    Fuel injected vw beetle

    I just bought a 76 beetle to make a rail type dune buggy out of that has factory fuel injection. As a pilot and RV3 owner I immediately thought that some one in aviation may have a use for the fuel injection system as I want to convert to carb.

    Design I would like to see

    I would like to see someone design a very lite LSA by combining a fuselage like a legal Eagle with an aluminum wing from a Titan Tornado 1. It would have the 20 foot all aluminum easy to build cantilever wing with easy to build modified/redesigned tube fuselage. Could take a variety of engines.

    NR ground adj prop from Ukraine

    I ordered a ground adjustable carbon fiber prop for my RV3 from NR prop in Ukraine. It has arrived and looks great. It cost about 1/5 what some USA companies are charging. Check out their website. The guy in charge, Roman, is very good to deal with and quick to answer questions. The prop was...

    Input on 0-235 rebuild

    I would personally forgo the 10-15 hp Gain achieved thru difficult and expensive means and settle for 2400 hr TBO and very reliable performance.

    Input on 0-235 rebuild

    I have had three 0235 108hp and flying one now in my RV3.? If you want to increase power start with the L2C or similar 118hp models. The cases on the older C series 108 are not strong enough to easily increase HP. Most all parts interchange except cylinders and piston/rings. I recently learned...

    RV3 Fuselage Tank

    I wasn’t sure if there was any issues to put it inside but I like how it turned out. I have flown the new tank about 8 hours now and glad I made the mod.

    RV3 Fuselage Tank

    The FAA has signed off on my fuselage tank. New paperwork issued and a 5 hour phase 1. I have flown off 3 of the 5 with no problems. Part of the mod was adding an Usher Gascolator in center of fuselage just distal to tank for a low point fuel drain. The wing tanks uses screen type racing auto...

    RV3 Fuselage Tank

    The right has been leaking for several years access plates not the problem. Mainly back plate. Left only leaking last year or so and possibly an easy fix but both had been sloshed with a white compound per vans early instructions. I like the simpler fuselage tank. I am 5 /11 and weight about...

    RV3 Fuselage Tank

    I have excellent wing tanks leaking only after many years. Resealing wing tanks is not a job I want at this stage. I am saving every piece removed in conversion so the next owner can deal with the wing tanks. I made screw in plates to replace fuel caps. I could convert back to wing tanks in a day.

    RV3 Fuselage Tank

    With my wing tanks leaks slowly getting worse I decided to go with a fuselage tank. I fabricated a 18 tank from .050 5052-H32 and had it welded and pressure tested by a well respected fabrication shop. It’s round 20 inches diameter 12 inches thick. I made SS support straps from vans plans and...
