"Oh! but the ladies think they're so cute"

Nuff said!

Thanks for the web page Steve. Your a good guy, I don't care what they have been saying about you while you were away.

I happen to agree with those of you that say they are more trouble than they are worth (I like grass fields). But, my wife says that "Super Flea" (yes, she has named our 150 Super Flea), needs "some of those cute pants" and she reminds me every time we see an airplane with wheel pants.

But if all it takes is a new pair of pants to make the wife accept "the other woman" than it is worth the trouble. Isn?t it?

P.S. They do help prevent rock damage to your horizontal stab on grass and gravel fields.

If super flea is the other WOMAN than I think you need wheel skirts not pants.

PS.
Hows the new airport doing ?
Do you still work at Pease ?

Hello Ron,

Things are going quite well thanks. I am still at Pease. Pease pays the bills, so I will probably be there for quite some time. Things are progressing well at Limington; we just installed a 24-hr credit card fuel system and moved the fuel farm away from the runway. As sad as it sounds we are now changing our focus to gear up for our first winter as airport owners. First project will be crack sealing.

My business partner and I are usually both there on Saturdays, so feel free to fly in and say hi.

Oh, we are working with the based EAA chapter and will probably host the first of many Fly-in Pancake-Breakfasts, the first week in September. We are hoping to have them once a month, but we'll see how much of hit they'll be.

Actually the second generation came in two different varieties, one was smooth, the pointy football, and the later variation had several "creases" in it and looked more like a canoe upside down, then the large blunt ones of the late '70's and '80's came out.

I think the very first fairings for the 150 were metal, like the 140, but am not sure.

Actually I despise wheel fairings and have always suggested to owners to remove them. From an operational and maintenance standpoint it makes no sense. Its just a looks thing.
