I have the T-3 on my RANS S-7S, and every time I land off airport I think it's broken, because it feels so soft compared to the J-3 leaf spring I...

I would have loved to have seen the Metro pilot's face when he got a look at what was left his airplane, priceless! The good news is, both engines...

Yup, I had issues with my Poly-Tone paint and the stencils. But I couldn't wait to put them on the second S-7, having had them on the first. But...

I think the people building kit planes (or scratch built also, even more so) and trying to get a handle on the TOTAL cost, are kidding themselves if...

Be patient, for one thing, it'll be like watching paint dry. At least it won't cost anything.....I finally got my ranch strip back on the charts...

I have always appreciated Spruce give me (in the USofA) the option to ship via US Mail, which is plenty fast enough and always the cheapest for...

I have kept my resolve to NOT LOOK at the calendar in total, just 1 month at a time as the day rolls around. Yesterday was one such day, I'm really...

One example of how it can pay to avoid a load: I installed a small (400 watts) PV system at the ski patrol shack at the top of the ski area behind my...

That is a substantial load, assuming it's 24/7, for an off grid solar system, make no mistake. Right off the bat I'd check the power supply and see...

I heard that the now ( for the last 15 years or so, liked it as it was much better) controlled Jackson Hole WY airport has a landing fee, but have...

I can't recall EVER paying an overnight or landing fee, in the last 34 years away, guess I'm flying in the wrong places. This thread makes me re-...

As a 20+ year, 2 different S-7's RANS flier/builder, I can tell you Randy Schlitter, their Grand Poobah, is one of those smart guys who knows how to...

I thought this was going to be a video about landing in too tall of vegetation, carry on.
