Saw a new stol aircraft model being offered as a fast build kit . Performance numbers look good . aircraft looks really nice . STOLAIRCRAFTCOMPANY.COM CHECK IT OUT

EAA should also try and stop the other owners in that area from providing camping and parking . Stop anything that may take a dollar from their pocket . guess that’s the corporate way . glad to see SOS brothers fought back and won . our EAA dollars at work .

Tbi on 0 360 lyc . Finally getting around to finishing exp supercub . have engine at lycon engines to be run in and tuned with the ROTEC. There are issues . Seems to run too lean . Got the engine running good on low rpm settings , sounded good . Will not run above about 2300 rpm . Removed...

IO 470 seabee That seabee was recently sold on the east coast somewhere . I tried to find the new owner but the the guy that just sold it would not tell me. I did talk to George papas recently and he is still around . Did you you get rid of that dyal control yoke ? I would be interested...

Hey sageelite , let's see what you made?

I have also bought this same unit for my exp cub. I have not installed it yet. I did correspond with a guy that had about 30 hours on his and was quite happy with it. I do not think that 30 hours is a great endorsement but I am willing to give mine a try.

The fire blankets usually go on the engine side of the firewall. We use these on the lancair aircraft . There are other fireproofing materials , fibrefrax is one used on glasairs . It is sold by aircraft spruce. The glasair has well as the lancairs have a composite firewall that needs...

They are still selling. Not sure how much. A friend of mine lives close to their shop and flew in to see them in the last year.

I believe there are quite a few of the nick smith Cubs around.

Nice to hear you like Stewart's , we had the course and thought it was an easy system to use. I have not done it yet as I am still waiting for parts to my cub project. When I get ? The parts I will hang my wings , finish controls and be close to finishing with Stewart's. I may just take my...

I think that it depends on the airflow. I had put 4 naca duct vents for cabin air on the the canopy skirt of my rv4 . Two up front and two for the back seat , placed on each side of the canopy. They were useless . I only got positive flow when side slipping or putting a credit card out the...

Could you just post the info or diagram here for eveyone to see? it helps us all in the building from no plans projects. could be helpful to someone that may have a problem in their system?

I do not think this will help to gain manifold pressure . In higher speed aircraft you may gain a little , not much from ram air. I think the system needs to be well engineered . A larger intake funneled down thru a filter ? I would not put much effort into that. the cowl intake on an rv4 with...

I am doing my own cowl design . It has a cub like nosebowl but the rest is different. More streamlined looking . Composite. I will take the air in off the front baffle ramp , just inside the nosebowl intakes.

I have purchased the rotec throttle body as well . I am confident that it will work fine. I checked with a couple of others that were already using it. They were happy. I wanted this for a few reasons , to get away from a carb , I did not want to have a donkey dick hanging under my cowl , my...

I can see that MARTY57 paid attention in the class. But I also saw it in his working sample.... we spend a lot of time and money on our projects . I think the small amount of time and cost to learn the system you are using and the excellent tips that the books do not show , are well worth it and...
