Pull a mag and look at the gears in the accessory case. That’s a reasonable stand-in for the cam and lifters. If the gears aren’t rusted/pitted, that’s a good sign.

There aren’t many two seaters that are inexpensive, fast, and sip fuel. But I really liked my Tomahawk. Might take a look at those.

Dana, is that explicitly stated anywhere? I can't find it. Not that I'm a Team expert by any stretch, but I can't find a set of spec's on their website which defines what the "R" version is and what differentiates it from whatever other versions they have (which are alluded to, but not really...

Do you think it would be difficult to sub in a 5 gallon tank? I don't.

If you look 1/3 of the way down the page that advertises the Hi-max, there are a couple of videos listed as "Hi-max Ultralight".

That airplane *can* be an ultralight. What engine does it come with? If it is a Rotax engine or maybe a 1/2 VW, the airplane is probably sellable as an ultralight and none of the build log stuff matters, nor does FAA registration, nor does a data plate, since by the FAA's definition, it isn't...

What they could do is offer more/better guidance around the behavior they would like campers to exhibit when taking space (assuming they are not already seeing the behavior they desire). Maybe they could drive a cultural shift with a series of reminders year after year...

The challenge is that EAA doesn't really wanna be in the enforcement business. They would rather rely on reasonable people to do reasonable things. That doesn't always work, but EAA is probably very reluctant to get involved unless they aren't getting paid...

Link please.

530 pounds of full fuel. Who’s gonna need that on a family trip? Nobody. Figure 4.5 hours x 12 gph x 6 lbs/gal = 325 lbs. Use the other 200 pounds for people and stuff and still enjoy 700 NM legs.

1) You can't buy one. 2) It has retracts. 3) It would be interesting to sit in it and check the over the nose/forward visibility. 4) Do the back seats work for real people? Has anyone climbed in the back of one? The first two are real. The second two are TBD as far as I know.

This is pretty much how I look at it. You want the ropes (or whatever) tight enough that the airplane isn't doesn't start moving around and create a slack rope that the airplane can jerk against. That can (not does) either damage the airplane with sudden point loads, ultimately break the rope...

Think about your local fairgrounds. The county (or city) owns the property, but the fair leases the grounds and charges admission. And presumably can prohibit certain individuals from entering. Same thing for your local Civic Center. Even your local High School football stadium is publicly...

Probably can't ban them from the airport, but they can ban him from the grounds EAA leases for the event. So, in theory, Dan could legally visit Basler, but would be persona non-grata on show grounds.

I thought it was DB Cooper...

Multi-focal contacts work. I switch back and forth between glasses and contacts every 5-10 years when I get fed up with the compromise of whatever system I'm using at the time. Both of the last times I used contacts I used multi-focals and was pleased with the results. And then I eventually...

Good intentions and all that, but the problem is, publishing the shot is probably gonna cost EAA money and efforts to deal with Dan... again. I guarantee EAA would have preferred that you not publish it. Worse, there are other individuals on the list. Some of them may go after EAA too - you...

Dan has yet to find someone he can't pick a fight with.

I think I had that exact same guy for 5 years at Georgia Tech!

Wooden props are typically smoother running and are definitely much lighter than metal props. They typically have thicker cross sections and are less efficient. The easiest performance boost for a 65 horse Continental airplane (other than an engine swap) is to move to a metal prop. Would I...
