I plan to be there, weather allowing. Thanks for the invite. Enjoyed talking with you and Monica at Triple Tree.

Wish I had done that.

Are you guys spending the night Friday or just doing a Saturday day trip?

I second the organized labeled hardware containers . Disorganization is the enemy of progress. Also try to have multiple efforts going at once so if you run into a bottleneck (have to order parts etc) in one area, you can shift over to the other and keep moving, If you get sick of doing...

I agree, great work! i would get bounced off in the middle of making posts previously. This is no longer happening.

Thank you for the kind words.! We learn from each other.

0 Steps: Pick a shape you like. I used the RV10 wheel pant shape as a starting point. Sketch the shape onto poster board and cut it out. Transfer to a block of foam (I just glued cheap blocks of styrofoam together). Carved with an electric turkey carving knife to the approximate shape then...

Sure, will do.

I did the paint. Its superflite paint with them matching custom colors i picked out

I will compile a description and photos and share those.

Kevin here are three photos taken minutes apart during sunrise first flight. Paint is loaded with metal flake and changes color with the amount of light.

I wanted to share a problem I had that could be very serious. Granted most of you would not be as stupid as I was. I had just finished an engine run after fine tuning the fuel servo mixture. My mind was distracted as I analyzed the data. I shut down and was going to exit the plane. I normally...

Well its been a long time since I have posted anything as I went through the humbling process of building my 5 kit. Its taken way longer than I anticipated. The single biggest issue was firewall forward as 2 things collided. I had some issues with clearances in converting the rear intake of my K...

Received the kit today. Thanks to my neighbors who helped unload. Ready to get started. First impressions: What an amazing packing job! Those wing crates are hell for stout and there is approximately zero chance they are moving in route. Things were for the most part were labelled very...

I found this old spreadsheet that I had been searching for that was developed for Sport Aviation Magazine in 2003 by Neal Willford. It calculates oil cooler sizing, inlet and out cowl areas required based on user inputs including HP, TAS, Altitude, baffle vs plenum, inlet/outlet air ratio...

Yes, you nailed it. The GSL393 is the pump they use. The couple with their regulator and bypass check to make it work.

Wanted to share how I wasted time chasing a rabbit on my EFII fuel pump. Im sure many of you in your search for fuel boost pumps discovered amongst the available options, the EFII has the lowest pressure drop when its not running. I certainly did and that along with fact that it was working...
