    EFI on a Jabiru 3300

    I started a project log on my EFI project: Microsquirt EFI on a Jabiru 3300 I will explain more about the project in this discussion thread. The engine is on a Rans S7. The early Jabiru engines have a number of problems and my engine is an early 1st Generation engine so it doesn't have most...

    Timber Tiger Aircraft Presentation

    I just want to thank Nick Pfannenstiel for the excellent presentation he gave to EAA 1373 yesterday. He described Timber Tiger's current offerings of the Ryan ST-L and the Early Bird Jenny. He also described the Kay Speedster to be offered soon. He also explained the rational for some of the...

    Adding Fuel Fitting to Tank

    I need to add fuel return lines for my EFI project. The fuel tanks are mounted in the wings and the ends of the tanks are exposed. The fuel fill is about 9" from the end of the tank. I intend to drill holes in the tank ends to accept fittings for the return lines. What is a good way to...

    Microsquirt EFI on a Jabiru 3300

    I started this project last winter and I am just returning to it now. The airplane is flying and the project was done piecemeal. I want to keep the airplane flying so I just do a little at a time. I am keeping the existing fuel system and one ignition for redundancy. I have an Aeroinjector...

    Wax in Resin?

    The chapter know-it-all is convinced that all resins have wax in them and as a consequence, you must follow a laborious procedure to remove the wax between layups. Since I spent 15 years of my misspent youth in fiberglass shops, this is news to me. However we bought resin in 55 gallon drums...

    Verner 7U installed weight

    I give up! I think it is somewhere on this forum but I cannot find it with the search function. What is the FWF weight of a complete Verner 7U with oil tank, oil, exhaust, hoses- whatever it takes to run the engine? Ignore battery, engine mount and cowl.

    Vortex Generators on Cowl?

    I ran into something interesting. One of our EAA members has a Zenith 601 with an O-200 that has been having temperature problems. I have written about it here before. He put an oil cooler on it last summer which helped but oil temps are still high given ambient temps. A couple weeks ago he...

    Had a Scare Today!

    I flew this morning and everything went fine. After I landed I took the headset off as I was taxiing back between the hangers. The engine started making the most awful hammering sound. It sounded like the connecting rods were about to come through the side of the crankcase or the exhaust pipe...

    Smith Miniplane Plans on Amazon

    Not quite free plans but close. Scott Smith sells a Kindle book containing the original Miniplane plans for the princely sum of $9.99. Amazon has a free app to allow reading Kindle books on a PC. The plans are generally readable. There are a few notes that will take some deciphering. The...

    Budd Davissons Pitts Training

    I completed nine hours of Pitts training with Budd Davisson last Saturday. One of our members will be going soon and maybe what I experienced will be helpful to him and any others going. I am a low time taildragger pilot flying under LSA rules so I didn't have any real experience in heavier...

    Ineffective Oil Cooler on O-200

    A friend has a bit of a puzzler. He has a Zenith 601 with a Continental O-200. He bought the airplane in coastal Alabama. He winters there. He few it there and oil temperatures were good. He left Alabama in the spring to fly the airplane to western Colorado. He didn't make it far. One of...

    Operations on almost Intersecting Runways

    We have a self appointed airport cop at my home airport. He angrily accused a friend of flying an illegal pattern. We have two runways. 3/21 is the paved main runway and 14/32 is a 2600' gravel runway. Runway 3 is the normal runway in use and has a right pattern to avoid annoying the golfers...

    Aeroduino Ignition

    I stumbled on this electronic ignition using an Arduino for controller and a Volkswagen "smart" coil pack. I don't recall hearing about this before. Looks like it would be a simple setup. I don't see any details on wiring. Maybe that is to come. Aeroduino Ignition

    Wife's First Ride Today

    Dana did it yesterday, and I did it today. It is a little different thought My wife has flown in light planes before but she has never flown with me as PIC. My Thatcher CX4 is a single seat so I bought a Rans S-7 last year so we would have a two seater. The airplane had issues that made me...

    Piano Hinge for Cowl

    What kind of piano hinge is used to fasten cowl halves together. Is hardware store aluminum hinge adequate or do I need the MS numbered aircraft hinge? This is for a slow airplane. Not much over 100 mph.
