    Witnessed something today I've never seen before.

    As Topaz indicated, if there was a TFR at the time, yeah, he's in a bit of trouble. However, if there wasn't, it's possible that it was a training flight. Quite often the military will work with the CAP for GA intercept practice. I've been out of the country so I have no idea if there were any...

    T-88 vs EA 9410 for aluminum to woood

    Actually, I'm working on the rudders and the question is specifically for the aluminum tube that goes through the leading edge ribs. I believe just about all the other aluminum to wood attachments have bolts involved. Based on both of the replies here, it looks like I'll wait until I get back...

    T-88 vs EA 9410 for aluminum to woood

    Just curious which would be better when bonding aluminum to wood. T-88 or EA 9410. Or does it make much of a difference?

    How to start a aircraft homebuild project?

    In some countries, periodic inspections are required, but as far as I know there is no such requirement in the US. At least, *I* didn't have any when I was building. All that being said, it's not a bad idea to have someone that is knowledgeable come to check your work from time to time. This is...

    How to start a aircraft homebuild project?

    If you want something different, then keep looking is all I can say. You can always do another project in the future if you want. There's ALWAYS something else!! Only an advantage. Not mandatory at all. This can be an even bigger advantage, depending on the chapter and where their focus...

    looking for wood aircraft plans

    I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that more than likely, everyone on this board that built an aircraft has probably been a first time builder. Despite that, they got it done. In other words, don't sweat it. There's a first time for everything. Thousands of other builders have been in...

    looking for wood aircraft plans

    As far as getting the wood and what not, I suggest looking at the Mini-Max website again. They split their kits up into sub-kits that are more affordable. Getting the supplies from them doesn't seem to be much more expensive than if you ordered it yourself. The real plus is that you know you're...

    Blue Mountain Avionics User's Group

    For the record, I loved my BMA EFIS-1. Unfortunately, the accelerometer went out on it. From reading the old BMA forum, it turns out that particular accelerometer was no longer made. On top of that, if I did manage to get one, I'd have to recalibrate it, which takes several hours and requires a...

    Alternative 4 tank fuel system

    Hi Falconflier, Sorry I haven't been around lately, but I haven't had much time with my new job. Anyway, I have the original XR and used the Andair 5 way valve with a single facet fuel pump located downstream of the valve. This works great. I also have a return line that feeds into the...

    question on varnishes....

    Thanks guys! This is exactly what I was looking for. I'll probably order up some Clear Varnish from System Three when I can hang out at my hangar for more than a couple days. Probably late winter or early spring. <sigh>

    question on varnishes....

    Hope y'all don't mind a slight diversion here, but I got a couple of varnish questions... When should I varnish? As soon as the part is made? Or should I wait until I assemble those parts into bigger parts? As an example, I have a bunch of ribs made out of spruce, but that's about all. It'll...

    Experimental Aircraft documentation

    I agree with TFF. Although there's no real guidance about what needs to go into the build log, it's in your best interest to have as much info as possible. It'll get tedious at times, but getting to the nitty gritty of how many layers of glass you laminated, what kind of aluminum you used for a...

    Have a bad feeling

    I have absolutely no idea what kind of a project you're doing or thinking of, but keep in mind that lot's of other people have gotten it done. Look at it as a bunch of little projects. Come up with a step by step process for how to accomplish each of these little projects. If you're scratch...

    Beware the man who knows everything

    Awesome!! BTW... Although Denny wants a rematch, I left him in the dust when we did a side by side speed test. We have the same engine and prop combo, so it was a fair contest. The Team Tango folks have done quite a bit with speed mods in the last bunch of years.

    Vision testing is it an area to be restested?

    Been hearing that since the 80s. Mostly from people providing the flight training.

    Beware the man who knows everything

    Probably with Denny Funnemark. Just flipped 300 hours on mine last month. Been having a lot of fun with it. Wish I could fly it more, but work seems to get in the way.
