    Opencockpit radio volume

    My open cockpit airplane is giving me trouble hearing the radio. Its non-electrical so I am using a handheld radio. It's a VERY loud airplane. I've got an ANR headset with my Sky Cowboys helmet. Would an intercom boost my volume? How can I make it so I can actually hear the radio? Right now...

    Will the FAA ever issue a ferry permit if a plane is in Phase 1 and was bought by someone new? The idea being to ferry it to where it will finish Phase 1.

    Lycoming O-290 manual

    I'm finishing a purchase of an experimental with an O-290C on it. I can find a manual for an O-290D but not a C. Are they close enough that the manual contents for the D would be good for the C?

    Increased Max Gross?

    I had a friend, who I trust and whose built two very beautiful birds, tell me today that you can increase your kits limiting max gross takeoff weight above what the kit design has published. He said all you have to do is show it'll carry the extra weight. I'd kill for just 50 to 100 extra lbs...

    VGs on fabric

    I'm looking over the plans for my Horizon 2 and I realized you can add slats if you like. I've done a lot of reading and it seems like slats dont really give that much improvement for the drag they cause in most flight regimes. VGs seem to be the way to go, but I'm not sure if I can attach...

This is my first build project so I expect the learning curve to be quite severe. I’m very excited about it, as this is the number one item on the bucket list. I’ve chosen...
