    Special AW Cert - No Operating Limitations Date

    I've been reading about major changes and how your operating limitations direct the owner what to do in the case of a major change. I pulled out my aircraft document file to review my AW cert, logs, and OL's. The first document to review was the AW cert which curiously did not have a date...

    Parts For Sale SOLD: 52 X 42 VW Prop

    This propeller has not been used. It was mounted to the hub once but not tightened to spec. I was told it was built by Culver but there is no manufacturer marking. It is stamped with the size, pitch (52*42), and serial number (1625). The hub is 2.625" thick. The mounting pattern is on a 4"...

    Redrilling A Wood Propeller

    I have a gorgeous, brand new Culver prop but the mounting pattern is for a force one VW hub instead of SAE-1. I suppose that one could rotate the pattern 30 degrees and drill a new set of mounting holes. Is this a bad idea? I don't know if this would cause safety issues. Would doweling the...

    Avare driven Autopilot

    Has anyone here successfully used Avare to send flightplan info to their autopilot? I bought a Bluetooth to serial adapter so I can start playing with this. I would love input from someone who has done it previously. My Trutrak has magnetic heading built in so the failure mode would be...

    Mold Material That Can Be Laser Cut

    I designed a layered mold for my landing gear with a plan to laser cut the layers from 1/4" MDF. I have tried 2 different kinds of MDF but am unable to cut through it. Is there another material that is cheap and can be laser cut? I am considering cardboard with a coat of body filler as an...

If you have thoughts on a particular one or a potential option I missed, your input is greatly appreciated! 1. Outsourced fiberglass gear - dead end, never made it to quoting. 2. DIY fiberglass...

    Did a fun random project today

    The Dragonfly restoration is still making progress but in the meantime I added a laser to my prototyping business. I figured the first project rightfully should be an airplane.

    I am working on my pitch trim and would love to know opinions on what is the best human interface option. I am considering a 3 position momentary switch (like Ray Allen), a rotary potentiometer, and a slide potentiometer but I am open to other suggestions too.

    Hauling Suggestion Needed

    I am traveling to pick up a Falcon XP this weekend and am looking for suggestions on a way to haul it home (3 hours). The wings are pretty long so I'm thinking it will take a box truck since rental trailers only go to 12 feet. What suggestions do people have for this trip?

    2 Seater - solo build

    I've been looking at several options for a two seat build. Looking for decent cross country ability, room for 2 plus luggage, and full fuel. I like the Mustang 2 and RV-7/9 but I don't have someone to help squeeze rivets. I love the Cozy but I don't have confidence in my ability as a body...
