lol this spotter issue is yummy!
my two €urocents: most ppl seem to forget 2 factors: property and education.
from an operator point of view it’s true that covering/uncovering yr plane for every person who asks it is pure insanity, and there’s no way to leave it uncovered (all those switches, ligths and dials are too sensitive to heat..).. but in the mean time I understand the position of the hardcore spotters, who eventually paid a ticket.. now the way of the compromise would suggest to have a “spotters’ hour”, where all the spotters can have the plane uncovered (always according to the owner’s will) and take all the pics from a courtesy line (we found several persons struggling to seat in our Tigers in several occasions!).
As per the spotters who sign everything frantically… well it’s just an hobby, all in all they dont harm anybody, let’s be more tolerant 😉

P.S.
Melv, no kidding, that’s sweat on your T-shirt? At first I thought it was a lightning painted on it.. man, your sweating is far from human!! 😀

plate brakes? never heard of them before! :confused: this really tickled my curiosity, u have a skectch drawing or something? u even talked about some brake pics u took.. 😀
Anyway, think twice before installing disc brakes on a taildragger, they can turn out to be too effective and cause annoying results.. I’d definitely go for the drum ones.
