Years ago I read about a support, behind the main wheels, which would prevent tip over on the tail. Seems simple enough. Look in the archives. Thee were pictures, maybe a drawing. Surely less than $10

Ok, we need the capability of instruction in out experimental aircraft. The FAA is aware of this, and today issues LODA authorizations in minutes, some have reported. But, what caused the problem is p

You can always apply. Seems to me this is the right thing for every experimental owner to do.

Still, it appears that the FAA understands the problems that court case caused, and they do want to do what they can to help. It appears getting the exemption is meant to be rather easy. What, 3-4 min

This covers only brakes. One wonders whether the same thinking could be applied to other controls. This seems to imply that to be an aircraft, there must be pitch, roll, and yaw controls. But, I don't

This caught my attention. Just how much torque did you use? I seem to recall a dim past memory about using maybe 20 ft/lb for auto spark plugs. Maybe a bit less with anti-seize. For me, I'm just glad

Did you also test the old probes? If not, then you're not looking at all the data. Doubtful ... Can't fix a problem until you know what the problem is. Maybe a third set of sensors, and / or meter(s).

Ok. Why not? I'd think that it would be rather strong.

What do I think? Wow, you like to leave things wide open, huh? While I've thought about this topic quite a bit, I have no experience to relate, nor engineering data. However ... I think that Mike's so

Ah, how can I put this delicately. If you do use it, we all hope it worked successfully, so that you can give a full report. :-)

Have you read the instructions for building it? Not much material there, but, some significant (in my inexperienced opinion) work involved. As far as I know, no EZ with the roll-over structure has bee

Masking tape ??

While it's fun to bash the FAA, perhaps walk a mile in their shoes. Yes, and I'll bash them a bit. It appears all of this comes out of the "old military aircraft for thrill seekers", and the propensit

It's not leisure, it's therapy. :-)

Ok, I quickly scanned those URLs. I didn't see anything that would stop someone from going to his private hangar, going out for some "joy of flight", put the aircraft back, and go home. Perhaps the gu

I'm curious, what does virus restrictions have to do with flying? As for the exhaust, why does it seem you feel an aviation business must do such work? Lots of companies and individuals can do TIG wel

Is this opinion, or, do you know something I do not? I'd really like to hear your reasons for why it is not legal. Isn't solving the problem the real objective?

This is exactly what I would suggest. What is the real difference between some used fiberglass structures, and the bolts, nuts, the very metal in them, just as the very fiberglass and epoxy in the use

Well, no surprises here. It's slight, but I can sometimes tell that there is less performance, fuel economy, and such, in my car. Rain is drag.

You could try Composites One. It's been some years, but, I bought a bunch of DivinyCell and other foam from them. Aircraft Spruce is fine for some things. Perhaps not so fine for serious stuff. But, i
