I hope the Apex engine works out great. I don't think it can make 300, or even 150 reliable hp for any length of time. If it could, it would require... -
Mark;
Did you ever think about making a Bearhawk-themed aircraft Data plaque?Leave a comment:

Even for someone who never wants to get IFR rated, learning to be comfortable and reasonably proficient flying their gauges is definitely worth the effort....Leave a comment:

I may end up adding a MGL N16 Nav radio and going min IFR equipment for the same reason. Going through congested airspace is a lot less work on an IFR... -
On marine inboard engines a lot of time oil drain access sucks. They also make simple fittings that replace the drain plug to keep a hose permanently...Leave a comment:

Depending on the engine(car, boat, and motorcycles) and where the drain plug is, I used to use an extra half quart of oil or so after all the oil has...Leave a comment:

To me it looks like Rotax has been around long enough, and it is BIG enough in numbers, that I think they have the 60-130 hp gear reduction/prop combos... -
Oil Cooler, oil lines, and remote filter bracket are all custom. They have to work together. Especially the oil lines. I bought a really nice remote...Leave a comment:

I never looked at it like that, but by your definition, I have a lot to be proud of. LOL -
Good info, and easier than wing twist/washout. -

It has been a long time since I flew steam, but I remember it also being a tradeoff between too much light and killing your night vision. Too little...Leave a comment:

EFIS and moving maps give you more SA than you had in the past. If I was on floats in Minnesota (lots of lakes), or something similar, I would be more...Leave a comment:

I am putting lights on my plane, but only for visibility in low light. Dawn and dusk last a long time at the higher latitudes. I was never a big fan...Leave a comment:

You might want to run it by Bob. He might be interested in cutting files to sell along with plans for scratch builders that have access to CNC. It is...Leave a comment:

Digitizing the plans for your own use, on one build, would be no problem. Sharing them makes me cringe a little. Intellectual property, and all. I...Leave a comment:

Yeah, the auto places have a much larger selection of lots of things. A lot of times the prices are a lot better than aviation. Plumbing as well. I...Leave a comment:

Hopefully it turns out good. Do you happened to know if he has VG's, profiled tail, or gap seals on the elevator already? -
I know Rotax is severely limited by weight of the prop. So you can't help by adding a heavy prop. That might not be a Rotax thing, but a reduction gear...
