I think the "2 weeks to taxi" type program would be incredibly beneficial for a lot of people (myself included, though I probably could not... -
The challenge would not be just getting through the ASTM process one time, it's the requirement to keep producing ALL of the E-LSA parts to the ASTM standards... -
"4.5 G's at 5 lbs isn't much." True, but that's the g-loading for in-flight stuff. What you're worried about is a crash, where that paddle... -
Feeling suitably humbled... But what a gorgeous Patrol! -
I wondered about this as well, so I checked a few sources. It appears that on a certificated airplane, all airspeed limits are IAS, not TAS. Vne is set...Last edited by JimParker256; 06-11-2019, 09:31 AM.Leave a comment:

Seems like I remember reading that the EarthX folks want the VR set slightly higher for recharging their LiFePo batteries than is typically used for charging... -

Since Mark is talking about the 4-place B model, I doubt this would fit the Patrol or LSA. -
I hadn't thought about the governor – that makes sense.
I'm still curious about having a gascolator that is not mounted at the lowest... -
And THAT is exactly why I chose to trust the Bearhawk factory guys, rather than my own welds... So glad Mark offers QB kits! -
Autocad Fusion appears to only be free for 1 year, then you have to start paying for it. At least that's what I experienced. Just about the time I felt... -
I played around with ehangar.org (note the correct spelling of "hangar") as well, but they not only don't have a Patrol panel file, there appears...Leave a comment:

Hey, Steve, in the middle picture, it that your gascolator just to the right of the big hole in your firewall? The item that has metal lines sloping... -
