Is a real hammerhead possible?

[mechanic]

Pretty choppy, not mid atlantic though. Still fatal if you fell overboard i imagine 
Seagulls are a heart warming sight for any sea voyage.

I want the plane ride too im sure a pilot would make me sick more consitently than any skipper.

You ever be interested in trading a plane ride for a commercial fishing boat ride?<g> 
See who can make the other sick the quickest? 

Betting you could Scotch, went out of Pacfic City in a Dory one time and it was not pleasent.

What part of Oregon?

[Dadsguns]

you can but it's not necessary to do one properly.

I take it that the stall limiter should not be enabled?  Will that make it easier?

Good question. I've never flown with the stall limiter on as it is a handicap in a stall fighter.

When I was learning them in my RV-6 got to slow at the top and and just barely made it around (lucky no tailslide) and just had to sit there and wait till the nose came down and got some flying speed. Without an inverted fuel system the engine quit and prop stopped, with the original wood props on RV's it is hard to air start without a lot of speed,
finally had to hit the starter button to get the engine turning again.

That does sound like a pucker moment.

Why did you not put the flop tube in? It is easy when building, pain in the but post build.

Do you now have a constant speed prop? If so , just making sure you are aware of over speed possibility at zero g's.

I'm sure you can do it while it's enabled but never have flown with it enabled so I can't say for 100%.

The Pacific City dory's are pretty cool!
We have one but it's pretty much retired to sit in front of our shop now.
Did you do the whole beach launch into the surf?

I'm down in Newport. We used to go to the airshow over in Hilsboro all the time.

Wished many times I had installed the flop tube, but still don't have one. I did change out the wood prop for a Sensenich metel fixed
which is much easier to air start with.

Yup did the beach launch, never again for me:) I use to exhibit my RV-6 at the Hillsboro airshow
 in the homebuilt/experimental aircraft section you may have seen it there.
