southwind25 Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 We got a call sunday morning.."hey are you guys comming?? " So we quickly put a coat of wax on the 7, found some warm clothes and went on the Austin Heley clubs fall foliage tour. A cold rain in the morning didnt keep us away, it just made for a tail happy 7. we had a few healeys. an MGB and us (and a few pieces of german and japanese iron too) Was a great day, and we ended up at a new place called "the pub" in rocky river cleveland.. Mike R take note: we kept the route directions, we gotta do this one!!http://www.usa7s.net/aspnetforum/upload/1624039911_bobfall.jpghttp://www.usa7s.net/aspnetforum/upload/2046390095_fall3.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Rohaley Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 I'm sorry I missed it. It looks like much more fun than exhaust and brake work on the winter car. Maybe we will need to run the route on one of those mega-snowfall days so you can exercise your Subaru. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southwind25 Posted October 28, 2008 Author Share Posted October 28, 2008 hat details? actually, our youngest son bought it at a spring british car show this past year, a onion jack on blue,, it sorta ties on the bottom, and the ball on top bounces around like a paddleball...all add to the fun! :rofl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHKflyer52 Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Can one say Wiperwill (the bird) with a British accent wearing a Union Jack? Your son has a good taste and you have a sense of humor. I use to fly an airplane that had a tuft of yarn on the nose cone so you could see if you were in a high-speed skid while doing combat maneuvers, guess your tassel would work the same when cornering hard. You might be starting a trend you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great airplane for its time and a lot of fun, just stay off the brakes until very slow or you will be on the nose while taxiing a Stearman. Here is a photo that shows what I was talking about. http://www.usa7s.net/ASPNETFORUM/upload/234363281_Skid String.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowss7 Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Martin, Can't be 100% sure but that looks like an F 14. Is That what you drove? Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanG Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 A tassel on the nose is standard practice on sailplanes. It provides out side the cockpit indication of a coordinated turn, lack of slip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
