes

   Can you rib stitch after perimeter tapes have been installed (can this be done without needing to reaccomplish perimeter tapes), or do I buy into adding another layer of perimeter tapes to the wings?

   We have a weather reversal going on here.. Its been in the upper 30s and well into the 40s all week at the house.  Raining like hell and no snow left in the yard.  Frickin weird winter for sure!
    
   Have you had pike?  I know they are a close cousin of the walleye, maybe even the difference is like a caribou and a reindeer.. geographic location otherwise they look and taste the same
    
   I think I prefer pike to halibut.  The guy that owns the lodge showed me how to fillet them so you don't get any bones in the fillets and the small strip that ends up with all the bones he pickles and it dissolves them... good damn eating fried, pickled or however else he cooks it.
    
   They got a 45 or 47" out of the lake in front of the lodge last summer.. most of them run 18-30".  My biggest I pulled out of there was 42"  Fun fish on a light trout rod and 6 pound test!

   I tried ice-fishing when a teen in Michigan, also rode once in a convertible with the top down at 19 below! Ice don't get thick enough here, but thick enough to keep your boat out of the lake.

   And, anything I can put one in, like Kitfox, Ercoupe - Yes, I was trained in the old 150, 172,182, etc. Instructors kept bitching because the runway was not dead-centered behind me on takeoff - the compass don't keep you centered, so I used the mirror a lot! It's also good to watch the hot rod who took off right behind you. Of course, bush flyers don't have that problem!

   Ya, these are great eating size fish. The nice thing about it is we can catch them on the river that is only about a half mile from my house. I will agree they are not as good as halibut but, much cheaper per pound though. I might as well fish, its been to cold to fly. Its been about 8 below every night for a week.

    I thought all planes had a mirror so you could see the F-16s coming up behind you!

    The windows on Joey's TD are EXACTLY the same as the ones on my MKIV. The look awesome, but contribute nothing functionally (unless you install a small rear view mirrior for taxiing) and they add to the weight.
     
    Just sayin......

    It's been a real cold winter up here in Mn, and I've been spending way to much time on youtube.  I got a kick out of this one.  Maybe some of you will as well.   Russian soldiers in a spoon fight....   Some guys don't know when to quit.  LOL   Jim Chuk

    There are a whole lot of planes using side mounts and 3:1.  The only thing I have heard about 3:1 was IVO said don't use 3 blade ultralight prop with the 3:1.  I did it for a whole lot of hours with no issues, but I like the way mine fly's using 2.62:1

    Seems like someone said the 3:1 couldn't be used with side mount Do you have bottom mount?
    Or, was that for Kitfox?
    I know nothing about this!

    Wallys are good eating. We got some Jack Salmon at Shnucks (the anti-gun folks) Friday and they smelled bad - had to take them back and eat tuna patties.

    I notice that you forgot to include a tape measure with those bait fish!
    I think we are only allowed one walleye here, for safety reasons - Two if you have a huge boat!
    I've got a photo of a 33 pound striped baby bass.
    Good Fishing,
    EDMO
    Alaska ruined my fishing - gave away my good dipnet - didn't use a pole except for halibut, and nothing that big down here!
