I never take anything the wrong way. My wife reminds me all the time that is a good thing that not everyone thinks like me. And after 30 years of constant reminding, I do listen and learn from other ...

John and Gang,

A lot of the things I did along the build were hardly worth the money or effort. The entire inside was all lined with a nice fuzzy fabric, just like a trunk of a nice car. Function ...

This is the set up I had in my FSII. The tank is .070 (forgot the alloy) and it held 8 gallons. BARELY fit into the spot without cutting any tubes. Tank had a 1/2 baffle installed.

Had a sight g ...

When I watched the 180's back to the runway, I puckered up a bit. When I watched this one it was more enjoyable but still had some puckering going on.

I realized in my years of flying, the only ...

Burt Rutan did not get locked into a world of conforming to what is accepted as standard. Either did Homer Kolb.

I still read the Kolb List even though my FS has a new owner.

Fly safe all,

I discussed this with a personal injury lawyer. He advised me to destroy the aircraft if I no longer wanted to be 100% safe. I did not follow his advise and sold the plane.

The other defense to b ...

My friend took this picture Sunday. Flying in ND

I flew today and the SPOT worked fine. I mounted it so that it had a clear view of the sky and it sent position reports as promised every 10 minutes. I attached a shot of the SPOT web page that show ...

I have a SPOT unit and I agree the "update" function is "spotty". When it works, it is pretty cool. The "Check In" message is reliable. Have not needed the 911 message ...

Wow!

Looks like you are enjoying some fall flying.

Really cool video for sure. Very Happy

Thoughtful advice ---- "If I do take someone up, I make sure that I fly very carefully and safely, keeping in mind that stall speeds are up and the plane will be a lot heavier than I am used to. ...

This is an excellent topic and faces any of us who carry passengers, even in non-owned aircraft.

I agree, a "written agreement" before the flying would not hurt and it will create a speed ...

Nice video you made.

I sold my Kolb recently and just found a set of LandShorter VG's that I had purchased last winter during the "Winter" VG debate. I never got around to installin ...

The trailer is "extra". I am selling the trailer for $4000 by itself. You can have the package for $14K. Heck of a deal.

Now as far as a trailer, is it over done for the payload, but ...

A few notes about the trailer have been sent my way... pictures speak a 1000 words so here is to saving some long dialog.

If you are lurking here and want a fine plane, check out my E-LSA Firstar II that is for sale. I listed it on barnstormer.com tonight. I flew it today and it flies great but I need some room. I bou ...

477 Rotax

How do I test an EGT and CHT sender w/o running the engine? Before I wreck something I thought I should inquire. I could not find and help using the search.

Thanks.

Steve:

I see how you did that now. Much better than mine!

I think I may have another project to add to my to-do list. Mine is similar to yours but .... not as nicely done.

Thanks for pointi ...

Steve:

Nice job on the gap seal. Looks like you have a nice project going too.

I wish I could go to Sun & Fun .... Sad

I need both some Fun and Sun .... winter will not leave the Dakota ...

Boyd:

I have one of those hole locater devices you describe. I get the idea of using the strap on the outside.

I was looking at the part and I am thinking I may be able to set up the old with t ...
