Yup, more than one way to get 'er done, cost really wasn't considered though, what the heck. Plus I'm telling all the local pilots I know it's...

Me neither, I am more inclined, and have done so 2 or 3 times with good effect, to hit the "mags" (Rotax...) and the master, both located where they...

I had a composite prop on the Rotax bite the dirt once, and it looked OK after I got the tail down, but a little push on the tip showed it had...

The proper RV terminology is "waste valve" I think. You are correct, closer to 50 than 20 bucks all up cost, as usual anything I buy via Amazon...

Looks like he almost had a little too much help there towards the end. I've found, at least on the RANS S-7S, that the same person who put it on the...

Got it done, Glen is gone! Since I had the chance to take a pro video guy up for the event, I did, a somewhat infamous one but he knows his video...

Go local, keep your money local. A good builder will be busy as hell, and with a golden rep, that's the guy you want.. O ther than the door, there is...

Only a pilot from Colorado would call the range east of Afton, hills!

I know all the advantages of having a fuel selector valve, but on my experimentals I always set them up for BOTH tanks, ALL the time. I never feel a...

I don't know of any BH LSA builders landing mountain sides/tops, short gravel bars, and other foolish places like I do all the time in the flap...

The wing, lot more squares, and faster. I'd settle for an extended span 21 wing for my 7, something that Randy has kicked around but it's way on the...

I have the ash deploying device ( I need to come up with a snappy term for it) on the plane and loaded with woodstove ash. Including small chunks of...

I'm an experienced and apparently adequate kitplane builder, (5 times) meaning I am OK with putting parts together, but doing a good flap mod, with...

IF the Bearhawk LSA had flaps I'd have one by now.

In talking with some other local pilots today, one mentioned that another local 82 year long time pilot is hanging it up and putting his SC up for...

We S-7 pilots have long used Plexi for the windshield, and lexan e erywhere else, with good results. If the price difference is a concern, a...

I spent a night in that hangar once, MUCH appreciated. Anyone else notice that steel beam design in the roof? Never seen that before or since, looks...

Good luck with that..... A length of 3" PVC or ABS pipe, about 3' long, glue the RV valve thingies on it, and play with rope angles and lengths to...

Looks like I'll have a pro video guy friend along for the ride when it all comes together, that will be pretty cool, probably multiple cameras/POV's,...

For sure, got plenty of stove ash already. I had already mentally McGyvered something similar, but the RV dump valve was the missing link, I was...

At a wake this weekend for a friend, it seemed I was the only pilot and as such got designated as the ash dispersal person. I thought of the threads...

The plastic wing tips on my RANS are just eye candy, they don't do anything....but I waited until they were scraped and cracked pretty good...

Spend a few hours in ridge lift while dead stick, ridge lift weak enough to make you work at staying up, and you will learn what the best sink rate...

Yup, tram carefully, than eyeball for straight, that's how I did my T-Craft wing. I got lucky maybe but it trammeled and then eyeballed perfect.

I got some T-Craft time......using the scaffold plank I made years ago from the non-airworthy rear spars, to do some flashing work on top the...

Yeah it took me a while to catch on to that, as I re-attached my chains after installing the 3 while the tail was still elevated. An easy fix, and as...

I had tail shimmy when on my J3 spring, but only when the tail ski was on. Now that I think of it, this winter the shimmy went away, I chalked it up...

Great use of a linear actuator. Bet that took him a while to get the lever arms/angles/ geometry figured out.

I just realized, I stupidly put the digital scale on my usual pick points for when I lift the tail up in the hangar. A couple feet or so in front of...

Probably, guesstimating about.... wait a minute, I have a new digital scale, I'll run out to the hangar, you got me curious. If my scale can be...
