Current aircraft EI has variable timing based on manifold pressure but they lack knock sensors and a few other condition monitors that modern engine...

10 years ago that was a simple approval at ANC FSDO. Have you asked?

50 x 60 wouldn't be too big even with a 4 stall garage at the house.

FWIW, today's the day I need to dry the desiccant. The pumps ran full time for 6 weeks plus. Not bad.

25 years ago, flying low level up Wolverine Creek, the drainage that defines the NW side of Mt Susitna. In a Hawk XP so not clawing uphill but not...

Cessna 150 in cruise and the wake of an F-15 doing a very hard high-power turn right in front of me. He used me like a pylon. Cool view of an F-15,...

The Matanuska-Susitna-Yentna valleys have hundreds of small strips, most uncharted. The C-130 presence was something we got used to a long time ago....

Common in the Mat-Su area. At least now they only fly in pairs instead of flights of 5 and 6.

You'll need a reduction unit and radiator. Add those back in.

I don't know the answer to that. I have an overhead video of a Cub with slats landing. How the wing fabric flips from scalloped down to pillowed out...

Set it on top of the glare shiel with velcro to hold it. Drop a wire through the Vee brace hole if you need ship's power.

Mike turned me onto this screwdriver a few years ago. Handy. Slower than typical drivers. Most broken and stripped screw problems are eliminated....

https://www.aircraftspruce.com/menus/ha/sheetmetalscrews.html Truss heads. Type A are the sharps, B are the blunts. I'm pretty sure my planes have...

So you're not drilled for lacing through the extended metal? Are you planning to? If not, are you comfortable with all that lift area being secured...

Nice. That should work well. It looks like you have a long way to go but I look forward to a pirep.

So far the new motor's been great. As for the recalled one? It was part of the journey. I rolled the dice and lost. C'est la vie.

Like a hand-built ported, balanced, high compression 390 with improved induction, improved injection, improved ignition, and improved exhaust? I put...

E-AB is the reform.

If demand ever pushes manufacturing to expand their engine line? Make mine a diesel. http://www.continental.aero/diesel/diesel-engines.aspx They're...

My Ext leading edges are drilled for lacing.

Groves don't have an external spring on the park brake arm. Maybe there's one internal? They work great.

According to Pponk the popular C401-86" makes identical thrust as the C401-88". I'd love to see a static comparison between an IO-520 and IO-550....
