Old Pilot, New Member, Lark owner

[flyorride]

Hey Guys,
Just joined up. Also just purchased a Rockwell Lark 100-180. Interested in any other owners out there and helpful info regarding the peculiarities for this plane. I will pick it up next week.
I live in central Arkansas and have flown lots of different and wierd taildraggers up to and including DC-3's.
I have a hangar at a municipal airport which has had a long and colorful aviation history, but has been in the "failing-to-thrive" Mode for the last 20 years. Anyone interested in techniques for revitalizing GA interests? I'm all ears.

Hi Mike.
I just bought a Lark as well and am looking for info as well.
I bet you already know about J.C. Enterprises. If anyone out there can heip me with some questions about the spring cartridge assembly figure 20 # 8 of the Lark Commander parts manual part # 35803 I'd really appreciate it. 35803 connects to the torque tube assembly and nose wheel steering rod.
I am looking forward to hearing from other Lark Commander owners.
Thank You
Brian

Any interest?

Mike-
Why not get ahold of a scout troop who would be willing to trade some effort sprucing the place up for some flying time. Maybe include an airplane wash in their fund raisers (train them well and supervise them better). Find every silent auction and school/church fund raiser you can and offer a coupon for a skyride as a prize.

I am considering a Darter/Lark. How wide is the cabin at the front seats and across the back seats. Also, can you e-mail a copy of the weight and balance envelope and loading chart? acrosport2/AT/hotmail/dot/com.

Thanks
