Ha, I forgot about this..... At 2600 hours, I started hearing a rattling sound, turned out my muffler had shed it internals, thus the noise. A simple...

How much travel, as measured at the shock itself?

I find it interesting how many different plane designs, Huskys and RANS S-7's to name just two, eventually come around to the fact that what they...

We have been getting hammered in SE Idaho also. Winter finally arrived!

So when will the 31" Airstreaks come out? Made for a lighter gross weight plane, like mine. I'm ready anytime they want to make me a pair.

That'd be a good start, except for possible pooling in low spots. If I was a plumbing contractor down there, I'd offer two price points. One for...

I understand why the water lines are run the way they are down there, as opposed to up north. But after this, if I was a homeowner whose ceiling...

Looked like aluminum or maybe Lexan in a somewhat airfoil shape around the shocks, hard to see, a guess.

HA! I won't do that, but at some point I will share my findings with my fellow RANS S-7S pilots, who are hauling around those big spinners for no...

Looks like you faired the shocks.....?

It was a cheap enough experiment, (forget the hours of labor, fitting etc.) but yielded absolutely no speed increase, so back on the wall it goes....

A couple days ago I was driving by one of our large wind farms, in perfect conditions for icing, judging by the road conditions. They were all...

Cooling drag, turbulence around the cowl with that big gap, who knows, I will find out, probably not a huge amount but just a little less can't hurt....

A county gravel road, 1.5 miles to a paved 2 lane rd., then down the mountain and 3 minutes later I can get on I-15, and another 10 miles it joins...

That above picture (T-Craft, pert sure) ) tells me, if that was my cowl, that a big spinner would be perhaps counter productive, that cowl was made...

That above picture tells me, if that was my cowl, that a big spinner would be perhaps counter productive, that cowl was made for a skull cap or even...

JUST a crush plate, but a fancy anodized and engraved one, first time I've seen that! That laser, water jet, or CNC 'd? Half the reason I'm...

That never occured to me, and I can see how that could work. Right now my holes are tight/perfect all around, so no adjustment is possible. ...

A little known fact: Fastenal has a shipping service. This came up on a Kubota tractor forum I'm on, when I needed to ship a backhoe bucket. They...

I got my 12" spinner on the RANS, and it has a SLIGHT wobble. Whether or not there is a allowable minor wobble tolerance, or if all other spinners...

I had a used spinner backing plate that was already drilled for nutplates, (though they had been removed and used on some other project) and when I...

Due to the big gap in the RANS cowl, not using a 12" spinner as intended may be more draggy then the tighter cowl I see the Cubs use? And also let...

I've been flying with a 6" skullcap on my RANS 7 for the last 2700 hrs, and have just fitted a 12" , what the plane and most importantly the cowl was...

Piece of cake, I've gotten my 29' span S-7S through my shop 19' door easily, with two dollies under the mains (the rear already has a swivel...

I get into my tandem taildragger S-7S different then most I guess. I back up, step onto the tire, put my butt on the door opening bottom, then reach...

Reading the above shipping routes and carriers make me want to give my UPS guy a big hug, ( a fist bump I meant) even 5 miles out of Inkom I get...

I guess you haven't flown the same plane with uncovered gear, and then covered and faired it to see the difference! Doing so in a plane you have at...
