Mike,
I=92m glad you have a tail dragger to get some time in. Is a Luscombe with
a bad wheel alignment on steroids. A Champ or Cub are too docile. A Cita
bria with the stiff gear spring legs is pretty good or a short wing Piper p
acer. Once you have the three point attitude down, it is a pussy cat.
I was weather cancelled for my stress test last week. I have been unable t
o get it rescheduled this week. I=92m itching to get back in the air and s
hould be good to go by the end of this month if I can get the doctors to co
operate.
I always like to have all the pilots on the policy. Check with your insura
nce company, normally one test pilot or instructor pilot is not an extra ch
arge. Also check as some companies will not insure the hull until a certai
n number of hours are on the airframe.
Early November is great. We have another grandbaby coming this week and Gr
andmas have booked me for early October for two weeks.
Stay out of the sun out there, the weather channel shows its pretty brutal
right now.
Regards,
Bud Yerly

Glad to hear you and Anita came through it well. For some reason, I figured
you would be well-prepared.
I believe I have a line on a hanger at Henderson executive airport come Nov
ember 1. I also lined up a CFI that has access to a Taildragger, so I can g
et my BFR and hours to help calm the insurance companies when I contact the
m.
Towards that end, I have a couple of questions so that I know which way to
proceed. Are you still inclined to come out to Las Vegas for the first flig
ht and flight testing? How is your flight status? When I contact the insur
ance company, do I have your name added as a pilot to the policy? I was thi
nking of starting the flight testing the beginning of November. I think we
should have nice comfortable weather for the flight testing. How does that
sit with your schedule.
Looking forward to it.

To all:
We made it through Hurricane Irma just fine. The eye went over our house i
n Valrico about 1AM on Monday. Winds on the West side of the eye wall were
only 80-90 mph. Trees were knocked down and power out until Thursday. Th
e shop had some screws come out of the roofing and only a few drips. Many
limbs and branches to clean up. The Plant City Airport hangar I use is fin
e. The shaking just made a mess of the interior due to paint and dirt/bird
droppings falling from the ceilings. Just cleanup.
At home, we were prepared. Storm surge/ waters have to hit 100 feet to get
to my house, we have a 5500 watt generator, water purifiers, a 15,000 gall
on pool for a water source, plenty of food and of course plywood for coveri
ng up windows. We don=92t power our AC unit so fans were necessary to beat
the heat. Our home is reinforced to Cat 2 hurricane standards and we have
seen 115 mph winds before. Our roof has not just new shingles, we have a
peel and stick, self healing membrane on the roof. To meet cat three I jus
t need ply on my patio / lani doors and internal reinforced garage door sup
ports. It is OK for us to weather a Cat 2 but trust me, I won=92t be here
for a Cat 3. Not worth it.
I feel bad about the East coast of Florida as they never expected the storm
surge of water of which almost nothing can be done about the flooding and
power of water. Shame, as most of us never saw that coming with the storm
over the West coast and moving north so fast, but it was a very large storm
and even ships were floated inland as far north as South Carolina. The st
orm luckily missed Key West and although power was out, and trees are down,
the city is not too bad considering. We don=92t know how Creighton Smith
=92s house is yet on Pine Island which is between Sarasota and Fort Meyers.
I think Ira Rampil in Griffin Ga. had more wind, tornados and rain than
I did. He did well as his place is well built.
Best Regards,
Bud and Anita Yerly
