    I figured it out! okay...actually I didn't figure it out but someone told me how they are labeled. Dynon has it correct-I just didn't realize that B1 for example is really pin E. Thanks!

    Bendix king transponder

    Has anyone figured this out yet? I too am wiring a KT76A to a Dynon D-100 and I am using Dynons Encoder Converter. I don't understand the numbering/lettering on the King plug. On page 7-34 of the Dynon manual it tells me to connect the: Yellow to A1 (on the King plug) Green to A2 White/Blue...

    Fabric systems choice

    Superflite VI doesn't have full UV protection? What self proclaimed expert told you that? The Superflite system has been around for a zillion years and is FAA approved. I would suggest talking to the manufactures, gathering your informtaion based on facts and not opinions, and then make an...

    Anybody building a Titan T-51 kit?

    You could build two complete RV-8's with mid-time engines for what it would cost to complete the Titan T-51. Looks cool, but 50K for just the kit? Mark

    Lookin' for 'tips'

    Hi builders! I suppose this is the best location on this great site to post this. I am putting together a bunch of funny builder's tip or antidotes. An example would be something like "A dropped rivet will seek the most inaccessible location available!" or "Belt sanders work well on wood...

    Need funny tips!

    Hi all, I need some help from the creative thinkers out there. I'm putting together a list of funny builder's tip or antidotes for kitplanes. I am doing something unique with these tips though (and I can't tell ya until it done) so they need to be about 20 words or less. Here's an...

    Okay guys and gals, I have a secret project going one here!! I need 100 builder's tips for homebuilt airplanes. Each one should be no more than 30 words and the funnier the better! Here's an example "Eventually you will drill a hole in yourself. Use a smaller drill bit-they hurt less!!"...

    Spinner size

    Hi all, I just ordered plans for a Hummelbird. No, I'm not going to build a hummelbird though. Hmmm.... I am building a Hummelbird 'look-alike'. As far as I can tell from the messin' around I've been doing on the computer, my plane will be about 10% larger with the tail surfaces another...

    RV Aluminum thickness?

    thanks Hey CJ, I am designing and building a single seat CAP-21. It will use the 80 horse AeroVee engine. Although the full scale CAP 21 is an aerobatic monster, mine is not being built specifically for aerobatics-just a low cost, all aluminum, cheap to fly, 125 mph cruiser. I'm not...

    Rex Phelps- Kitfox

    Hello Rex! Hi Rex, I met you at Oshkosh two years ago with Mike Fisher. I'm building the RANS S-10 which if I remember correctly, you were interested in before your 'unpleasant' dealings with you know who! My S-10 is basically done-I have to bolt the wings on and paint the cowl. I have...

    SEL currnet-NO! Hi Capt-I'm a new member and I'll post an introduction soon, but I'm a pilot for Mesaba and I haven't flown a small plane or a single engine plane for years! So I'm not even current to fly a Cessna. I'm looking forward to getting current again and getting a tail wheel...
