Thanks Brad …dr
Brad from Garmin visited my home field for two hours this past Friday to answer questions regarding Garmin products. He was one town over on business and asked if he could stop by. Fourteen folks showed up.
Thanks you Brad, and thanks to Scott D. who let us use his hangar (he has a bathroom).

Congrats Coleman …dr
RV-6 on our field got a new panel and some engine work. After a few years of work, Coleman, who bought the plane, got it back in the air. When I showed up at the hangar Friday, this had already been circling the field for an hour <g>.

Need tailwheel chain/spring recommendation
I just recently did this. Before I switched to chains I rechecked the wheel alignment an adjusted to zero toe in/out (as close as possible). Added the chains and no more twitchy landings. I’m thinking it’s the alignment and not the chains that corrected the twitchy roll out.
For the chains you’re looking for eye-bolts in the rudder horns.
