    Four Stroking

    I saw the configuration of the SD1. I “believe” one of his issues was the redesign of the intake manifold. Fuel injection is very dependent on the distance between the nozzle and the intake valve. His design changed that length.

    Private landing strip question

    State Aviation Department can assist. In my state if your A/P is not “legit”, the neighbors can shut it down. If you jumped thru the hurdles and your legit, your mostly immune from tort issues.

    Using the spreadsheet, how would you figure the % of load differential between the front and rear lift struts ?

    Rotax 582 inverted

    MACOWA is spot on. Yes inverted engines do require gravity awareness. The iridium spark plugs are also a viable solution. The water cooled engines do require some rerouting of the hoses for inverted installs. Rotax manuals explain this. Ideally inverted engines should allow sufficient cool...

    Saving Ultralights From Being Banned

    Why do you presume that the “ultralights” are un airworthy (roadworthy).

    CGS HAWK REBUILT

    Looks to me that he is assembling a project from misc parts and pieces. The registration & AWC will be a simple formality. If he plans in keeping the car attached it may a bit more complex.

    What is going on at the FAA?

    “Lost in Space” famous phrase: -Does Not Compute- Your pathway is not correct. AWC applications go through the FAA online Splash Portal. KitPlanes magazine has an excellent step by step article on this easy process.

    Why not EFI

    At Sun N Fun there was the AERO1000 on a Quicksilver. Looks to be full ECU with EFI. Actually an impressive package.

    First hand liability Issues?

    Wrong. There is a pathway. And it's not Exhibition. I won't get into a urinary fluid tossing match with all the "experts"....but there is a path way.

    Donate it to the YMCA or similar non profit organization. It helps them and your attachment is eliminated.

    Two place CGS Hawk restoration

    Holy mackerel. It was such a simple question. The answer is in FAA Order 8130.2J That plane can be a legal registered E-A/B. Minimum pilot requirement would a SP student certificate.

    ADS-B and Part 103

    I was simply stating the regs. I do know this issue is on the desk of several entities. ADS-B out is required for certain UAV, Drones….etc. This topic has been discussed at “MOSAIC” conferences as well. A lot of new technologies are being folded into the working system.

    ADS-B and Part 103

    The registration (N number) process and the AWC process are separate issues. You can possess a N number without an AWC however you can’t possess an AWC without a N number
